Field notes on fleet emissions, fuel, and the freight transition
Long-form takes from the team building CleanFreight — telematics integration patterns, baseline methodology, customer wins, and what's coming next.
How to Use CleanFreight to Save Money
Learn how trucking fleets can find fuel waste using existing telematics data by identifying idle waste, non-idle fuel loss, high-consumption vehicles, efficiency drift, and recoverable savings.

How much fuel does idling cost a fleet? Real numbers from six fleets
Six real fleets, from 11 to 166 trucks, and what their idling above a 30% target costs in fuel each year: from about $51,000 to $604,000.
What a fleet fuel waste assessment shows (and how it works)
A step-by-step look at the Fleet Fuel Waste Assessment: what you do, what the report shows, how your data is handled, and how fast it arrives.
Where your fleet's fuel money is really going
Most fleet fuel waste comes from two places: idling above a sensible target, and the gap between trucks doing the same work. Here is how to see both.
How to Connect Motive, Geotab, ISAAC & Samsara to CleanFreight
Step-by-step video guides for connecting Motive, Geotab, ISAAC, and Samsara telematics data to CleanFreight — plus help for any other provider.
Fleet Fuel Efficiency & Fleet Intelligence Course
Learn how to identify fuel waste, inefficient trucks, excessive idling, maintenance issues and fleet emissions using your existing telematics data with CleanFreight.
Lesson 1: How to Find Fuel Waste in a Truck Fleet
Learn how fleet intelligence can identify recoverable fuel costs, inefficient trucks and opportunities to improve fuel economy using existing telematics data.
Lesson 2: Find Trucks That Are Costing You Money
Learn how to prioritize inefficient trucks, excessive idling and recoverable fuel costs using CleanFreight's fleet Action Command Centre.
Lesson 3: Identify Inefficient Trucks and Excessive Idling
Find inefficient trucks, excessive idling and vehicle-level fuel waste by comparing truck performance using your fleet's existing telematics data.
Lesson 4: Improve Maintenance and Dispatch Decisions
Learn how fleet performance data can reveal maintenance issues, operational anomalies and dispatch opportunities before they become larger costs.
Lesson 5: Fleet KPIs Every Fleet Manager Should Monitor
Fleet KPIs & Metrics Every Fleet Manager Should Monitor
Lesson 6: Track Fleet Emissions Automatically Using Telematics Data
Track fleet fuel emissions, CO2 performance and sustainability metrics using existing telematics data without building manual emissions spreadsheets.
Fleet Intelligence Course Complete
Complete the CleanFreight Fleet Intelligence Course and learn how to identify fuel waste, inefficient trucks, excessive idling, maintenance opportunities and fleet emissions using existing telematics data.
How Trucking Fleets Can Reduce Diesel Costs
Learn how trucking fleets can reduce diesel costs by using existing telematics data to identify idle waste, non-idle fuel waste, underperforming trucks, and recoverable savings.
How CleanFreight Turns Telematics Data Into Fleet Fuel Savings
CleanFreight sits on top of telematics systems like Samsara, Motive, Geotab, and ISAAC to identify fuel waste, recoverable savings, asset performance gaps, and Scope 1 emissions opportunities.
What We Learned From 160+ Fleet Energy Assessments
After supporting more than 160 fleet energy assessments, CleanFreight found that most trucking fleets already have the data needed to identify fuel waste, recover savings, and track emissions.
The Fuel Savings Already Hiding in Your Fleet
A predictable 3% to 8% of fleet fuel spend is recoverable waste — hiding in idle time, inefficient assets, and efficiency drift. Here is where it hides, and a calculator to size yours.
