Deadhead Predictor · Cost Control
AI calculates empty distance, fuel burn, RPM and lane quality — helping dispatchers avoid bad loads and choose profitable alternatives.
Minimizes wasted miles and improves profit across your fleet.
Truck #402 is 68 miles away from pickup.
Estimated fuel spend: $37.40 for deadhead.
Found closer load: 22-mile pickup with better RPM.
How Deadhead Predictor works
Instead of guessing if a load is “good enough”, DispatcherPro runs a full cost preview using your real trucks, GPS and lane history.
System pulls the live location of each truck and checks which units are realistically available for the load.
AI measures empty miles to pickup and combines it with fuel price and MPG model for each truck.
Load gets a simple “Good / Okay / Avoid” score, plus suggestions for closer, higher-RPM options.
Performance impact
DispatcherPro turns raw GPS data into an easy performance overview: how many loads, how much deadhead removed, and how RPM is trending.
Why fleets enable Deadhead Predictor
Keep running familiar lanes, but avoid the “cheap deadhead” loads that quietly destroy RPM.
Instead of opening maps, fuel apps and spreadsheets, dispatchers see cost, RPM and score in one place.
Reducing empty miles also reduces emissions — great for shippers, contracts and brand positioning.
