When to Add Your Next Truck
Add a truck when your current fleet consistently operates above 80% utilization AND you're declining 3+ jobs per week. Adding a truck before you have the demand creates fixed costs without revenue to cover them.
Revenue Per Truck Benchmarks
A single 16ft box truck running 3.5 jobs/day at $375 average generates roughly $23,000/month at 80% utilization. Two trucks: $46,000. Three trucks: $69,000. These are realistic, not maximum, targets.
