What the Tow Cost Workbook Helps You Do

The workbook turns course concepts into a repeatable cost review using information available from your dispatch and accounting records.

  • Calculate your effective labor rate using productive call time from dispatch data—not every paid hour as though it were productive.

  • Calculate truck cost per productive hour and variable truck cost per mile.

  • Combine labor, truck, mileage, and overhead to estimate the full cost of each service type.

Course Enrollment Includes Both Workbooks

Learn the method first. Then calculate the cost of your own calls.

Enrollment in KAPS Applied Business Tools: What Does a Tow Really Cost? includes the printable Tow Cost Workbook, the automated Excel Tow Cost Calculator, and a completed towing-company example. The course teaches where every number comes from, including how to use dispatch data to determine productive labor time. This calculator estimates cost; management must still decide the right price. For company-wide financial analysis and implementation support, continue to the KAPS Initial Analysis & Financial Foundations Course.
