Profit, made simple.

Every job pays you. That's money coming in.

Say your dump truck works one full day. It runs 8 hours, and the job pays $125 an hour.

Some jobs pay by the ton or by the load instead of by the hour. It's still money in. Just add up what the job paid.

But the truck doesn't run for free.

Before you keep a dime, some of that $1,000 has to go back out. Tap each one to see why.

Money in, minus money out, is what you keep.

Here's the whole day as one bar. Each color is where a piece of the $1,000 went.

Out of every $1 that comes in, how much do you keep?

Some bills come even when the truck sits still.

Fuel only costs you when the truck runs. But the truck payment and insurance show up every month, rain or shine.

Say those two bills add up to $4,000 a month. Your truck earns $125 an hour, but fuel and the driver take about $62 of that. So each hour leaves about $63 to pay the bills.

Rained out for a week? Those bills still come. Knowing your break-even hours tells you how much slow time you can handle.

Which job would you take?

Two jobs, same truck. Fuel and driver pay cost you about $62 for every hour the truck runs. Tap the job you think keeps more money.

Slide in your own numbers.

Guesses are fine. Watch what happens to the gold number as you move things around.

This is a simple estimate for learning. Your real numbers depend on every job and receipt, which is exactly what 10-4 Hauler tracks for you.

Three questions. You've got this.

Now picture this math done for you, for every job, every day.

You just learned what most truck owners never stop to figure out. 10-4 Hauler does all of it for you, automatically, for every truck.
