So, at one point or another, these products need to be shipped through the truck. If you are in a trucking business, you might benefit from it.

But, because of competition in the industry, getting delivery contract is hard. Below are the steps that you can follow in order to successfully get delivery contract.

Know the MPG of the Car You Have

To know the mpg of your car, fill up the fuel tank then drive at least 100 miles. Then fill up the tank again. Trace the amount of gallons utilized to fill up the tank the 2nd time. Then divide 100 in the amounts of gallons of the fuel you listed. Since you drove 100 miles, this will show you the exact miles for every gallon the trucks gets. You need to record this amount and use this formula to know the fuel your truck consumes.

Read the Agreement Prior to Bidding

You have to read the agreement specs prior to bidding. Determine the miles every delivery will take. You can do this by multiplying the amount of miles for every travel by the amount of trips needed in the contract. The number will show you the miles the agreement needs. Multiply the amount of gallons of gas required for the agreement on the existing cost per gallon. This will show you the cost of the fuel for the agreement.

Check the Days Needed to Finish the Contract

Divide the amount of miles in the agreement by the amount of miles you could drive a day. Through this, will you will know the exact number if days needed to complete the agreement. If you can drive forty four miles a day, that is a fifty mile per hour for eight hours. Divide 250 miles of the delivery deal by 440 and you will get 57. Meaning, you can do the job in just one day or less than.
