Freight Profit Calculator

Every mile matters. Whether you're an owner-operator, leased-on driver, or managing a small fleet, accepting the wrong load can cost hundreds of dollars in fuel, maintenance, and lost opportunities.

Our Free Truck Load Profit Calculator helps you quickly estimate whether a load is worth hauling before you commit. Instead of relying only on the broker's offer, you can calculate your estimated profit, determine your rate per mile, estimate fuel expenses, and see a suggested counteroffer based on your operating costs.

Simply enter your loaded miles, offered rate, deadhead miles, fuel price, and truck fuel economy. Within seconds you'll receive an estimated load score, projected fuel cost, maintenance reserve, net profit estimate, and a recommended rate to negotiate with the broker. 

Our calculator includes deadhead miles so you can estimate their impact before making your decision.
