Gross Revenue: Gross revenue is the total amount you bill for the loads you haul, before any expenses, fees or taxes are taken out.
Why it matters to owner operators
Gross revenue shows how busy you are, not how profitable you are. Two trucks with the same gross can have very different take-home pay once costs are counted.
Example
A truck that bills $12,000 in a week has $12,000 in gross revenue, even if fuel, fees and other costs leave only a fraction of that as profit.
