Transportation & Logistics

If you don't know your cost per mile, every bid is a guess. We help you run the real numbers.

Know Your Cost Per Mile

Fuel. Maintenance. Tires. Insurance. Depreciation. Driver pay. Permits. That load you’re bidding on looks profitable at $2.80 a mile. But is it? What does it actually cost you to move that truck?

Most owner-operators and small fleet owners can’t answer that question with confidence. They have a rough number. A gut feel. Enough to know if something is obviously bad. Not enough to know if they’re slowly bleeding money on loads that look okay.

We help you calculate the real number. Then you can bid smart, walk away from bad freight, and stop wondering why there’s nothing left at the end of the month.

Fuel Changes Everything

Your biggest variable cost won’t sit still. Diesel is $3.20 one month and $4.10 the next. Your rate stays the same. Your margin doesn’t.

Some months fuel eats the profit. Some months it doesn’t. If you’re not tracking closely, you won’t know which until you’re already on the other side.

Fuel Tracking

Cost per gallon, miles per gallon, fuel cost per mile. Tracked by truck, by route, by driver if you want. You see where the money’s going.

Margin Visibility

What did you actually net on that load after fuel? We help you see it clearly so you can adjust rates or routes before it’s too late.

Trucks Eat Money

Rolling or parked, they cost. Payment or depreciation. Insurance that doesn’t care if the truck moved. Maintenance that adds up. Tires that wear out. A breakdown that kills a week.

The question isn’t whether your trucks cost money. It’s whether each one is earning more than it’s consuming. That answer should be obvious. For most small fleets, it isn’t.

Cost Per Truck

All-in cost for each unit. Fuel, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, repairs. You see which trucks are making money and which are dragging.

Maintenance Tracking

Scheduled and unscheduled. What’s coming up and what’s overdue. Preventive maintenance is cheaper than breakdowns. We help you stay ahead.

One Truck Became a Fleet

You started as an owner-operator. One truck, one driver, simple math. Then you added another. Then you hired someone. Now you’ve got dispatch and payroll and insurance renewals and DOT compliance and a back office that didn’t exist three years ago.

The business grew. The systems didn’t. You’re still tracking things the way you did with one truck, except now it doesn’t work.

Who We Work With

Trucking companies, moving companies, couriers, hotshot, NEMT, freight haulers, delivery services. One truck or twenty. We scale with you.

Driver Payroll

Hourly, per mile, per load, percentage. Different structures for different operations. We set it up correctly and run it on time.

Cash Flow Timing

You moved the freight last week. You’ll get paid in 45 days. We help you manage the gap so you’re not floating payroll on a credit card.

Monthly Bookkeeping

Books closed every month. Revenue, expenses, cost per mile. Real numbers so you can run the business instead of guessing at it.
