In the highly competitive transportation and logistics industry, efficiency and profitability hinge on one crucial metric: cost per mile (CPM). Whether you operate a trucking business, manage a fleet, or run a delivery service, understanding your CPM is key to making informed financial decisions.
Why Cost Per Mile Matters
Cost per mile represents the total expenses incurred for each mile traveled. This figure includes fuel costs, maintenance, insurance, driver wages, tolls, and other operational expenses. By accurately calculating your CPM, you can:
- Set Profitable Rates – Knowing your costs ensures that you charge rates that cover expenses and generate profit.
- Improve Budgeting – Track where your money is going and identify areas for savings.
- Enhance Efficiency – Optimize routes, reduce idle time, and maximize fuel efficiency.
- Make Smarter Business Decisions – Data-driven insights help you scale effectively and remain competitive.
