Trucking load comparison tool

Two offers on the table and one truck? Enter each load and see which one leaves you the most money, per load, per mile and per day, before you accept.

Your truck and costs

Fixed costs plus maintenance and tires per mile. Get it from the cost per mile calculator (fixed costs per mile + maintenance per mile).

Fill in two or three offers. Leave a load empty to skip it.

Profit is what is left for your pay and the business, before taxes. A load with the most profit may also keep the truck busy longest, so look at profit per day too. The starting values are only an example, not an industry average. This is not tax or financial advice. Confirm with a licensed professional before acting on these numbers.

How to compare loads

  1. Fill in your truck once. Miles per gallon, diesel price, your dispatcher or factoring fee, and your truck costs per mile without fuel.
  2. Add each offer. What it pays, the loaded miles, the empty miles to get there or back, tolls and other costs, and the days it will take.
  3. Read the table. The load with the most profit is highlighted. Below the big result you also see which load is best per mile and which is best per day.

With the starting values, Load C leaves the most money in total ($1,228), but Load B is best per mile ($1.92) and best per day ($863). They are example numbers, not a prediction.

Why the best load is not always the same

A long load can leave the most money in total and still be the worst per day if it keeps the truck busy for three days. A short load can be best per day, but leave less in your pocket in total. Looking at all three numbers helps you choose with your own plans for the week in mind.

Know your numbers first

Find your truck cost per mile with the cost per mile calculator. To check a single offer in more detail, use the load profit calculator.

Frequently asked questions

Can I compare only two loads?

Yes. Leave the third load empty (pay at 0) and it is skipped.

What if I do not know how many days a load takes?

Leave the days empty. You will still see profit per load and per mile, and the per-day numbers will show a dash.
