You don’t need more revenue. You need more profit. 🚛💰
A lot of trucking company owners think that staying busy means making money.
More loads.
More miles.
More trucks.
More revenue.
But revenue is not profit.
You can run a busy trucking business and still have very little money left at the end of the month.
The real numbers you need to know are:
• Cost per mile
• Fuel cost
• Driver cost
• Maintenance & repairs
• Insurance
• Truck payments
• Deadhead miles
• Revenue per mile
• Profit per load
The goal isn’t to keep your trucks moving 24/7.
The goal is to make every mile profitable.
A profitable trucking company knows its numbers before taking the next load.
If you own a trucking company, ask yourself:
Do you know exactly how much profit you make per mile?
