Frequently Asked Questions
How many deliveries per month to break even?
Fixed costs ÷ contribution per delivery. $1,800 fixed (insurance, phone, software, vehicle payment) at $6 contribution per stop = 300 deliveries — about 14 per working day before profit starts.
What fixed costs does a delivery business carry?
Commercial auto insurance ($150–400/month per vehicle — the big one), vehicle payments, phone/data, dispatch software, and licensing. Personal auto policies generally exclude commercial delivery.
How does adding a second vehicle change break-even?
Fixed costs nearly double before the new van earns a dollar, so break-even jumps. Add capacity only when the first vehicle consistently turns work away — not when growth merely feels close.
