Understanding Vehicle Costs
The True Cost Is Always Higher
Most business owners only think about fuel and payment when calculating vehicle costs. But insurance, maintenance, tires, registration, and depreciation add 40-60% more. A truck that seems affordable can actually be a major expense.
Industry Benchmarks
- • Work vans: $0.55-0.75 per mile total cost
- • Service trucks: $0.65-0.85 per mile total cost
- • Heavy trucks: $0.90-1.20 per mile total cost
Reducing Fleet Costs
- • Route optimization: Fewer miles = less fuel and maintenance
- • Preventive maintenance: Cheaper than repairs and downtime
- • Fuel cards: Track spending and get discounts
- • Right-size vehicles: Don't pay for capacity you don't need
- • Driver training: Aggressive driving burns more fuel
Buy vs. Lease
Buy if: You drive high miles, keep vehicles 5+ years, want to customize
Lease if: You want newer vehicles, prefer predictable costs, drive moderate miles
