Looking at buying a Route business (southwest region, ISP compliant, 100% overlap, 16 routes in total), would very appreciate any feedback on questions below: (understand every ISP is different and difficult to give specific number, just look for your personal input as a data point for me)
Revenue side:
- Due to lack of historic data, has to rely on limited data for assessment, does May/June reflect average business? or above/below?
- Reasonable to assume 6 weeks of holiday peak? and average 50% of revenue plus during peak?
- What is the reasonable incentive/bonus on average from customer service/safety? $2500 a month easy to achievable?
Cost side:
- w/ ISP & 100% overlap, mandatory to serve 7days/week in future? It seems the payroll will jump ... What is a reasonable average hrs/route? Assuming suburban residential setting ...
- What is a reasonable fuel cost/route? Assuming suburban residential setting ...
- What is a reasonable maintenance cost/truck? average $5000/truck annually? Assuming 1:1:1 composition of young(<5yr), mid(5~10yr), old(10yr+) fleet
- What is a reasonable insurance cost? Assuming work-comp + supplement non-trucking coverage
You input is much appreciated! Drop me a private note if you don't like to put it in public ...
