Decision matrix

Use the table to decide what to instrument first and what not to mix in the same KPI.

Efficiency

Data: km / L or L/100 km

Useful alert: Deviation vs route baseline

Do not confuse with: Viral national target

Load

Data: Liters on card/sensor

Useful alert: Load with no km / off geofence

Do not confuse with: Rate FSC

Route

Data: GPS km

Useful alert: Empty km or deviation

Do not confuse with: Manual odometer only

How it applies on Mexico–U.S. lanes

On corridors like Monterrey–Laredo or Bajío–border, GPS jamming, DC appointments, and fiscal trip evidence condition any board. Bind the signal to the trip file (POD, CFDI/Carta Porte when applicable) before celebrating a %.

OCL and the trip file

OCL administers own fleet and workshops. It binds evidence to the trip, agents operate portals, and your team enters on exceptions. It can stamp invoice and Carta Porte when applicable. Pilot 6–8 weeks; 5–7% pattern when auditing 100% of third-party freight.

Key takeaways5 points
  1. Auditing liters vs kilometers (and geofence) on your own fleet. It is not the FSC line on a third-party carrier invoice.
  2. Freeze definition, units, and owner in writing before fighting the board.
  3. Bind it to trip/unit ID and evidence (GPS, POD, shop).
  4. Calibrate 2026 ranges to your fleet — do not copy viral targets.
  5. OCL administers own fleet and workshops: trip file + exceptions; dynamic last-mile routing; your team decides.

Does your control have an owner — or only a chart?

Bind it to the trip file on a pilot corridor OCL runs fleet/workshops and escalates exceptions.
