Monthly Revenue Per Truck Climbs, Transcore
PORTLAND, Ore. — Average monthly revenue per truck was 10 percent higher in 2011 to date when compared with 2010, according to Transcore’s second annual Carrier Benchmark Survey.
The reason for the increase was a corresponding 10 percent lift in per-mile rates.
For-hire carriers who used load boards for 30 to 60 percent of their loads had jumped 7.7 percent in monthly revenues.
The survey also found that the average length of haul dropped 2.6 percent from last year, 903 to 880 miles one way, and empty miles improved by one percent in 2011.
The survey was based on responses from more than 600 for-hire carriers, owner-operators and asset-based broker/carriers, during the summer of 2011, and you can get the full version here.
