Every Mile Costs You Money

Know how much you need to earn to keep running.

If you’re not making enough to cover the cost of every mile and earn a little income, then you won’t succeed. By diligently tracking your cost per mile, you’ll know exactly which rates you can afford to accept and where to cut costs.

Eagle’s cost calculator can help. Simply enter your fixed costs— either the total annual cost or the monthly bill—in the fields below. Then enter your variable costs. Skip any items that don’t apply to your business. On the last page, note what kind of income you need to pay yourself and anyone else. We’ll generate a detailed report you can print, file away, or post where you need it most.

Now You Know

Take a good look at this report. If, after you pay yourself an income, you’re bringing in more than your monthly or annual costs, congratulations! You’re on track to success.

But if you’re cutting it razor-thin, beware. One bad month—or even one bad week—could put you in a cash flow crisis. Eagle Capital can help with an honest factoring service that takes the pressure off by paying you as soon as we receive your invoice.

If you’re bringing in less than your costs, consider renegotiating rates with your customers or cutting costs. Eagle’s factoring service can provide a bridge of cash flow while you get rates under control and give you the breathing room you need to save your business. Go to Eagle to find out more!
