So when you think about, it’s better and more efficient to eliminate and lower as many trucking expenses as possible, than it is to focus on adding business. I know you need revenue too, but don’t take more on your plate than you can handle!
Fixed vs. Variable Trucking Expenses
Keep in mind though, that some things cannot be changed. There are trucking expenses where you can reduce and save, but also there are things on which you just can’t cut and they remain same or pretty much the same the entire time.
Some of the fixed trucking expenses that remain static and stay pretty much constant on monthly bases are:
- Truck insurance;
- Health insurance;
- Truck payments;
- Permits;
- Cellphone/internet.
Of course these trucking expenses can slightly change, but most of the time they stay same month after month.
