Determine the right number of vehicles for your delivery volume
Fleet Sizing Calculator
Estimate the optimal fleet size based on your daily delivery volume, service area, and operational constraints. Avoid overspending on excess vehicles or underserving customers with too few.
Why Fleet Sizing Matters
An undersized fleet leads to missed deliveries and unhappy customers. An oversized fleet wastes money on insurance, parking, maintenance, and depreciation. Right-sizing your fleet balances service quality with operational costs.
Key Factors in Fleet Planning
Effective fleet sizing considers daily delivery volume, geographic spread, delivery windows, vehicle capacity, driver availability, and seasonal demand patterns. Start with delivery count as the primary driver, then layer in constraints.
Planning for Growth
As your delivery volume grows, your fleet needs to scale accordingly. Review your fleet utilization monthly and plan vehicle additions 2-3 months ahead to account for procurement lead times and driver hiring.
Reducing Fleet Costs Without Cutting Vehicles
Before adding vehicles, optimize your existing fleet. Route optimization can increase deliveries per vehicle by 15-25%, effectively growing your capacity without the cost of new vehicles. Pathroute helps you get more from the fleet you already have.
