A Better View of Every Mile.
Count Empty Miles
Deadhead miles use fuel and time. Include them to calculate yield across the full trip.
Include Your Expenses
Add fuel, tolls, dispatch fees, and other costs to understand how much revenue remains.
Compare Your Options
Use consistent assumptions when comparing loads with different rates, distances, and pickup locations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this calculator show guaranteed profit?
No. Results are estimates based on the information you enter. Actual mileage, fuel consumption, expenses, and payments may differ.
Should I include deadhead miles?
Yes. Include the empty miles associated with the trip so your calculation reflects the total distance driven.
Are all business costs included?
Only the costs entered are included. Add any relevant expenses under Other Trip Costs, and account separately for costs you have not included.
What is the difference between yield and profit per mile?
Gross yield measures revenue per total mile. Profit per mile subtracts your entered expenses from revenue before dividing by total miles.
Does a higher yield always mean a better load?
A higher yield alone does not determine suitability. Consider total expenses, loading and unloading time, scheduling, equipment requirements, and your next available move.
