## About this dashboard

The Freight Trucking Dashboard summarizes the economics of a three-class for-hire carrier across a 12-month plan. Review annual revenue, EBITDA, net income and EBIT alongside M12 active trucks, total annual miles, revenue per mile, cost per mile, fuel intensity, driver-pay intensity and peak monthly EBITDA. A per-class composition block shows trucks, revenue and miles for light, medium and heavy duty fleets.

The supporting workbook rolls opening trucks and monthly additions into active fleet counts, then applies annual miles per truck and utilisation to calculate productive miles. Revenue is built from miles and revenue per mile. Operating Costs separates driver pay, fuel, maintenance, insurance, other fixed costs, corporate G&A and depreciation before the P&L calculates contribution margin, EBITDA, EBIT, tax, net income and operating ratio.

Use the dashboard for fleet P&L planning, capacity expansion, rate-cycle stress testing and trucking acquisition diligence. User-set EBITDA margin and operating ratio thresholds provide on-track, watch or heavy status signals as per-mile assumptions, utilisation or additions change.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does the Freight Trucking Dashboard show?

It shows annual revenue, EBITDA, net income and EBIT, plus M12 active trucks, total annual miles, revenue per mile, cost per mile, fuel intensity, driver-pay intensity and peak monthly EBITDA. The composition block breaks trucks, revenue and miles across the three truck classes.

### How are productive miles calculated?

The supporting workbook calculates productive miles as active trucks multiplied by annual miles per truck, divided by 12, then multiplied by utilisation. Active trucks roll forward from opening fleet plus cumulative monthly additions for each light, medium and heavy duty class.

### Which costs are treated as variable?

Driver pay, fuel and maintenance are driven by productive miles and their per-mile assumptions. Insurance, other fixed costs and depreciation follow active truck counts, while corporate G&A is a panel-level fixed cost. This decomposition flows into contribution margin, EBITDA and operating ratio.

### What is the operating ratio output?

Operating ratio divides total operating costs, including variable costs, fixed costs and depreciation, by revenue. The dashboard reports the annual and monthly efficiency view and compares the result with user-set thresholds that resolve to on-track, watch or heavy status.

### Which fleet classes can I compare?

The workbook separates light, medium and heavy duty trucks. Each class has its own fleet size, mileage, utilisation, revenue per mile and cost assumptions, allowing you to compare its contribution to total carrier performance.
