About these trucking tools
For owner-operators and small carriers, the difference between profit and loss is knowing your true cost per mile and never hauling a load below it. These free tools turn fuel, maintenance, payments, and fixed costs into the per-mile numbers you negotiate with.
Use the Cost Per Mile calculator to find your break-even rate, the Freight Rate calculator to check whether a specific load pays once deadhead miles are included, and the IFTA Fuel Tax calculator to estimate quarterly fuel tax by jurisdiction. Each runs in your browser so you can check a rate from the cab before you commit to a load.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my cost per mile?
Add up your fixed costs (truck payment, insurance, permits) and variable costs (fuel, maintenance, tires), then divide by the miles you run. The Cost Per Mile calculator walks you through it and returns a break-even rate.
Does the freight rate calculator account for deadhead?
Yes. It includes empty/deadhead miles so the rate per mile reflects the whole trip, not just the loaded portion — that's where thin loads quietly lose money.
Can I file the IFTA result directly?
It is an estimate to help you plan and check your numbers. File your official IFTA return through your base jurisdiction using your actual trip and fuel records.
