Big loads with a big paycheck don’t always make you the most money Sometimes shorter loads are more profitable

That means in choosing the wrong one you set fire to hundreds (or even thousands) of dollars

But to choose profitable loads you NEED to know the true costs in your business

You need to know - mile-by-mile - how much it will cost to run your truck You need to know - whether you are running or sitting - how much it costs every day

And you need all of this, constantly Adding up all of the numbers, every single week

This is a lot of work, especially if you aren’t using the right system

After all, being on the road inevitably results in dozens of lost receipts - and you pay for it at tax time.

Keeping an eye on your bottom line is tough even under perfect conditions

It’s worse when you have a stack of receipts from all over the country to go through… and it’s almost impossible when you throw in being on the road at the time! That’s why it’s so hard to keep up with your books It isn’t just a pain at tax time, it’s a pain all year

When you fall behind, your books become a monster

So you put them off - but then they just build up until you have no idea whether your costs per mile are even close any more

Are you still making money on those loads? You don’t really know - and waiting to sort it out just makes things worse

You’re left making a mad dash at tax time, crunching numbers and hoping you don’t get audited… But your lack of organization means the tax man gets more than his share and you are left feeling helpless

It’s easy to slip up when you’re trying to think back to month-old conversations and purchases

It’s easy to get taken advantage of when you don’t know your numbers

It feels like you’re doing everything you can, yet still falling short

But it doesn’t have to be this way There’s something’s wrong with this picture

You need software geared toward a trucking business.

The truth is trucking businesses like yours need to track things differently… the success of your business is centered around your costs per mile

No other industry works like that, which is why 99% of accounting software just gets in the way

Programs like Quickbooks and Quicken don’t take mileage into account In fact, most software doesn’t work on a per mile basis

With these types of programs you also can’t access your info from anywhere, making life on the road even more stressful

This just makes it harder for you to figure out how much money you’re really making

It feels like your only option is to do everything yourself by battling spreadsheets, or back of the napkin calculations, or even worse… guessing

That’s no way to run a business

You care about knowing your true cost per mile more than anything else.
