Do your trucking management software statistics help you or bother you?  Do you even look at your trucking management software statistics? 

Does your trucking software even produce any stats for you? 

You can’t improve if you can’t measure.  People who study industry have been saying this for 100 years.  But trucking doesn’t have many obvious metrics that apply across the different types of trucking businesses.  How do you compare a cross-country long-distance trucking company with one that handles drayage, moving freight from one transportation system to another?

And the width of the numbers that trucking companies have to consider!  We are paid per mile, but we pay many of our expenses per month (like loan payments) or semi-annually (like insurance coverage.)  How do you do that math?

If your trucking software isn’t computing all those numbers together, then you’re not going to get an accurate picture of how your company is doing.  Trucker stats are the single best way to assess your trucking company.  But most trucking company software systems don’t provide you with a complete picture.

Most trucking management software statistics aren’t narrow enough to give an owner operator a good idea of what’s going on in their trucking company.  Revenue per load?  Well, that’s not hard.  It’s what you were paid for the load.  But what about revenue per month?  How else can you be sure that you’re making enough money per month to cover all of the monthly expenses?  Expenses per load?  Easy.  But what if you looked at expenses for the year instead?  You might find some recurring problems that otherwise would slide under the radar.

These conversions can be complicated mathematically.  Especially if you want to change the date range of the computation, or maybe consider just certain equipment, not the entire fleet then essentially, you have to start the problem all over again.

And isn’t that why computers were invented, anyway?  To make the math simpler?  Give the computer all the data and it can slice and dice it and put it back together in the way we need it.  

What if your trucking business software isn’t programmed to do that?  What if you decide you need to know these numbers and your computer software for your trucking business can’t do it for you?

As we like to say around here:  TruckingOffice makes it easy.

We have already programmed these complicated formulas into our trucking management software.  Statistics are available at the touch of a button.

You don’t have to re-enter any data.  All the information from every dispatch is already in the system.  As you add your expenses – maintenance, on-the-road fees, taxes – the program has the data it needs to compute any Trucker Stat™ from our menu in less than a minute.
