How do I work out my trucking cost per mile?
Cost per mile is everything it costs to run your truck for a month divided by the miles you drove that month. Add the fixed costs (truck payment, insurance, permits) to the running costs (fuel, maintenance, driver pay, tolls), then divide by the miles. Any load that pays less per mile than this loses money.

Questions
What counts as a fixed cost?
Costs you pay whether the truck moves or not: truck and trailer payments, insurance, permits, ELD and phone plans, parking.
Should I include my own pay?
If you pay yourself a set amount per mile, put it in driver pay per mile. If you keep what’s left, leave it at 0: the result is then the cost before your pay.
Can Tovarlo track this for me?
Yes. Tovarlo’s reports show revenue, costs and profit by truck, load, customer and month from your loads, expenses and fuel.
