Trucking Industry Fixed Costs
As said fixed cost present one side of the total cost any trucking company generates and they are the one that can be equally dangerous as variable. The most important features is just like they name says that they are fixed and can’t be avoided or postponed.
No matter how big or how small your trucking business is they are always the same. If you expand your business or create more revenue they are still the same. We could say that they are a minimum cost any trucking company can have in order to operate on the market.
They are very hard to reduce, I would say even impossible and for that reason they require a very careful approach but not at the end – on the beginning when creating or generating them. I mean that when you start your trucking company you should be very careful when choosing to buy equipment, hire people or rent the office because all these things represent fixed costs.
