Score every stop, not just every truck.

For 3PLs, regional carriers, and last-mile operators. Score every lane and every stop by margin contribution, route capacity by real cost-to-serve, and price contracts against the live network — before signing volume commits.

What breaks at scale

Top-line growth, bottom-line drift.

Logistics operators win on volume; lose on lanes. Average margin-per-mile masks loss-making stops, contracts that lock in below-market rates, and warehouse turns that erode pick-pack economics over a quarter.

§ Lanes

Average margin hides the leaks

Some lanes carry the network; others bleed into them. Allometry scores each lane and stop against actual delivered cost, not blended P&L averages.

§ Contracts

Volume commits priced on yesterday

Fuel, driver wages, and dock turnover move weekly. Allometry builds quote pricing against live cost feeds — with margin guardrails baked into the contract template.

§ Warehouse

Pick-pack margin drifts unseen

SKU velocity, slot density, and turnover drive cost-to-serve. Allometry surfaces accounts and SKUs where pick-pack is unprofitable — with rate-card recommendations.

Where the margin lives

A lane book, scored lane by lane.

A 320-lane truckload book is not one number. It is 320 different unit economics — and most operators can only see the blended margin. Allometry scores each lane against live diesel, empty-miles ratio, dock-door turn, and driver retention — so the bottom decile gets repriced or walked.

Top-line revenue keeps growing while contribution margin per pallet-mile silently slides. The CFO knows. The lane manager doesn't. By the time the spot-market correction lands, the bottom decile has already burned 2 quarters.

Allometry pulls live diesel (EIA), broker rates (DAT), HOS data, and dock turn telemetry into every lane — and reprices contribution daily. The 6 levers on the right are what an ops review actually pivots on.
