01 / TIME + CASH
Fuel-stop comparison
Compare avoidable fuel-stop time and vehicle costs with the extra price of an alternative fuel arrangement.
Saved time is not automatically saved cash. A negative cash result means modeled cash costs increase. Freed capacity is not counted as revenue.
How the math works
Annual stops = trucks × weekly stops × operating weeks
Avoidable hours = annual stops × minutes / 60
Time value = avoidable hours × hourly driver cost
Vehicle savings = annual stops × avoidable vehicle cost / stop
Extra fuel = annual stops × litres / stop × premium in cents / 100
Annual fees = weekly fleet fees × weeks
Net time-and-cost value = time value + vehicle savings − extra fuel − annual fees
Net cash effect = time value × cash-realization % / 100 + vehicle savings − extra fuel − annual fees
Time-value break-even (¢/L) = (time value + vehicle savings − annual fees) / annual litres × 100
Cash-only break-even (¢/L) = (realized time value + vehicle savings − annual fees) / annual litres × 100
Keep in mind
- Capital costs, storage, financing, delivery reliability and operational or regulatory constraints are excluded.
- No extra capacity revenue or profit forecast. Fees are whole-fleet amounts; avoidable vehicle costs exclude driver wages.
- Use the same tax basis for current and alternative quotes and every cost input.
