The Levers We Pull

Six strategic pillars that drive organic growth across every account.

01

Boots-on-Ground AM

Dedicated account managers embedded with branch teams, building relationships face-to-face.

Why it works

Branch managers trust people they know. A familiar face gets the call before the spot market.

URSunbeltMWHNTS+1
02

AVRL Automation

AI-powered system with years of equipment rental knowledge. Understands true cost-to-carry and identifies arbitrage opportunities.

Why it works

Dual-pronged: (1) AI knows our true cost to carry, (2) Auto-bids on the bid board for predictable lanes.

03

Bid Participation Expansion

Increasing bid participation from 50% to 85%+ on available loads.

Why it works

You can't win loads you don't bid on. More bids = more wins = more share.

04

Branch Relationship Conversion

Inside sales 'Proactive Desk' monitors bid board. When we see a bid from a branch we have a relationship with but didn't get a call, our team calls them immediately.

Why it works

Every branch is a potential customer. Whitespace is just branches we haven't won yet.

05

OD/Heavy Haul Desk

Dedicated team focused solely on overdimensional and heavy haul freight. Endless potential across all accounts.

Why it works

Specialized expertise = higher margins. OD/heavy haul requires permits, route planning, and specialized carriers.

URSunbeltHercMWH+2
06

Canada Desk

Building out Canada experts to capture massive cross-border opportunity with current accounts.

Why it works

Huge whitespace in Canada with existing accounts. Requires customs expertise and Canadian carrier relationships.

Layer 3 — Whitespace

Two Paths to Growth

Branch penetration for AM-driven accounts. Bid board expansion for centralized accounts. Different levers, same result: more freight.

The Levers Compound Each Other

OD/Heavy Haul Desk: Specialized expertise wins branch relationships AND enables bidding on loads others can't touch.

Canada Desk: Establishes relationships with Canadian branches AND enables cross-border bid board participation.

AVRL: Better cost-to-carry understanding improves win rates on bid boards — making $39M a floor, not a ceiling.

Every lever we add compounds across both growth paths.
