A pickup, a gooseneck and a load board is a real business with real numbers. We track every load, every mile and every fee so you know what your truck actually made this month, and what you owe in April.
Broker payments, factoring advances and dispatcher fees that make it hard to see what a load really paid
Fuel, insurance, tires and repairs on one card with no idea what each truck nets
A first-year tax bill nobody warned you about, with no quarterly estimates paid
A truck and trailer bought for the deduction, without a plan for the year after
Load revenue, fuel, insurance, repairs, dispatcher and factoring fees coded to each truck so you see what every unit nets, not one blended number.
Self-employment tax hits hotshot operators hard. We calculate and remind you of each quarterly payment so April is not a surprise.
Payroll for W-2 drivers, settlements for 1099 owner-operators, and per diem handled correctly as the fleet grows past one truck.
Section 179 and bonus depreciation on the pickup and gooseneck planned so a new rig lowers this year's tax without a bigger bill next year.
Own the truck and trailer while someone else runs it? Monthly statements showing cash in, cash out and return on each unit, plus the tax treatment of your share.
LLC vs. S-Corp, owner pay, when to add a second truck and multi-state exposure, planned around how your operation grows.
Three steps, every month
Bank and fuel card statements, broker and factoring reports, dispatcher invoices and your mileage or ELD records.
Every dollar is coded to a unit and a category and reconciled monthly. Quarterly estimates are calculated from the real numbers.
A per-truck profit report each month, your estimate amounts and due dates, and a plan before you buy the next rig.
Yes. Most hotshot businesses start as one owner-operator on load boards. Clean books and quarterly estimates from the first truck make the second one much easier.
Book a consultation. We'll look at where you are, tell you what it takes to get current, and quote it plainly.
