Truck Cost Per Mile Calculator
Estimate your operating cost per mile from monthly miles and major truck expenses. Use it as a planning tool when setting rate targets or reviewing load profitability.
Monthly operating inputs
Know your floor
A load rate below your real cost per mile can lose money even when gross revenue looks strong.
Include deadhead
Use total operating miles, not only loaded miles, when estimating the real cost of a trip.
Review monthly
Fuel, maintenance, insurance, and finance costs move over time, so your CPM should be updated regularly.
