Contract logistics & dedicated fleet management

Your freight network works. But is it working smart enough?

When transport is managed in-house, inefficiency rarely shows up in one obvious place.

It builds through underused vehicles, empty runs, inconsistent scheduling, ageing assets, driver shortages, avoidable overtime and the growing effort required to keep everything moving.

Alexander Group helps businesses test whether their current freight model is still the right one, then design and manage a more reliable, visible and cost-effective alternative.

Reduce the cost of running the network

Align fleet, routes, capacity and schedules to actual demand, reducing waste across the whole operation.
Improve service reliability

Put the right vehicles, drivers and capacity when and where the business actually needs them.
Free up internal capacity

Free your people from the daily burden of managing fleet, maintenance, drivers, compliance and exceptions.
Gain clearer operational visibility

Use structured reporting and performance data to see where cost, risk and improvement opportunities sit.

Why Alexander Group

When in-house fleet ops are becoming the handbrake

Owning and operating a freight network can create control. But as the business changes, the model that once worked can become costly, rigid and hard to manage.

Volumes shift. Routes become more complex. Equipment ages. Compliance demands increase. Drivers become harder to recruit and retain. Production and customer teams still expect reliable service every day.

The network may still function, but that does not mean it is performing as well as it should.

Alexander Group can review the network, identify where cost and capacity are being lost, and determine whether redesign, partial outsourcing or a fully managed fleet would deliver a better result.

Our approach

A better freight model starts by considering the whole network

An underperforming freight network usually has more than one problem. The real opportunity comes from looking at fleet, routes, people, scheduling, cost and service together.

Misused Capacity

Assets run below capacity, return empty or are poorly matched to actual freight volumes. You're sending the Class 7 Kenworth and curtainsider in to move a few pallets.
Struggling to meet demand

The network carries too much fixed capacity in quiet periods, then struggles to meet seasonal or peak demand.
Rising fleet ownership costs

Maintenance, replacement, and downtime continue to increase as equipment ages. Rather than being labelled as assets, it's starting to feel like your gear belongs on the liabilities side of the balance sheet.
Limited cost visibility

The total cost of freight is rising, but the business cannot clearly see the true cost of any given route, load, delivery or service commitment.
Driver and scheduling pressure

Driver shortages, overtime, manual workarounds and reliance on key individuals make the operation harder to control.
If any of this sounds familiar, we need to talk.

We've tackled these challenges across the country, in industries as diverse as frozen foods and volatile gases. We can help.
