Before you buy the truck · page 9
A truck payment is easy to find. A complete cost of entering the business takes more work. Before you choose equipment, describe the freight you intend to carry, the places you intend to operate and the people who might actually buy that service. The equipment should follow that description. Buying first can leave you trying to make a freight plan fit a truck that was available at a good price.
Find out what the whole trip leaves · page 15
A load pays for a movement. Your business pays for everything required to perform it. The quoted loaded rate leaves out the empty trip to pickup, the time at the dock, the route after delivery and the days before the invoice turns into cash. Put those parts back into the decision.
Stop delivering loads that cannot be billed cleanly · page 36
Delivery finishes the movement. It begins the final work needed to collect. A missing signature, an unreadable POD or a mismatch between the invoice and the rate confirmation can hold money that the business has already spent.
