How to use these trucking calculators
Start with cost per mile. Almost every other number on this page, from the floor rate you counter with to the truck payment you can carry, is built on it. Then price loads against it, and come back monthly to update it. Every calculator labels its starting values as examples; replace them with your own before you rely on a result.
These are planning tools, not legal, tax or insurance advice, and the compliance tools are aids, not official records. When a rule matters, each page links the regulation and the date we checked it.
The numbers are yours. So is every load.
Our dispatchers price every offer against your floor. You approve each load, and the rate con comes straight to you.
4% for 2+ trucks, 5% for one, 7% while your MC is new
