Delays at shippers or receivers can cost your fleet both time and money.

By implementing proper compensation strategies, you can reduce financial strain and improve driver satisfaction. TAFS offers insights to help decision-makers establish fair detention pay policies that benefit both your fleet and your drivers.

Freight accessorial charges can significantly affect your fleet's profitability.

Step 9: Cold calling, knocking on doors, meeting with folks face-to-face—the hustle you put in now can pay o big dividends down the road. Because shippers are just as eager to work directly with carriers and reduce their costs as you are to work with them and boost your margins; they just need confidence in your ability to deliver. And by the time you’ve grown to ve or 10 trucks, you’ll have a good story to tell. This is where the money is. When you’re not hauling 100% brokered freight, you’ll boost the savings you need for your next stage of growth more quickly.

Step 8: It can cost $20-25K to insure a single truck. But when your fleet grows to five or 10 trucks, you can cut your cost of insurance per unit by half or more—provided you’ve got a good safety record. So, consult with your insurance company early. They’ll help you establish the safety standards you need to get your best insurance rates—three years accident-free, no speeding, and a top-rated ELD platform, for example. Then, you can monitor driver performance and deliver the training necessary to bring down your insurance expenses.

Step 6: Compliance is critical to keeping your trucks and drivers on the road. Get shut down by the FMCSA, and you’ll have nothing coming in but bills. As you grow, then, it will be critical to nd an ELD system that’s scalable, and that allows you to access all of that data from a single dashboard—especially when you hit that 10-truck mark. While it’s an added cost, we often recommend that small, growing fleets, like yours, engage a third-party fleet compliance service. Offloading some of your operations manager’s labor and ensuring your I’s are dotted and T's crossed can often be a business and budget-smart decision.
