Level 2

Consolidation opportunity: 2 regional facilities could absorb 60% load at 72% capacity utilization

Level 1

Network design mismatch with demand patterns

Level 2

52% of orders require cross-facility transfers (vs 28% industry benchmark)

Level 2

Average transfer distance: 87 miles (vs optimal 35-45 miles for same-day)

Level 2

Rerouting via nearest regional hub could reduce transfers to 31% and save 4.2 days processing time

Main Branch

Level 1

Independent contractor economics misaligned with volume

Level 2

Contractor rates: $1.31/stop (fixed) regardless of actual density

Level 2

Attrition: 41% quarterly (vs 25% peer average) due to low density routes

Level 2

New contractor onboarding cost: $1,200 per contractor, reducing profitability for first 200 stops

Sharpen Your Judgment

Learn which questions are worth asking, which problems actually matter, and how to prioritize what to investigate first.
