Why the accounting is different here
In transport, every truck is a small business. If you don't know cost per kilometre and revenue per trip, you can't tell which routes are worth running. Cross-border operators add customs, transit bonds and multi-currency fuel to the mix.
- Fuel leakage and unrecorded siphoning
- Cost per kilometre not calculated per vehicle
- Cross-border transit bonds and customs paperwork
- Driver allowances, subsistence and cash controls
- Vehicle depreciation and replacement planning
- Ministry of Transport — operator licences
- ZIMRA — VAT, WHT, customs, transit bonds
- NSSA — driver injury cover
- TSCZ — cross-border permits

A real example
A cross-border haulier owned 8 trucks but couldn't say which were profitable. Fuel was topped up in cash at the border and never fully reconciled.
We built a per-truck ledger, introduced fuel logs against odometer readings and identified two trucks running at a loss. One was sold, one was reassigned to a shorter route, and monthly profit doubled without adding a truck.
