What does Dedicated fleet mean in logistics?

Short answer

Trucks and drivers assigned exclusively to one shipper for an agreed period, usually on a fixed monthly charge plus a variable per-km or per-trip element.

Common in Indian FMCG, dairy, ice-cream and auto-component supply chains where daily volume is steady. The shipper gains guaranteed availability and branding; the key terms are minimum kilometres, utilisation, driver cost and diesel linkage. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
