Now, there is a way or two where you can add to your profit. The most obvious are either by adding to your revenue stream through finding and adding new clients to haul for, or by reducing you’re overall trucking expenses.
So far the practice is showing that it is much easier, better, and smarter to reduce the trucking expenses and that way to add up to the revenue and increase profit, than it is to focus on adding new business.
When it comes to reducing trucking expenses, there are numerous ways to do that. Perhaps you can start using different driving techniques and improve your gas mileage. It might not look to you like a big saving on fuel at the beginning, but in the long run, can save you many bucks.
Since trucking expenses eat up almost 95% of your revenue, making that small improvement by saving on fuel is equivalent of adding $50,000 in revenue to your business!
