Industry benchmark: After ALL costs (fuel, truck payment, insurance, maintenance), profitable O/Os clear $0.80-1.50/km. Below $0.30/km you're working for free. If your company is giving you 72% and you're not clearing $0.50/km after costs — it's time to renegotiate or find a better carrier.
Pick how you get paid — percentage lease, per-mile, dispatch, or independent. Enter the load details and your truck costs. The calculator shows your real take-home after fuel AND fixed costs, not just the gross number. It accounts for deadhead miles (the unpaid drive to pickup), which most calculators ignore. Save your truck profile so you only enter load details next time. This tool replaces the old fuel cost calculator — fuel is already calculated inside every load analysis.
