FAQs
Q: Why do I need a cost-per-mile analysis?
A: It helps you understand your breakeven point, make better pricing decisions, and avoid running unprofitable loads.
Q: Can I really save on fuel with a different card?
A: Absolutely. Many fleets overpay by 20–40 cents per gallon. We help you compare cards based on your routes and volume.
Q: Do you help with taxes?
A: We work with trusted tax partners who specialize in trucking and can help maximize deductions and plan for quarterly payments.
Q: Will you look at my vendor and shop expenses?
A: Yes. We review all repair, tire, towing, and maintenance costs to spot overcharges and negotiate better deals.
Q: I already have a bookkeeper — do I still need this?
A: Yes. Bookkeepers track what’s happening. We analyze why it’s happening — and show you how to fix it.
