One of the biggest mistakes I see new trucking business owners make is booking loads based only on the gross pay.
Revenue looks good on paper β but profit is what keeps your business alive.
When I book loads, I always check these 5 things:
β
Rate Per Mile
β
Fuel Cost
β
Deadhead Miles
β
Delivery Time
β
Real Profit (after ALL expenses)
If a load doesnβt hit my profit target after expenses β I donβt take it. Period.
I created a simple checklist you can use every time youβre evaluating loads so you stop guessing and start booking smarter.
