The Challenge
Pat had been an excellent driver for 15 years but was terrible at invoicing. She frequently forgot to submit proof of delivery, sent invoices to wrong contacts, and had outstanding receivables of $22,000 — some going back 5 months. She was cash-poor despite doing strong volume. Her bank had denied a truck maintenance loan due to inconsistent cash flow records.
Grow Trucking Solution
Grow Trucking took over Pat's invoicing, collections, and financial documentation. We traced and recovered $17,500 of her outstanding $22,000 in receivables within 45 days. Our team implemented QuickBooks integration with same-day POD upload, and within 90 days Pat had a clean 90-day revenue record that allowed her to successfully refinance her truck at a better rate.
Route Optimization
I-35 North to I-44 to I-55 North. Identified a fuel optimization circuit using Pat's existing fuel card at Casey's locations, reducing her fuel spend by $190 per round trip.
