Revenue per loaded mile, deadhead, detention, driver pay ratios, and trucks that have to earn their own debt — trucking margins are won in decimals. We build the per-truck P&L, the factoring-aware cash engine, and the dials that catch the leaks between settlements.
The revenue shows on the settlement; the empty miles and dock hours don't. Uncaptured accessorials are a five-figure annual leak on even a small fleet.
Growth means trucks, trucks mean debt — and almost nobody models the month a new truck actually pays itself back, under real utilization.
Recruiting pressure moves pay; rates don't follow. Two points of driver-pay ratio is often the entire year's profit.
Fast cash costs real points. Whether it's worth it is a modelable question — that mostly goes unmodeled.
Every engagement starts by wiring these to your reality — your data, your definitions, posted live. If a dial doesn't change a decision, it doesn't make the wall.
The dials are the standard for the industry — the thresholds, targets, and drill-downs are designed around how your operation actually makes money.
Each one plays as a two-minute film — the same build we'd run on your numbers.
A per-truck P&L and a fleet-expansion consequence chain — see the payback month before the down payment.
Watch the build →A 13-week, factoring-aware cash engine — know what speed costs and when you can stop paying for it.
Watch the build →Lane contribution, deadhead, detention capture, and per-truck dials — live from settlements, not quarter-old spreadsheets.
Watch the build →Fleets price on OR, contract mix, and equipment reality. Know the defensible number before a buyer or a bank names one.
Watch the build →Two lanes ran below all-in cost per mile; detention went 60% uncaptured; the factoring line quietly cost more than the truck notes.
Per-truck economics, lane contribution, a timed cash engine, and dials on the four numbers that decide the year.
The losing lanes got repriced or dropped, detention capture doubled, and the next two trucks were bought against a payback month — not a feeling.
