Accurate Record Keeping is by far the most important quotient in reducing your Cost Per Mile. Many times servicing intervals are left to memory. It must be due, Only to find out the service had been done far too soon after finding the receipt for the prior service, causing unnessary expense.Once accurate records are established, calculating tire, fuel, maintenance & repair costs is quite simple. Make certain All work is dated and tracked by vehicle number and with mileage, hubometer, or hours accurately notated. Always use the same source. Engine Idling, can be a factor if excessive. The modern electronic engine can consume 9 of a gallon of diesel fuel per hour. If the engine were idled for 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, 52 weeks per year, it would consume 1872 gallons of fuel. At $1.60 per gallon, this would total approximately $3000.00 per truck, just on idle. Of course if a driver is required to use a sleeper on the truck, allowance must be made for heat & air cond itioning. Another option would be auxiliary units that don't require the engine to idle.Proper Tire inflation and inspection can reduce tire expense if a program is in place. Buying tires on the road puts you at risk of paying too much for the replacement tire, and costs you & your driver lost revenue, and delays of goods transported to your clients.
