The Three Signals That Say 'Go'
Operations ready: 80%+ utilization and bookings 4+ days out. Demand signal: Declining 3+ jobs per week due to capacity. Financial justification: Missed gross profit exceeds new truck fixed costs plus 25% safety buffer.
All three must align. Adding a truck when only one or two signals are present creates fixed costs without the revenue to cover them.
