and security infrastructure totals $1,410,000, but the business hits cash flow breakeven quickly in two months (February 2026) The seven strategies detailed here focus on maximizing asset utilization, optimizing fuel and insurance costs, and shifting the revenue mix toward high-margin consulting and long-term dedicated fleet contracts Focusing on these levers can increase EBITDA by over $4 million
