What Actually Drives Your Rate
Four things move commercial pricing more than anything else. First, total recurring volume, because the more you send consistently the lower the per-unit cost. Second, predictability, because a standing weekly stop is cheaper to serve than sporadic calls. Third, route position, because a business clustered near other accounts we already serve costs less to reach. Fourth, textile type, because standard cotton towels and sheets process differently than specialty or oversized items. We will tell you which of these are working for you and which are working against you.
