The FedEx Ground Contractor Margin Checklist
The numbers every ISP owner should be able to answer — before they cost you money. Six sections, 45 checks, written for contractors who already know the job and want the math to match.
What’s inside
01
Know what the week actually paid
Effective per-stop and per-package rates, fuel as a percent of revenue, e-commerce share, and every deduction explained.
02
Labor — your #1 operating cost
Typically 45–55% of revenue: weekly labor percentage, per-driver cost per stop from observed days, and what turnover really costs.
03
Fleet — capital decisions on a clock
Replacement points by age and mileage, maintenance per vehicle, and the spare-ratio math behind a five-figure mistake.
04
Fuel cards and the P&L
Reconciling card spend against settlement fuel, and catching the gap before it becomes a quarter of margin.
05
The contract itself
Schedule C rates, renewal timing, and the terms worth negotiating before the next agreement cycle.
06
Bonus — buying a route? Verify before you wire
The diligence checks that separate a real earnings story from a seller’s spreadsheet.
Rather not do it by hand?
Route Impact runs these checks against your actual settlements every week — effective rates, labor cost per stop, and line items flagged for your review.
