What each lorry actually earns
Transport contractor · mixed fleet — Customers who come back
The fleet was profitable overall, and nobody knew which vehicles were carrying the rest.
What was going wrong
Diesel, driver advances, tyres and repairs were booked as general expenses, never against the vehicle or the trip.
What changed
Costs are booked to the vehicle, so running cost per trip and per kilometre is visible, and a loss-making route can be repriced or dropped.
What it changed day to day
- Cost per vehicle: Known
- Loss-making routes: Repriced
- Driver advances: Settled against trips
