Fuel savings for your trucking business
Trucking brings remarkable value to the U.S. economy. According to the American Trucking Association, trucking generated over $940.8 billion in gross freight revenues in 2022. As a trucking business owner, generating enough revenue to keep your doors open is more likely what you’re focused on, however. As an owner-operator you’re operating your own trucks and hauling freight for a variety of clients of all sizes. This is on top of managing a business. You handle a wide range of tasks. You’re also a critical piece of the trucking industry and the U.S. economy as a whole. Although it can be a rewarding career, it’s not always easy nor is it inexpensive. The biggest expense you face as an owner-operator is likely fuel costs, with most trucking businesses spending between 25-30% of their revenue on fuel.
