In order to analyze and understand new models and ideas for efficiency evaluation, this project was developed in partnership with a road cargo transportation company named Joiditrans, with the purpose of defining which metrics and indicators allow a company like this to survive in a competitive market sector such as the road transportation. Based on research that gathered valuable and essential information for the development of a complete literature review, it was defined essential concepts that made it possible to understand an existing problem in transportation companies and the different ways in which it is possible to create models for improving the business efficiency. This company-project made it possible to identify the various problems that the company has, because Joiditrans by failing to use effectively and correctly information from telematics systems, ends up causing flaws and defects in the analysis of performance indicators. This way, based on the literature review and the reality of the company, it was possible to observe and describe how the company is organized and how different techniques of heavy truck driving are applied. In this way, with all this data obtained and observed, it was identified what is being well done and what can be improved through a proposal for an implementation model of driving performance analysis and how the company can manage to control these performance indicators in the future to guarantee always the same operational efficiency.
