Run your truck like a business -- finally know your true cost per mile, and take only the loads that beat it.

You haul the freight, pay for the diesel, and watch the settlements come in -- but do you actually know which loads made money and which ones cost you to run? "Two dollars a mile" sounds fine until you remember the truck payment, insurance, tires, the repair that is coming, IFTA, factoring fees, and the empty deadhead miles nobody pays you for. The number that matters -- your COST PER MILE -- is buried, so every load is a guess.

This is a simple app that does that math for you, then scores every load offer against it. It is one file that opens in your browser -- no login, no Excel, no monthly fee -- with nine connected screens built around how an owner-operator actually makes or loses money.

WHAT IT DOES -- NINE TOOLS IN ONE FILE:

- Cost-Per-Mile Setter -- the heart of it. Enter your fixed monthly costs (truck payment or lease, insurance, permits/IRP, ELD, parking, phone) and your per-mile running costs (diesel and MPG, tires, maintenance, DEF, tolls), plus your monthly miles and deadhead percent. It hands you your ALL-IN cost per loaded mile -- deadhead-adjusted, because you only get paid for loaded miles -- the breakeven rate every load has to beat.

- Load / Rate Evaluator -- punch in a load: lane, loaded miles, deadhead miles, linehaul rate, fuel surcharge. It computes total miles, gross, estimated fuel cost, net, rate per mile, net per mile, and your profit per mile against your own cost per mile, with a clear ACCEPT / THIN / PASS verdict. One tap saves it to your trip log.

- Trip Log -- a week or month of loads in one table: date, lane, broker, loaded vs deadhead miles, rate, rate per mile, net per mile, and status (Booked / Delivered / Paid). The totals row gives you total miles, deadhead percent, average rate per mile, revenue, net, and loads still awaiting payment.

- Settlement Tracker -- what each broker or factoring company actually pays: gross, dispatch percent, factoring percent, advances, and your real net deposit, with Paid / Unpaid / Overdue flagged so you know who still owes you.

- Fuel & IFTA Log -- log every fuel stop by state (gallons, dollars, miles), and it works out your MPG and a per-jurisdiction miles + gallons summary to make your quarterly IFTA filing far easier.

- Profit Projector -- loads per week times average miles times your average rate per mile, minus your cost per mile, projected to a weekly, monthly, and annual net, with your gross, your miles, your margin per mile, and an estimated tax set-aside.

- Brokers & Customers -- a simple directory of brokers, factoring companies, and direct shippers with MC numbers, contacts, pay terms, and lane notes.

- Print -- a clean, branded cost-per-mile rate sheet or load / rate confirmation you can print or save as a PDF.

- Dashboard -- net, margin, your average rate per mile against your cost per mile, deadhead percent, what you are owed, and an estimated tax set-aside, all on one screen.

FAQ
- Does it calculate cost per mile? Yes -- that is the heart of it. Your fixed and per-mile costs become one all-in, deadhead-adjusted cost per mile, and every load is scored against it.
- Do I need to install anything or buy Excel? No. One HTML file opens in any browser. No login, no Excel, no app store.
- Does it help with IFTA? It logs fuel by state and builds a per-jurisdiction miles + gallons summary so quarterly filing is far easier. It organizes your records; it does not file for you.
- Will it do my taxes? No. It estimates a tax set-aside so you can plan, but it is not tax advice. As an owner-operator you deduct your actual truck costs, so your truck miles live in the Trip Log for cost-per-mile, not as a mileage deduction -- confirm your situation with a pro.
- Is there a subscription? No. Buy once, use forever, on as many of your own devices as you like.
- Where does my data live? On your device, in your browser. Private by default, with one-click backup and restore.
