Our Story

With 25+ years leading $500M transportation operations across the U.S. and Canada, we help private and mid-size fleets cut costs, boost efficiency, and run like the industry’s best. From compliance and safety to asset optimization and KPI-driven decision-making, our mission is to bring Fortune 500-level systems to your fleet without the overhead.

​​

Fleet Optimization Partners was founded with one mission... to help private and mid-size fleets operate with the precision, efficiency, and profitability of the largest transportation companies in the world. After more than 15 years leading $300M transportation operations across the U.S. and Canada, I saw a gap: most fleets were drowning in day-to-day challenges, wearing too many hats, and missing the systems that could make their business truly thrive.

​

Our team brings Fortune 500 experience to your operation without the corporate bloat. We specialize in compliance and safety, cost reduction, asset lifecycle management, performance metrics, and AI-driven process automation. Whether you’re managing 5 trucks or 500, we give you the strategies, tools, and training to scale sustainably and profitably.

​

What makes us different? We’ve been in your seat. We know the pressure of keeping trucks on the road, controlling costs, and meeting demanding delivery schedules because we’ve done it. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter consulting. Every solution we deliver is customized to your operation, your people, and your goals. Our success is measured in your results: safer fleets, lower costs, happier drivers, and more profitable operations.
