Know Everything About Your Cost-Per-Mile

Many Factors Impact It

Your company’s success depends in large part on how efficiently drivers move loads around your neighborhood or across the country. You already know it can be incredibly complex and will only get more challenging as you expand into new markets. That’s why you’re here reading this now.

The recent shortages of goods due to worldwide transportation challenges was a wakeup call. When the lifeblood of your business relies on deliveries—using in-house drivers or outsourced truckers—keeping that pipeline efficient and cost-effective is a top priority.

A chief part of our analysis of your trucking and transportation operations is evaluating your cost to do business. Determining this key expense involves many factors that impact your ability to effectively measure and manage it.
