Bookkeeping for trucking companies: Why Every Trucker Needs to Know Their Cost Per Mile
Let’s be real for a second.
You’re running hard. Picking up loads. Dropping off freight. Watching the fuel gauge drop while your stress rises.
And even though the money looks good sometimes — something isn’t adding up.
You feel it in your gut.
And you’re right.
Because trucking without knowing your numbers is like hauling blind.
You’re not lazy. You’re not stupid.
You just were never taught how to break it all down. No one told you that $2/mile isn’t always enough.
And let’s be honest — most folks out here are faking it.
They flash checks and chrome and shout about $10K weeks, but behind the scenes? They’re stressed. Just like you.
I remember that confusion.
Back in 2014, I was Googling everything — how to start a trucking company, how to get broker training, how to price a load.
And you know what I found? Not much.
I had to learn the hard way.
We took loads we thought were profitable — and later realized we were working for free.
Everyone said, “Don’t haul for less than $2/mile.”
But what if your cost was $2.30/mile?
What if that advice was sending you straight into the red?
That’s when I knew I had to stop guessing. I started learning bookkeeping, studying numbers, and tracking every penny.
Because trucking isn’t just physical work — it’s mental warfare.
And I wasn’t going to lose.
So let me ask you something — do you actually know what it costs to run your truck?
Not what your dispatcher tells you.
Not what some guy on YouTube said.
Not what your buddy at the truck stop thinks.
Do YOU know?
What your truck eats in fuel per mile
What your insurance, payments, and repairs average out to
How much money you’re really making per load — after expenses
And what your minimum rate per mile should be to actually stay in business
If you don’t — that’s not your fault.
Nobody gave you a roadmap.
But it is your responsibility to stop driving blind.
This is the moment you get your power back.
