| A.
First - it lowers your unit cost to Haul: |
|
| 1.
Calculate your average Payload in tons for the last two weeks |
|
Total Net Weight for
last 2 weeks
--------------------------------------------------
Total # of loads hauled last 2 weeks |
(A) |
Average Payload
-------------------
(in tons) |
| 2.
What is average haul distance in miles? |
(B) |
Average haul distance
(in miles) |
| 3.
What is your cost per mile to haul? |
(C) |
($2.00 PER LOADED
MILE)
a realistic number today |
| 4.
What is your unit cost to haul? |
|
|
|
(A)
-------
(B) X (C) |
avg payload
----------------
avg haul distance X cost per mile to haul |
(D) |
(current cost to haul)
dollars per ton |
| 5.
How many Tons per year do you haul? |
|
|
| (A)
X (Loads per Week) X (50 weeks per year) |
(E) |
Tons
per year |
| 6.
What average payload would you like to have? |
(F) |
Tons per
load |
| 7.
What is the unit cost to haul with your desired average payload? |
|
|
|
(F)
-------
(B) X (C) |
desired avg payload
----------------
avg haul distance X cost per mile to haul |
(G) |
(new cost to haul)
dollars per ton |
| 8.
What is the
difference?
(D) - (G) |
(H) |
(SAVINGS)
dollars/ton |
| 9.
Annual Savings due to lower unit cost to haul |
|
|
|
(H) - (E) Savings per ton X Tons per Year |
(I) |
Dollars / Year |
|
|
|
|
| B.
Second - It increases your Hauling Income: |
| 1.
What are you paid per Ton to Haul |
|
|
Haul
Pay per Load
---------------------
25 tons (used by most mills) |
(J) |
Dollars
per ton |
2.
What increase in Average Payload do you expect?
(F) - (A) |
(K) |
Tons per
Load |
3.
Extra income per Load
(J) X (K) Haul rate X Increased Payload |
(L) |
Dollars
per Load |
4. Increased
Hauling income per Year
(L) x (Loads per week) X (50 weeks per year) |
(M) |
Dollars per
Year |
|
|
|
|
| C.
Third -
On Quota - A larger Payload Increases your Logging Income: |
| 1.
What is your Logging Rate? |
(N) |
Dollars
per Ton |
2.
What is Increase in LOGGING INCOME?
(increased payload) X (logging rate) X (loads/year
(K) X (N) X (loads per year) |
(O) |
Dollars per
Year |
|
|
|
|
| D.
Fourth
- Weight Fines - How Much? |
| 1.
How much did you pay in weight fines last year? |
(P) |
Dollars
per Year |
|
|
|
|
| E.
TOTAL SAVINGS |
|
|
1.
Add the totals:
(reduced cost to haul) + (increased hauling income) + (increased
logging income) + (Saved Weight Fines)
(I) + (M) + (O) + (P) |
|
Total Impact |
|
|
|
|
| F.
HOW LONG
DOES IT TAKE TO PAY FOR A SCALE? |
| (THE
SCALE IS COVERED WITH A TWO YEAR WARRANTY) |
