3 Reasons to understand your trucking expenses
Income does not equal profit
The amount of money you bring in every month is not the same thing as your take home earnings. To better understand what you’re earning, you first need to know how much it costs to run your business.
Sitting idle can be costly
It’s normal for the spot market to fluctuate. When RPMs are low, you’ll need to understand the minimum amount of money you need to earn each month to cover fixed expenses from insurance costs to parking fees.
Every dollar counts
Understanding your operating expenses can help you to evaluate areas where you can potentially save money.
