Yeah, I did the analysis, way before AI for a trucking company I am invested in (never paid me a fucking dime in dividends). They were using kwhoppers and the maintanence cost was through the roof. I said, lets start conversations with Volvo, let them lease the units, no depreciation, full write off, and they take care of all maintanence. They ran with it and did it. About 2m a year saved. Then I was like, where do we buy fuel? Duh at the fucking gas station. Dipshits. So I hooked them up with a fleet fuel service (knew the CEO from another investment I was in - failed horriably fuck that shit). He signed the deal to get Fleet Fuel Prices with like the fuelman network. I wanted to spend the 30k to have 20,0000 gal on site at our depot.....that would pay for itself in 27 months....but no our CEO at the time didn't think it was a good idea, all nonsesne of the risks (fire, H&S, etc) but having it delivered by semi, to our own depot was the gold mine savings.....fucking retards. That was 10 years ago.....we'd have been profitable in just 4 years....still I aint seen a check.
I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for checks. I mean, especially if they're sending it in the mail...you'll never get the damn thing.
Spent actual time, not AI time developing a implementation plan and qualifying all the leading software packages. One was good. Dole use the other not so go. Primaries wanted to go with what Dole used, ok, negioated the costing, all the licensing across 5 years. Gave them the contract. "We changed our minds, we arent doing it" Then 4 years later the USDA forced them to start doing what I had spec'd to implement 4 years prior. Fuck has it been longer than 10 years? just looked march of 2015. When money worse worth more.
