Carrier Business Modeling

KSM Transport Advisors’ Carrier Business Modeling assesses a carrier’s business model and capabilities to help determine if current operations and business strategies are realistic and will lead to profitable and sustainable performance. Carrier Business Modeling does not resolve every issue but is the first step in a comprehensive process to help carriers achieve their greatest profitability.

Creating a Roadmap to Success

Communication is key throughout the modeling process and KSMTA performs both onsite and offsite analysis. Our onsite analysis focuses on financial, structural, cultural, and systematic issues as well as operational and driver-related matters. The offsite review includes financial analysis, benchmarking, and review of the onsite findings and information provided.

We use this data to create a customized document that identifies the specific issues and challenges facing a carrier in its business model and overall operations and then develop a roadmap to address the carriers’ unique needs. Our observations and recommendations are actionable and specify task owner, timetable, and method or metric of measurement.

Carrier Business Modeling is a holistic process and often includes a combination of several KSMTA assessments, such as:

• FreightMath^™ Engineering
• Driver Recruiting & Retention Assessment
• Safety, Compliance, & Risk Assessment
• Technology Assessment
