Evaluating a Load Selection for Your Client
To properly evaluate a load selection for your Clients, you will need your current zipcode location. Follow these steps:
- Estimate Mileage:
- Calculate the estimated miles from your current zipcode location to the pickup zipcode location.
- Add the miles from the pickup zipcode location to the delivery zipcode location.
- This total is the estimated mileage you will need to complete the load.
- Input Details into the Profit Analyzer:
- Enter the Load Rate.
- Enter the Estimated Miles.
- Enter the Current Fuel Price.
- Click the update button.
The Profit Analyzer will provide a breakdown of your Cost Per Mile (CPM), the Fuel Usage Loss/Gain Status, and the Recommended (R)Rate.
Dispatcher Objectives:
- Beat the (R)Rate: you will need to negotiate for a Load Rate that is better or as close as possible to the Recommended (R)Rate for you.
- Monitor Load Submissions: Your clients will use the Carriers Dispatch app to submit each completed load.
- Evaluate Business Direction: Load submissions will generate a Profitability Evaluation Status (PES) report, indicating the business’s direction.
- A Negative PES indicates you are accumulating too many losses.
- A Positive PES indicates you are generating profits.
Your Goal as a Dispatcher:
To book more loads that help you achieve and maintain a positive PES. My role is crucial in ensuring your success and profitability in the trucking industry.
