Efficiency & Cost Reduction Tips
- 01Schedule deliveries to avoid peak traffic windows — early morning drops cut turnaround time by up to 25% on urban routes.
- 02Maximise truck utilisation: a truck loaded to 95% capacity is more cost-effective than two trucks at 60%. Use the load bar above to confirm.
- 03Order in full-truck-load multiples wherever practical to eliminate partial loads and reduce per-tonne haulage cost.
- 04RAP (Recycled Asphalt Pavement) can reduce material cost by 15–30% for non-structural layers while maintaining compliant performance.
- 05Pre-heating the receiving area in cold climates reduces compaction time and improves density, cutting rework cost significantly.
- 06Select a plant within 25 km of the job site where possible — beyond this, temperature drop risk and fuel cost rise steeply for HMA.
- 07Consolidate small orders: batching two nearby projects into a single delivery schedule can save 10–20% on fleet dispatch cost.
