Fuel Profitability

Fuel Profitability

The Fuel Profitability Dashboard shows you the difference between fuel purchases and the fuel surcharge earned. A fuel surcharge is an extra fee that transportation companies add to account for the cost of fuel. It's usually calculated as a percentage of the base rate. 

 

Use the checkbox Deduct DEF to remove this charge from the fuel cost calculations in the formula.

 

All information for this graphic originates from the Settlement. For Spot trips you simply utilize the amount of fuel purchase.The Fuel Purchase costs are calculated from the total amount spent on these acquisitions. One thing to be noted is that for Linehaul trips the fuel surcharge formula is as follows:

 

Fuel Surcharge = Quantity x (Fuel Cost + Fuel Surcharge Rate)

 

The final formula is as follows:

 

Fuel Profitability = Fuel Surcharge - Fuel Purchase.

 

The Y axis will display the profitability totals in both a gross number and percentage format, while the X axis displays the dates selected for sorting.
