AI in Fleet Management:
A New Era for Fleet Transformation

We’re witnessing a pivotal shift in the transportation industry. AI in fleet management is no longer an experimental concept—it’s an essential competitive edge. With the cost of advanced AI dropping dramatically—from $20 per million tokens in 2022 to just $0.07 in 2024—there’s never been a better time to act.

In 2024 alone, U.S. companies invested $110 billion in AI. And yet, fleets and transportation operators remain behind. Although 9.1% of the workforce is in transportation, only 0.3% of AI queries come from the sector. That gap won’t last. It’s time to close it—with action.

Why AI Matters for Modern Fleets

AI is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It’s reshaping every part of the operation—from dispatch to maintenance, planning to compliance. But AI-powered TMS isn’t something you simply bolt onto an old system. Without a foundation that supports automation, real-time data, and scalable architecture, AI becomes another broken promise.

Must like painting a crumbling wall won’t prevent collapse, adding AI to legacy systems won’t improve outcomes.

Fleets must rethink people, processes, and platforms to stay relevant in the coming decade.

People, Processes, and Systems:
The Pillars of Fleet AI Readiness

On People

On People

Drivers today already use ELDs, tablets, and dashcams. But transformation only happens when organizations win the hearts and minds of their people—especially the frontline.

On Process

Historically, most of the ROI from new technologies comes from reorganizing processes. The same applies here. AI works best in streamlined, flexible operational environments.

On Systems

Most fleets today run on legacy TMS platforms—single-tenant, on-premise systems with clunky architecture, slow data speeds, and bolt-on integrations. These systems are not built for AI—and continuing to rely on them means falling further behind.

Legacy systems are draining fleet resources. Whether you’re using TMW, McLeod, or other “blue-chip” TMS software, chances are it was designed before the cloud and before AI.


These platforms were never built to support the data flow, speed, and automation required for modern AI logistics software. Spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and pen-and-paper workflows still dominate too many operations—and they’re holding fleets back.
