Check a load before you book it: rate per loaded mile, all-in RPM with deadhead, and what is left after fuel.
Filled with example values — replace them with your own numbers.

How it is calculated
- Loaded RPM = rate ÷ loaded miles.
- All-in RPM = rate ÷ (loaded miles + deadhead miles).
- Fuel cost = (loaded + deadhead miles) ÷ MPG × fuel price.
- Profit = rate − fuel cost − other costs.
- Cost per mile = (fuel cost + other costs) ÷ total miles.
“Other costs” is whatever you want to charge against this trip: tolls, lumper, driver pay, a share of truck payment and insurance. Leave out fixed costs to see the trip’s margin over fuel. Fuel tax by state is settled on your IFTA return; see the IFTA calculator.
freightline does this automatically from your ELD miles and fuel receipts
Miles by state come from your loads and ELD, gallons from fuel-card imports and receipts, and the quarter’s rates are already loaded. Try it on your own trucks free for 30 days, no credit card.
