Fuel waste assessment
Find out which trucks are burning your money
A fuel waste assessment built from 12 months of your own telematics data: how much is recoverable, where it goes, and the 10 trucks to fix first.
CA$500 for the report. Review call available separately.
What could your fleet recover?
Type in your fleet and your annual fuel. The estimate uses what fleets on CleanFreight actually recover; your report will use your own data.
What other fleets found
Six real fleets from our fuel assessments: what idling and the fuel-economy gap were costing them at this week's diesel price, and how far their fuel economy slipped during the year.
11-truck dry van fleet

91-truck LTL fleet
general freight
- Idling above target
- $505,000a year
- Fuel-economy gap
- Fuel economy slipped
- 9%
Idling 59% of engine time · about $5,500 per truck
Too few LTL fleets assessed yet to compare. Your report compares your trucks with each other.
2.75 → 2.49 km/L, best 3 months to worst
166-truck refrigerated fleet
food and grocery
- Idling above target
- $604,000a year
- Fuel-economy gap to the best refrigerated fleets
- $1,176,000a year
- Fuel economy slipped
- 12%
Idling 49% of engine time · about $3,600 per truck
2.82 → 2.47 km/L, best 3 months to worst
Real fleets from Clean Freight fuel assessments, 12 months of data each, names withheld, priced at this week's diesel price. Idling: hours above a 30% idle target at 4 litres an hour. Fuel-economy gap: the fuel saved at the fuel economy of the best quarter of assessed fleets of the same type. Slip: the fleet's fuel economy in its best 3 months against its worst. The amounts overlap, so they are not added together. Your report goes truck by truck: which trucks are slipping, and which pairs of trucks should swap work.
What you get
- How many dollars a year of fuel your fleet can recover, from 12 months of your own data
- Where the money is: excess idling versus the fuel-economy gap between your trucks
- The 10 trucks to look at first, with plain-language reasons, and your 5 best trucks
- Trucks whose fuel economy is getting worse against their own record (likely mechanical or driver issues), and what it is costing
- Month-by-month fuel economy and idle share, and how you compare with assessed fleets of your type
- How it was worked out: the method and the settings used, in plain language
Your report: a 4 to 6 page PDF
Short enough to read in one sitting, in plain language, with your own trucks named. Length depends on your fleet.

- •Read-only access: we only read trip, fuel and engine data and never change anything in your system.
- •Remove our access the moment your report is done.
- •Your fleet data is stored in Canada and deleted within 30 days of closing your assessment, unless you join the platform.
What the report looks like
Your fleet at a glance
52 weeks of data, shown per year.
Where the money is
Each part is counted once: idle fuel is taken out before fuel economy is compared.
The trucks to look at first
Together $54,100 a year, 25% of everything recoverable. The reason is under each truck.
… and 7 more trucks.
The 2 trucks getting worse: mechanical or driver issues to check
Fuel economy that has slipped against each truck's own record for 2 months or more, after allowing for the season. Common causes: tire pressure, filters, injectors, a dragging brake, or a change of driver or route.
Then your 5 best trucks and what they do right.
Month by month
Fuel economy and idle share of engine time. Winter months normally use more fuel and idle more.
Your report uses your own telematics data and names your own trucks. It also shows how you compare with assessed fleets of your type, same months of the year, and how every figure was worked out.

Common questions
Who is the assessment for?
Trucking fleets that already run telematics and want a straight answer about fuel: how much is being wasted, where, and which trucks to look at first. It works for fleets from a handful of trucks to several hundred.
What access do you need?
Read-only access to your telematics data: fuel, distance, idle time and engine hours per truck. Nothing is installed, nothing in your telematics is changed, and nothing is connected or stored until you have paid and created your account.
Is our data safe?
Nothing is connected or stored until you have paid. Read-only access: we only read trip, fuel and engine data and never change anything in your system. Remove our access the moment your report is done. Your fleet data is stored in Canada and deleted within 30 days of closing your assessment, unless you join the platform.
Which telematics systems work?
Samsara, Geotab, Motive and ISAAC connect directly. Any other system works if you can export its vehicle performance reports; you upload them and we read them.
How long does it take?
Loading 12 months of history takes minutes to an hour, depending on your provider. We email you when the report is ready. If you want to walk through it with us, a 30-minute review call can be booked separately.
Is a review call included?
No. The price covers the report. A 30-minute review call with Clean Freight Consultants, where we walk through your report, answer questions and point out what to do first, is available separately once your report is ready.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final. No refunds.
Does the assessment count toward the CleanFreight platform?
Yes. Subscribe to the CleanFreight platform within 30 days of your report and CA$100 of your assessment comes off your first platform invoice. The credit is applied when you subscribe; it is not paid out in cash.
What happens to our data afterwards?
You can close the account whenever you like. We remove your telematics credentials immediately when you do, and your data is deleted within 30 days, unless you join the platform.
