The #1 Mistake Most Expediters Make

๐Ÿ’ฐ 5 minutes that can save you $500+ this week

And exactly how to fix it on your very next load

โฑ๏ธ 5 min read ๐ŸŸข Super easy ๐ŸŽฏ Quick Win

๐Ÿ’ฐ THE BRUTAL REALITY

Right now, you are probably losing $400-$600 a week without even realizing it.

It's not because of a lack of freight.
It's not because of bad rates.
It's simply because of a calculation mistake that 90% of expediters make.

โŒ THE MISTAKE

You are calculating your RPM like this:

Example:

  • Load pays: $1,200
  • Loaded miles: 800
  • RPM: $1,200 รท 800 = $1.50/mile

"$1.50/mile! Awesome, I'll take it."

๐Ÿ” WHAT YOU'RE FORGETTING

The miles you DON'T get paid for, but STILL cost you money:

  1. DEADHEAD (miles to drive to the pickup)
    Your spot โ†’ Pickup = 120 miles
  2. REPOSITIONING (miles after delivery)
    Delivery location โ†’ Next freight hotspot = 180 miles

๐Ÿ’ฃ THE REAL IMPACT

Same load, CORRECT calculation:

  • Pay: $1,200
  • Loaded miles: 800
  • Deadhead: 120
  • Repositioning: 180
  • TOTAL REAL MILES: 1,100

REAL RPM: $1,200 รท 1,100 = $1.09/mile

๐Ÿ˜ฑ WAIT... WHAT?

What you thought: $1.50/mile
The reality: $1.09/mile

THE DIFFERENCE: $0.41/mile

Calculation error: 38%

๐Ÿ’ธ HOW MUCH IS THIS ERROR COSTING YOU?

Timeframe Imaginary Loss
Per week
(4,000 miles ร— $0.41)
$1,640/week
Per month
($1,640 ร— 4 weeks)
$6,560/month
Per year
($6,560 ร— 12 months)
$78,720/year
At the end of the year, you'll wonder:

"Why didn't I save any of that money?"

You believed you made $78,720 more than you actually did.

โœ… THE FIX (IN 3 SIMPLE STEPS)

STEP 1: Before accepting ANY load, ask yourself:

  • โ“ How many deadhead miles do I need?
  • โ“ Where exactly is this load taking me?
  • โ“ How many miles will it take to reposition to a good freight zone?

STEP 2: Calculate your REAL RPM:

REAL RPM = Total Pay รท (Deadhead + Loaded + Repositioning)

STEP 3: Compare it against your true costs:

If your operating cost is $1.00/mile:

  • An RPM of $1.09/mile = Only $0.09/mile in actual profit โŒ
  • An RPM of $1.50/mile = $0.50/mile in actual profit โœ…

The difference is MASSIVE.

๐ŸŽฏ TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY (DO THIS NOW)

Grab the very LAST load you accepted:

1๏ธโƒฃ How much did it pay? $____________

2๏ธโƒฃ How many loaded miles? ____________

3๏ธโƒฃ What was your original RPM calculation? $____________/mile

Now, let's calculate the REAL RPM:

4๏ธโƒฃ How many deadhead miles? ____________

5๏ธโƒฃ How many repositioning miles? ____________

6๏ธโƒฃ Total REAL miles: ____________

7๏ธโƒฃ REAL RPM: $_______ รท _______ = $_______/mile

THE DIFFERENCE:

Your original calculation: $____________/mile
Your REAL RPM: $____________/mile
The Error: $____________/mile

๐Ÿ˜ฑ HOW DRASTICALLY DID YOUR NUMBERS CHANGE?

If the difference is >$0.20/mile:

๐Ÿšจ You've been making major decisions with 20-40% inaccurate information.

This explains why:

  • โœ— Your profits aren't matching your expectations.
  • โœ— Some "good" loads ended up hurting your wallet.
  • โœ— You finish the month asking, "Where did all my money go?"
