pdf Rules of the Road in Trucking: Know Your Numbers, App Preregistration Edition

This paperback edition includes 6 months of access to the United Freight Operators Cost Per Mile App.

This is the preregistration edition. It is the same book as the standard edition, word for word, with one page added at the back that tells you how to claim your months and how to reach the authors directly.

How long each format of this preregistration edition gives you:

• Kindle: 1 month of app access
• Paperback: 6 months of app access
• Hardcover: 12 months of app access

Every format also carries an invitation to the demonstration and review sessions, where drivers see the build early and say plainly what is wrong with it.

How you claim your months. The last page of this edition gives you the email addresses for Wild Bill Ihrie and Michael Polzin. Write to either of us with your proof of purchase and we grant the months that match the format you bought. We read those messages ourselves. The app access is granted by the authors and not by Amazon, and it is redeemed by email after your purchase.

Preregistration is not refundable. You are not buying a finished product and you are not buying a promise of a date. You are putting money into a build that is happening, in exchange for months of access when it opens and a seat at the table while it is made. If that is not a trade you want, buy the standard edition of this book instead and keep your money. Whatever books and files you were sent are yours to keep either way.

Know what a mile costs you. Know what your work is worth. Keep more of what you earn.

A short, plain book for American truck drivers, written with a driver who has been an owner operator for more than twenty years, owning every truck he has driven, and kept his numbers on paper in a glovebox the whole time. Twelve chapters, twelve rules, and every step of the arithmetic shown, so you can check everything yourself.

You operate eighty thousand pounds through mountain grades, city traffic, and black ice, on a clock, alone. Nobody has to explain hard work to you. This book points that same discipline at the money side of the job. Fully burdened cost. Cost per mile, worked all the way through. Your floor. Reading a settlement. Envelope stuffing on settlement day. Getting out of the debt trap. Saving first. A weekly pulse and a quarterly glovebox review.

Every chapter opens with a true story from the seat of a truck, then hands you a lesson you work with your own numbers, one Rule of the Road in plain words, and one small action you can take in ten minutes or less. No quizzes. No talking down.

This book is educational. It is not tax, legal, investment, or financial advice, and it does not tell anyone how, when, or whether to drive.
