If a new van doesn’t add enough paid work, the extra unit just drags cash out of the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eHere’s the quick math: more vans can spread overhead, but only if routes, drivers, insurance, financing, and maintenance stay tight. The cash gate is big too: minimum cash need reaches \u003cstrong\u003e$445k\u003c\/strong\u003e, so reserves protect owner draws when volume dips. One slow month can still leave the fixed bill due.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"left-row6\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"tips-box\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eTrack Overhead Per Van\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eMeasure \u003cstrong\u003efixed overhead per van\u003c\/strong\u003e, paid routes per week, and cash runway. The owner should know whether each added van lowers overhead per job or just adds lease and insurance burden.

A clean rule helps: add capacity only when recurring work can cover the full monthly fixed load and still leave room for owner pay.
