Fuel & Fleet Cost Reduction

Every unnecessary truck roll costs $150–$300 in fuel, labor, and opportunity cost. A 50-tech shop making 10% avoidable rolls is burning $300K/year.

A Spaid engineer pulls 6–12 months of dispatch history, identifies the job types and assignment patterns generating the most avoidable rolls, and builds a dispatch intelligence layer that prevents wrong-part and wrong-tech arrivals before the truck leaves.

The Avoidable Truck Roll

Where the avoidable rolls come from.

Not all truck rolls are equal. The ones that cost you most aren't the long-distance jobs — they're the avoidable rolls: callbacks caused by the wrong diagnosis, same-day returns for missing parts, and second dispatch because the first assignment was a skill mismatch. All of them are in your FSM data.

Wrong-Part Returns

The most common avoidable roll is the same-day return for a missing part. Tech arrives, can't complete the job, returns to the warehouse, drives back. At $150–$300 per round trip, a 50-tech shop doing 10 of these per week is burning $75K–$150K/year. The parts history to prevent this is in your FSM.

$75K–$150K/year in same-day return costs

Callback Truck Rolls

Every callback is an avoidable truck roll. The call-back cost isn't just the re-dispatch — it's the original job cost plus the return trip plus the customer satisfaction hit. At $350–$600 fully loaded per callback, 50 callbacks/month is $17K–$30K in avoidable roll costs alone.

Skill-Mismatch Dispatch

Wrong-tech assignments generate both callbacks and low-close-rate jobs. A tech who isn't proficient on a commercial HVAC job type takes longer, resolves less, and calls back more — at full truck roll cost. Assignment by availability instead of skill-match is expensive and measurable.

Why Existing Solutions Fail

Route optimization vs. avoidable roll elimination.

Routing software minimizes drive time. Avoidable roll elimination addresses the root cause — wrong-part, wrong-tech, and incomplete-diagnosis rolls that routing can't prevent.

What you've tried before

Route optimization tools

Reduce mileage on planned routes. Don't address wrong-part arrivals, callback rolls, or skill-mismatch dispatching.

Fuel spend tracking

Shows you the bill. Doesn't identify which rolls were avoidable, which job types generate the most unnecessary mileage, or which dispatch patterns are the root cause.

Dispatcher route review

Optimizes geography under time pressure. Misses the skill-match and job-prep factors that generate the most avoidable rolls.

Driver behavior monitoring

Addresses idling, speeding, routing — marginal fuel savings. Doesn't address the structural dispatch patterns generating 5–10× higher roll costs.

What forward-deployed looks like

Dispatch intelligence identifies avoidable rolls from historical data

Which job types generate the most callbacks. Which tech assignments generate the most same-day returns. Where geographic clustering breaks down. From 6–12 months of FSM data.

Pre-job briefing reduces wrong-part arrivals

Parts checklist based on job type history surfaces before the truck rolls — the leading cause of same-day returns eliminated before dispatch.

FSM API connector analyzes which dispatch patterns generate the most mileage per dollar billed

Identifies which job-type and assignment combinations are least efficient — route optimization meets skill-match meets job-prep analysis.

Drift detection monitors truck roll efficiency metrics daily

Same-day return rate, callback roll rate, mileage per billed dollar — flagged when patterns are rising before they compound.

Engineer + Software

How the engineer and software reduce avoidable rolls.

Avoidable roll patterns from 6–12 months of history. Pre-job prevention before the truck leaves the yard.

Dispatch Intelligence

Avoidable roll patterns from 6–12 months

Analyzes which job types generate the most callbacks, which tech assignments produce the most same-day returns, and which routes generate the highest mileage-per-billed-dollar ratio. Identifies the highest-ROI avoidable roll categories before any process change.

Pre-Job Briefing Layer

Parts checklist before the truck leaves the yard

Surfaces recommended parts for the specific job type based on historical usage data — before dispatch. Reduces wrong-part arrivals: the leading source of same-day return rolls. Delivered via existing FSM job card, no new app for techs.

FSM API Connector

Dispatch efficiency analysis across all job patterns

Pulls dispatch records, mileage data, callback flags, and return trip logs from ServiceTitan, HCP, FieldEdge, or Jobber. Maps dispatch decisions to fuel, labor, and outcome costs. Identifies which combinations of job type, tech assignment, and route produce the highest avoidable roll rate.

Drift Detection Engine

Truck roll efficiency monitored daily

Monitors same-day return rate, callback roll rate, and dispatch efficiency metrics daily. Flags rising patterns before they compound. Identifies when a job type's avoidable roll rate is increasing — seasonal parts mismatch, new tech assignment patterns, or dispatch behavior shift.
