IMPARGO GmbH
The Transport Management Platform (TMP®) for road freights logistics. Powerful & easy-to-use.
Did you know that relying on car-based route planners like Google Maps could be quietly draining your trucking business of thousands of euros every year?
Most transport companies unknowingly lose revenue because these tools fail to account for truck-specific needs. But with the right strategies and tools, you can plug these leaks and watch your profits soar.
1. Stop Underbilling: Avoid the Trap of Inaccurate Distance Calculations
Every kilometer matters in trucking. When you use tools designed for cars, your billing often reflects the shortest route—not the real, truck-compatible distance. This mismatch leads to:
🚨 Underbilling: You’re leaving money on the table with every trip.
⛽ Higher Costs: Inefficient routes drive up fuel expenses.
📉 Profit Risks: Small errors add up, putting your financial health at risk.
Imagine charging clients for 390 km when your truck actually drove 400 km. Doesn’t sound like much? Over time, this "small" oversight could cost you thousands per truck annually.
2. Let’s Do the Math: How Much Money Are You Losing?
Here’s a real-world scenario:
The Impact of This 2% Error:
Multiply that by your fleet size, and the lost revenue becomes staggering. This isn’t just a missed opportunity—it’s wasted money.
3. Turn Things Around: Proven Strategies to Boost Your Revenue
It’s time to take control. Here are five strategies to transform your trucking business:
Calculate Accurate Truck Driving Distances
Use a transportation management system (TMS) designed for trucks. These tools factor in truck-specific requirements, like restricted roads, and ensure your billing matches the actual kilometers driven.
Optimize Route Planning
Efficient routes save fuel and time.
Manage Truck Driving Times
Smart tools can optimize for delivery schedules and reduce unnecessary mileage.

4. Don’t Just Take Our Word for It: A Real Success Story
Edis Barakovic Eddy, owner of LE Transport d.o.o., turned his business around using IMPARGO’s TMP®.
Eddy reports that in the first week of working with his new client, he had already noticed enormous differences in mileage between driven and compensated kilometers. After he had approached the client, it became clear that Google Maps was used for billing.
Eddy negotiated with his client the IMPARGO truck route calculator as basis for distance calculation and therefore as basis for billing.
“I then sent them the link to the truck-compatible route and the screenshot of the route. The client had no further argument. The CargoApps saved me the company in such a short time.”
Here’s what they achieved:
✔ Accurate billing, preventing undercharging
✔ Better tour planning and compliance management
✔ Stronger client relationships built on trust
This isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a proven solution to stop financial losses.
