Revenue per truck day
Revenue per truck day is completed job revenue divided by truck days, where one truck day is one crew working one day.
Also called
- revenue per truck
- daily truck revenue
- revenue per crew day
It is one of the clearest numbers for a home service owner, because the truck and crew are what you pay for each day. It rises with better pricing, bigger tickets and denser routes, and falls with drive time, callbacks and half-empty days.
Compare it by crew, by month and by kind of work. A crew that does fewer, bigger jobs may beat one that does many small ones.
Formula
revenue per truck day = revenue from completed jobs ÷ truck days worked
Example
Invented: two trucks worked 21 days each in May (42 truck days) and completed $75,600 of work, which is $1,800 per truck day.
