Know your profit — per mile, per truck, per lane

Not another report to build. Because FAST already holds the data, the profit picture is already assembled.

The short version
FAST turns the settlement, driver pay, fuel, and maintenance it already holds into live profitability. See true cost per mile, revenue per truck, fuel efficiency, and idle time — by unit, with zero exports or pivot tables.

Most carriers fly blind until tax time

You can feel when a month was tight, but by the time the accountant confirms it, the quarter is over and the money is gone. Cost per mile is the single number that runs a linehaul business — and for most carriers it lives in a spreadsheet that’s always three months behind reality.

You don’t know a truck’s real cost per mile until months after the miles are run.
Fuel, pay, and maintenance sit in three systems that never add up in one place.
A truck can lose money for weeks before anyone notices.
Building the report means exporting to a spreadsheet and rebuilding a pivot table every time.

The numbers that actually run the business

True cost per mile
CPM by truck, driver, and domicile — pay, fuel, and maintenance included, not estimated.
Revenue per truck
Rank the fleet by contribution and spot the units quietly losing money.
Fuel efficiency & margin
Settlement MPG and fuel margin by unit, so you can coach the outliers.
Idle & utilization
Idle time and utilization surfaced next to revenue — where margin quietly leaks.

Why the numbers are trustworthy

Reporting is only as good as its inputs. In FAST there is one set of inputs: the settlement you imported, the pay run you finalized, the fuel that synced from WEX, and the maintenance you logged. Every dashboard reads that same data, so your reports reconcile by construction — there is no second source to argue with.

One source of truth. Every report reads the same data you paid drivers and fueled trucks with — so the numbers reconcile automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a data warehouse or BI tool?

No. The dashboards are built in. If you can run payroll in FAST, you already have the reporting — there’s nothing to configure or connect.

How is cost per mile calculated?

From the real data FAST already holds — driver pay from the settlement, fuel from your WEX sync, and maintenance from your work orders — rolled up by truck, driver, and domicile.

Can I bookmark the views I use most?

Yes — save and share company bookmarks so your team opens the same views every week.

How current are the numbers?

They update as the work happens — finalize a pay run or log a repair and the profit picture reflects it, instead of waiting for a month-end close.
