Profitability
Which cans, sites and materials actually pay
Columns and rows, not gauges. Revenue against disposal, hauling and days out, by customer and by material — the two cuts that change what you quote.
How it works · 01
Revenue is not the same as margin or cash
A full day can look successful while disposal and travel consume the price. An issued invoice records a receivable; it does not mean the customer paid. A payment improves cash, but it does not establish the job’s margin. Keep these questions separate when reviewing an operating report.
Smooth Hauling reports connect operational work with billing and recorded costs. Review the date range, included jobs and available cost evidence before comparing customers or routes. Missing disposal or hauling inputs can make a margin look better than the underlying operation. Treat incomplete costs as an investigation queue rather than a profit claim.

Find the work that did not reach billing
Start with completed pulls and their tickets. Which have reviewed weight? Which have a charge? Which have an invoice line? A break at any stage explains why a completed job may not appear in billed revenue. The ticket workflow gives the office a way to work through those stages.
The missed-billing calculator asks for your own monthly volume, suspected missed-charge rate and average eligible charge. It estimates gross billing exposure, not money you will collect or the benefit of adopting software. Compare its assumptions against a sample of your records, then consider credits, collection losses, taxes and the time needed to fix the workflow.
What it won’t do
We don’t know your fuel, your insurance or what you pay yourself. This is revenue against the costs you recorded, and an issued invoice is a receivable, not cash.
