Owner-operators often know their gross and their fuel bill, but not the true weekly profit. Running the same numbers every week shows which weeks and lanes actually pay.
Take out every cost
- Fuel and tolls for the week.
- Dispatch and factoring fees, which are percentages of gross.
- Weekly share of the truck payment, insurance and permits.
- A maintenance reserve per mile.
Watch per mile
Profit per mile lets you compare short and long weeks fairly.
Our weekly truck profit calculator runs it in a minute.
