Introduction
FleetWatcher tracks real-time and historical job performance using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This article explains how KPIs work, how they’re calculated, and where to view them during and after a shift.
Navigation
KPIs are visible in multiple places:
Today’s Shifts – Real-time tracking for active shifts
Completed Shifts – Finalized performance data
Shift Editor Popups – Enter or adjust KPI targets
Scoreboards and Reports – Advanced benchmarking and analysis
Use This Report To:
Track first load and first dump timing
Monitor shift productivity in tons per hour
Understand trucking efficiency and cost
Compare crew vs. truck performance
View real-time metrics during active shifts
Core KPIs Defined
KPI | Description |
Tons per Hour (TpH) – Crew | Average tons dumped from Shift Start to current time (or Shift End) |
Tons per Hour (TpH) – Truck | Average tons dumped per truck from First Load to Last Dump |
Trucking Cost per Ton (TCpT) | Cost per ton based on truck hours and total tonnage |
First Load / First Dump | Timestamp-based KPIs tracking when work began |
Cycle Time | Average round-trip time from load to dump |
Feet per Minute (FpM) | Paving speed based on paver movement (mainline paving only) |

KPI Targets
KPI Targets can be set:
During shift creation (What section)
In the popup when activating from Scheduled Shifts
Using the Edit option on an active shift
If a KPI target is changed, the new value carries forward to the next shift activated in that job sequence.
Viewing KPI Definitions
On any shift card (Today’s or Completed):
Look for the blue info icon (ⓘ) in the bottom-right corner of the card, near the KPI metrics
Click the icon to open a popup explaining each KPI in detail
This is the fastest way to learn what a KPI means without leaving the shift view.

Color Coding
Color | Meaning |
🟢 Green | Target is met or exceeded |
🟡 Yellow | Performance is close to target |
🔴 Red | Target was missed |
KPI thresholds are configured in MMS Controls
Notes
KPIs update in real time for scale-integrated customers
At Source, At Destination, and Cycle Time KPIs are also calculated and shown for shifts that are not scale-integrated (fully unscaled shifts), as long as there is enough geozone and movement data for the shift
Shifts must have accurate Source, Destination, and timing to calculate properly
CMS shifts support both tons and cubic yards if configured with default load values
