You know your rate. Do you know your cost per mile?

Every owner-operator can quote the rate they got on the last load. Far fewer can say what that load actually COST to run — and the difference between those two numbers is whether the month worked. Most trucking spreadsheets on the market are bookkeeping-grade expense lists; this kit is built around the cost-per-mile engine instead. Log your loads (loaded miles, deadhead miles, gross), log your fill-ups (gallons, price), enter the fixed bills that arrive whether the truck moves or not, and the formulas do the rest: your fixed cost per mile at the monthly miles YOU expect to run, your fuel cost per mile and MPG straight from the logs, maintenance and tire escrows at rates you set, and the number it all adds up to — total cost per mile. From there it gets practical: your breakeven rate per LOADED mile at your actual deadhead percentage (deadhead doesn't pay, but it costs), the estimated profit on every load in the log, and a dashboard that names the loads that didn't pay for themselves. To be clear about what you're buying: a record-keeping and planning calculator — not tax, accounting, or DOT/IFTA compliance advice. It does no IFTA math; the fuel log keeps your receipts organized for your own IFTA process, and your accountant and compliance processes govern the official stuff.
