WEST DES MOINES, Iowa, February 29, 2024 – Ten5, Inc. a leading provider of trucking
communications and business intelligence solutions, is introducing TruckAnswers, a live
benchmarking and information service for trucking companies.
Fleets can use TruckAnswers to access near real-time data on trucking company operating
performance using a simple natural language query engine. Managers can compare their
own fleet’s performance to industry averages and make more informed management
decisions.
“TruckAnswers is designed to be the most accurate and relevant source of comparison data
for US truck fleets,” according to Ten5 CEO Drew Ryder. “Unlike typical benchmarking
studies which are completed at a point in time and are static until a new one is completed,
TruckAnswers is a live database which is constantly being updated with fleet data and
third-party data feeds.
“We improve relevancy by sorting data by fleet size and type and allowing fleets to
customize their queries so that they are measuring and comparing the factors that are most
important to them in their unique context.”
Ryder said TruckAnswers can be used by fleets needing to test new products and practices
and evaluate their value to the fleet’s bottom line. “By baselining and tracking key variable
costs more efficiently, they will have more confidence in the results and conclusions of the
trials. This would be valuable for equipment testing, safety technology testing, or
experiments with payment of bonuses and incentives. Shorter trials also save money.
“Our goal here is speed and efficiency. Fleets are drowning in data already and more is
coming. They need low-friction ways to access and analyze their data as well as the
confidence that the data is accurate and relevant.”
