    Why this matters

    If your profit per delivery is negative, growth makes the problem worse. This page shows how pricing, productivity, and overhead interact so you can fix the real driver.

    The logic: profit per delivery = price − (labor + fuel + overhead per delivery). Break‑even is when total contribution covers fixed overhead.
