How Our FedEx Routes Went from Breaking Even to $400K Profit

We bought 3 FedEx Ground routes in 2023 for $850K total. Barely profitable at $30K/year combined.

The NexLvel community showed us where the money was leaking.

1. Driver compensation restructuring - per-stop pay boosted productivity 30%.
2. Preventive maintenance program - reduced breakdown costs 60%.
3. Route optimization software - reduced daily miles 15%.
4. Negotiated better contractor rates with improved service scores.
5. Added a 4th route through organic growth.

Year 2: 4 routes, 6 trucks, 8 drivers, $400K net profit. Routes now worth $1.4M.
