Newly Released Transportation Software From Ahern & Associates Helps McKelvey Trucking Cut Costs, Assess Profitability
McKelvey Trucking markedly improves profitability when using newest version of Financial I.Q. 2.0 trucking software to take the guesswork out of lane analysis.
Phoenix, AZ, —Fluctuating fuel costs, declining freight rates, increasing insurance requirements and escalating government regulations are all factors that make profitability assessment within the trucking industry critical to a trucking company’s survival. Recognizing the importance of customer rate profitability and staying abreast of current technologies is what has helped make McKelvey Trucking an industry leader for over fifty years.
Hoping to improve overall profitability when assessing potential and current customers, Dale Fink, CEO of McKelvey Trucking called on long time trucking analyst; Andy Ahern of Ahern & Associates for a solution. Fink found that solution in the latest release of Financial I.Q. 2.0 trucking software.
Financial I.Q. 2.0 transportation software is a windows based application which works directly off of the company’s actual financial statements to provide the user with keen insight on individual loads, shipping points, lanes, rates for bids, customers, round trips and equipment. When analyzing these individual segments, Financial I.Q. 2.0 generates a profit and loss statement that accurately details total revenues, total expenses, bottom line profit, profit percentages and operating ratios.
In addition, this version of Financial I.Q. 2.0 has an outstanding “what if analysis” capability for measuring the bottom line effect of any changes in rates, costs, productivity, miles per gallon and business volume.
Fink and McKelvey Trucking regularly use Financial I.Q. 2.0 to perform lane analysis when considering placement of a potential customer and to determine profitability. Fink explains, “Financial I.Q. gives us accurate analysis when we run a current or prospective customer through certain lanes; we can see if it’s profitable or not, then we can make adjustments.” Fink explains how they are able to make those adjustments, “It (Financial I.Q.) also gives us a handle on equipment by assisting us in determining who we put on certain loads; depending on the analysis, the software helps us decide whether we use an owner-operator or a company truck.”
Mark Gwynn, VP of McKelvey Trucking oversees the operation of Financial I.Q. 2.0 and knows its effects first hand. “Financial I.Q uses our actual company data to help us gain a better understanding of what types of costs are associated with our customers’ lanes and gives us the ability to rate accordingly—it’s a tremendous tool which has made a real impact to our bottom line.”
Financial I.Q. is profitability software customizable for all sizes of truckload, LTL and freight broker firms; a free demonstration can be found at http://www.ahern-ltd.com/offers/financialiq .

Ahern & Associates' New Financial Software Developed To Assist Trucking Industry And Freight Brokers
New Financial Software Developed To Assist Trucking Industry And Freight Brokers
Ahern and Associates introduces Financial I.Q. software to the transportation industry; provides bottom line relief and financial clarity.
Phoenix, AZ, June 8, 2009—Owners of trucking companies and freight brokerages across the nation that are feeling the brunt of today’s economic conditions now have the ability to right the ship with the help of Ahern and Associates’ new Financial I.Q. software. Long known for their ability to assist trucking and logistics companies in reducing costs and increasing profitability, Ahern and Associates has developed a software platform which allows truckload carriers, LTL carriers and freight brokers to take a more hands on approach.
Financial I.Q. empowers all sizes of trucking and logistics companies with the ability to truly examine their bottom line and all of the factors that contribute to it. Unlike typical financial software, Financial I.Q. works directly off of the company profit and loss statement and balance sheet to provide the user with individual profit and loss statements for any variable or segment within the company’s operations. Once Financial I.Q. breaks down variables like revenue per mile, shipping points or fuel surcharges, the company is then able to take that data and make adjustments to significantly reduce costs and increase profitability.
In addition, the software provides for a “what if” analysis that can be used by the trucking company or freight broker to test any solution to a future issue that could potentially effect profitability. For example, a trucking company may want to explore the possibility of utilizing an unconventional route or a freight broker might want to test the viability of accepting a new shipping client.
Financial I.Q. fills a much needed void in the transportation industry at a time when fuel costs are soaring and profitability is declining. A.W. Ahern, CEO of Ahern and Associates explains, “What’s great about Financial I.Q. is its flexibility. The software is customizable to your business whether you’re a broker, truckload carrier or an LTL owner/operator; it provides the same keen insight and results that help you identify problems, fix them and become more profitable.”

Ahern and Associates introduces Financial I.Q. software to the transportation industry; provides bottom line relief and financial clarity.
Phoenix, AZ, June 8, 2009—Owners of trucking companies and freight brokerages across the nation that are feeling the brunt of today’s economic conditions now have the ability to right the ship with the help of Ahern and Associates’ new Financial I.Q. software. Long known for their ability to assist trucking and logistics companies in reducing costs and increasing profitability, Ahern and Associates has developed a software platform which allows truckload carriers, LTL carriers and freight brokers to take a more hands on approach.
Financial I.Q. empowers all sizes of trucking and logistics companies with the ability to truly examine their bottom line and all of the factors that contribute to it. Unlike typical financial software, Financial I.Q. works directly off of the company profit and loss statement and balance sheet to provide the user with individual profit and loss statements for any variable or segment within the company’s operations. Once Financial I.Q. breaks down variables like revenue per mile, shipping points or fuel surcharges, the company is then able to take that data and make adjustments to significantly reduce costs and increase profitability.
In addition, the software provides for a “what if” analysis that can be used by the trucking company or freight broker to test any solution to a future issue that could potentially effect profitability. For example, a trucking company may want to explore the possibility of utilizing an unconventional route or a freight broker might want to test the viability of accepting a new shipping client.
Financial I.Q. fills a much needed void in the transportation industry at a time when fuel costs are soaring and profitability is declining. A.W. Ahern, CEO of Ahern and Associates explains, “What’s great about Financial I.Q. is its flexibility. The software is customizable to your business whether you’re a broker, truckload carrier or an LTL owner/operator; it provides the same keen insight and results that help you identify problems, fix them and become more profitable.”
