Premium Statistics: Mastering Margins and Profitability for Hauliers

How many times have you asked yourself: "Did I make a profit or a loss on this trip?" How many times have you accepted a load thinking it was profitable, only to find that actual costs had eroded your entire margin?

As a haulier, you know that the price you accept isn't your net profit. There is fuel, tolls, vehicle depreciation, labor, insurance... but calculating all these factors for every single shipment is complex without the right tools.

With Truckscanner Premium Statistics, you finally have a comprehensive dashboard that automatically compares the accepted price with the estimated operational cost for each transport, providing your actual profit in real-time.

The Dashboard That Transforms Revenue into Real Margins

Premium Statistics is more than just a list of completed trips. It is a business intelligence tool built to answer the question that truly matters: how much am I actually earning?

What You See in Your Statistics Dashboard

Total Estimated Profit: The Number That Matters

For every transport order completed on Truckscanner, the dashboard displays:

• Accepted Price: What the shipper paid you.
• Estimated Operational Cost: What that specific transport actually cost you.
• Gross Margin: The difference between price and cost.
• Percentage Margin: To quickly assess overall profitability.

The estimated operational cost is calculated by Truckscanner using official Ministry of Transport data (benchmarks) as a baseline, adjusted for the specific load type. While indicative, these values are based on real, certified parameters, offering a more accurate transport profitability analysis than any rough estimate.

Why Knowing Your Real Cost is Fundamental

Not All Shipments Are Equal

Two shipments on the same route can have completely different profitability levels. The cargo type, trip conditions, and vehicle type are all factors that impact the actual margin. Premium Statistics highlights these differences clearly for every single trip.

Order Analysis: Every Shipment Decoded by Numbers

Every single transport order in the dashboard is part of an organized, filterable list that includes:

Detailed Economic Data

• Agreed Price: The offer you made that was accepted.
• Estimated Company Cost: Based on official industry benchmarks for that cargo category.
• Absolute Margin: Your profit in euros.
• Percentage Margin: Your ROI on the specific shipment.

Operational Data

• Origin and Destination: For geographical analysis.
• Cargo Type: Full Truckload (FTL), Groupage (LTL), ADR, Temperature-controlled.
• Execution Date: For temporal analysis and trend tracking.

Environmental Data

• CO2e Emissions (Well-to-Wheel): Calculated according to the HBEFA 4.2 protocol, a certified European standard, compliant with ISO 14083:2023 for Euro 6 engines.

Emissions are calculated as indicative values and may vary based on real transport conditions, vehicle specifications, and traffic. While profit is your priority, this data is becoming a mandatory requirement for shippers in tenders and long-term partnerships.

Powerful Filters to Understand Where You Earn (and Where You Lose)

The real power of Premium Statistics lies in its analytical filters. You can segment data to identify:

Route Analysis

"Which are my most profitable lanes?"

Filter by specific origin and destination or distance range. You will discover which routes bring the best haulier profit margins and which ones are eroding your bottom line. This allows you to focus on high-margin lanes and renegotiate or drop marginal ones.

Cargo Type Analysis

Filter by commodity type to discover which categories are most lucrative for your fleet. You might find that specialized loads—which seem complex—actually offer far superior margins compared to standard cargo.

Temporal and Client Analysis

Compare performance month-over-month or year-over-year to measure if your pricing strategies are working. Furthermore, filtering by client reveals who is truly worth working with: some may offer high volume but low margins, while others provide lower volume but higher profitability.

Real-World Scenarios for Your Haulage Business

Scenario 1: Strategy over Instinct

Stop accepting every load available. Use data to decide where to invest your fleet's time and energy based on real margin history.

Scenario 2: Fleet Investment Planning

Planning to expand your fleet? Premium Statistics show you the lanes with the highest margins and the volumes you are already managing, allowing for data-driven investments.

Scenario 3: Negotiating with Shippers

When a regular client asks for a discount, negotiate from a position of strength. If the numbers show the current margin is already thin, you can provide hard data to justify your rates or pivot to more profitable clients.

Average Cost per Type: Your Personal Benchmark

Beyond individual trip analysis, Premium Statistics show the aggregate average cost for different load types. This is essential for Agurate Quoting and evaluating new marketplace opportunities in seconds.

The Growing Importance of CO2e Emissions

Shippers must now report Scope 3 emissions (their supply chain) in their sustainability reports. By providing certified data (ISO 14083:2023), you position yourself as a modern, reliable partner, gaining a competitive edge in tenders.

Comparison: Before and After Truckscanner Premium

Before: Vague feeling of profit, decisions based on gut instinct, impossible to compare lane profitability, zero transparency on emissions.
After: Precise data on every trip, data-driven decisions, immediate comparison of clients and routes, certified CO2e reports, and automatic analysis.
