re: Started a transport business

Great points, concerns, and suggestions.

We are actually 20 miles from Dallas and have the storage thing handled. Fuel prices could be a concern, but not a huge issue right now.

A good maintenance schedule that is time stamped needs to be available and used.

Did an airport transfer this morning... $300 round trip. Pay the driver $40 per trip. Fuel is about $30 for round trip.

My cost for round trip to airport is $110. Gross profit from this trip is $190.00. Drivers are averaging $40 per trip In tips.

I’ve raised the airport transfers from $260 to $300 and that side of the business hasn’t slowed one bit.

Corporate/private events are the money maker...

$125 an hour, four hour minimum, plus service charge, plus cleaning fee.

Most of the time the sprinters are sitting waiting on people to finish meetings or dinner.

Did some celebrities two weekends ago 10 hours Friday, 10 hours Saturday— $3,000.00.

Ideas on a good maintenance spreadsheet?

Appreciate the comments.

Add on:

We’ve got four sprinters thus far. Started on 6/1/2021 and have a great relationship with a local credit union. Zero down, great rate, great terms.

Ours are 2019 and 2018 and some of them have never been driven... just used for showrooms and trade shows/displays. They all have less than 10,000 miles... some as few as 85. They run about $100k each.
