How to Calculate Revenue and Profit per Mile for Your Trucking Company

So, if you are a successful trucking company owner, I strongly believe that you have the answers to the following questions:

1. Do your trucks demand excessive repairs?
2. Do you have a record keeping system to track your vehicle maintenance?
3. Are you aware of the guidelines and regulations that mandate a truck to be placed out of service?
4. Is there a way for you to monitor how effective your preventative procedures actually are?
5. Have you adequately trained your truck drivers to detect maintenance needs?
