\n
Are you considering adding a second or third FedEx route to your business? There\u2019s a lot of debate surrounding if it\u2019s a smart move. Some people believe that it\u2019s essential to have multiple sources of income to be resilient if one of your sources fails.<\/p>\n
Others believe that buying a second or third route can be detrimental to your business, as it can lead to higher risks, higher responsibility, and more upfront investment. Which side of the fence do you stand on? Let\u2019s have a look:<\/p>\n
Are You Prepared for Another Route?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Before you decide on whether or not to add another route to your business, you should ask yourself a few important questions.<\/p>\n
\n
Do you have the necessary energy, time, and resources to manage the new route?<\/li>\n
Will the additional work increase your workload?<\/li>\n
Do you have the truck(s) and other equipment already available?<\/li>\n
Do you have backup or vacation drivers who know these new routes well?<\/li>\n
You are prepared if you have these things or at least know what you might need when getting new route(s)!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Routes are Expensive<\/strong><\/h2>\n
There\u2019s no doubt about it- adding a new one is expensive. This doesn\u2019t mean that you should never think about adding a second or third route. It just means that you need to be realistic about the financial implications of this decision. Ask yourself:<\/p>\n
\n
How profitable is your current route?<\/li>\n
How well is it performing?<\/li>\n
Do you have drivers who can take this current route while you learn the new one?<\/li>\n
Do you have spare trucks you can use on new routes, or will you be getting new trucks?<\/li>\n
Do you have the money set aside so that you can invest in a new route without facing any challenges financially?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
All of these factors will play a crucial role in helping you decide whether or not you are financially capable of buying another route or not.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/figure>\n
