Where it comes from

The math

A year

Office time back

$23,790

**Loads entered for you**Rate confirmations turn into loads without anyone retyping them.

1,560 loads × 3 min ÷ 60 × $30/hr

$2,340

**Check calls handled**Customers get status and ETAs without your office picking up the phone.

1,560 loads × 10 min ÷ 60 × $30/hr

$7,800

**Billing desk**Delivered loads become invoices that are ready to send.

1,560 loads × 8 min ÷ 60 × $30/hr

$6,240

**POD and paperwork chased**Missing PODs are chased until the paperwork is in.

1,560 loads × 5 min ÷ 60 × $30/hr

$3,900

**Payments matched**Customer payments land against the right invoices.

1,560 loads × 3 min ÷ 60 × $30/hr

$2,340

**Fewer invoices sent back**Invoices go out right the first time.

1,560 invoices × 5% reworked × 30 min ÷ 60 × $30/hr

$1,170

Paid sooner

$1,710

**Cash in sooner**Invoices go out sooner, so the money arrives sooner.

$8,548 revenue a day × 2 days × 10% cost of money

$1,710

What clean data catches

$30,718

**Detention billed, not lost**Every long wait at a dock is on record and on the invoice.

3,120 stops × 25.8% held 2+ hrs × 20% never billed × 1 hr × $63.71/hr

$10,257

**Fewer empty miles**Trucks are seen in time to find the next load before they run empty.

10 trucks × 100,000 miles × 16.7% empty × 10% recovered × $1.028/mile

$17,168

**Drivers kept, paid right**Settlements match the loads run, so pay mistakes stop pushing drivers out.

10 drivers × 40% leave × 10% over pay × $8,234 to replace

$3,294

Total a year

$56,218

Sending invoices 2 days sooner also frees about $17,096 of cash once; only what that cash is worth over a year is counted above.

### What one slip can cost

Expired authority, lapsed insurance, missing records and late tax returns are caught before they happen. These are the current penalties for a single incident, not part of the total above.

-   **$15,846**Records not kept$1,584 a day, up to $15,846, for a recordkeeping violation
