Revenue ton miles RTM

Transportation Term

Revenue ton miles (RTM) is a standard and widely used measurement in the transportation industry. RTM is a metric that represents the volume of cargo that a transportation company carries over a specified period. The RTM measure is calculated by multiplying the weight of cargo transported by the distance traveled.

For example, if a transportation company carries 10,000 tons of cargo over a distance of 100 miles, then its RTM for that trip would be 1,000,000 RTM (10,000 x 100).

RTM is used as a key performance indicator (KPI) in the transportation industry as it helps companies to measure their efficiency and profitability. By tracking their RTM, companies can analyze their performance over a given period and make adjustments accordingly. RTM is also used by customers to compare the cost-effectiveness of different transportation options.

RTM is especially critical for the railroad industry, where it is a standard measure of performance and profitability. Railroad companies use RTM to monitor their operations across different routes and allocate their resources effectively. Railroad companies also use RTM to price their services and negotiate with customers and suppliers.

Overall, RTM is an important tool in the transportation industry as it helps companies and customers to assess efficiency, profitability, and cost-effectiveness.
