Case # 2
An Omaha based truckload carrier operated 50 trucks. The
company was having severe cash flow problems. They hired
a consultant. The consultant heard from his accountant
about the Carriernet Group Financial "Nickel per
Mile Profit Program." The consultant met with the
financial consultant.
A two phase plan was worked out. First CMS Truckwin Dispatch
and Accounting system was installed. This enabled the
company to prepare current, accurate and complete financial
statements. The consultant agreed that factoring freight
bills would provide a quick cash flow solution until operations could be
improved.
Working with the financial consultant current, accurate and
complete financial statements were generated from the
Truckwin Dispatch and Accounting software. It was determined
that the company was losing between 5 and 6 cents per
mile. Working with the management information and ratios in
the Nickel per mile Profit Program
the company identified unprofitable transportation lanes and
reduced expenses that would allow them to reach a cent per mile profit within 6 months.
With profitability the company was then able to refinance its fleet of equipment
with a local bank and reduce it's overall financing costs by
an additional 2%. That amounted to an annual
interest savings of $80,000.
Within 12 months, the company was able to obtain an 8%
commercial loan line of credit equal to 50% of average
monthly freight bills. This generated another savings
of $140,000. Within 18 months the company was
consistently obtaining 3 to 4 cents profit per mile using
the Carriernet Group Financial accounting and management
systems.
