Load Profit Calculator

Check load profitability before you accept. Your truck profile holds your standing costs, so on each load you enter the pay, pickup, and delivery to see net profit, profit per mile and per day, and your break-even rate.

This is a demo with an example

You're viewing an example. The trial opens every tool and the full dashboard. 30 days free on Diamond. No card needed. After 30 days, pick a paid plan to keep using DueHaul. Until you pick a plan, your account pauses. Your saved info stays put, but the tools go back to examples and reminder emails stop. Nothing is charged when your trial ends.

Load pay type
$
What the load pays, before any extras.

Pay math is an estimate from what you enter. It is not payroll, a settlement, or advice about what to pay or charge.

Driver pay

Pay math is an estimate from what you enter. It is not payroll, a settlement, or advice about what to pay or charge.

Example: 900 loaded mi, 75 deadhead mi, 2 trip days, diesel $6.000/gal, 1 CAT weigh. Fuel, tolls, and scales come from the route on your own loads.

Miles and drive time are truck routing estimates, not a guaranteed truck route. Always follow posted signs and your truck GPS.
