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 โ but profit is what keeps your business alive.
When I book loads, I always check these 5 things:
โ
Rate Per Mile
โ
Fuel Cost
โ
Deadhead Miles
โ
Delivery Time
โ
Real Profit (after ALL expenses)
If a load doesnโt hit my profit target after expenses โ I donโt take it. Period.
I created a simple checklist you can use every time youโre evaluating loads so you stop guessing and start booking smarter.
