Know What a Load Pays Before You Haul It.

A trucking rate per mile calculator for hotshots and owner-operators

TRUE RPM helps you evaluate a freight load before accepting it. Enter the amount paid, loaded miles, deadhead miles, diesel price, and truck fuel economy to estimate gross rate per mile and trip fuel cost.

Include the miles and fees that affect your load

Gross True RPM is the amount paid divided by loaded miles plus deadhead miles. Fuel estimates use total trip miles, truck fuel economy, and the fuel price you enter. Optional leased-on carrier shares, dispatch fees, and factoring fees each use the original amount paid, not a reduced balance.

Possible profit is an estimate after the expenses included in your selected calculator. True RPM 2.0 also offers maintenance reserves, insurance allocation, and optional truck-payment allocation. Gross rate per mile stays separate from these expenses.

Start without an account. Switch between True RPM Unlimited and True RPM 2.0 during your trial; both versions share the same five free calculations. Switching versions does not use a calculation. Paid subscriptions are available for continued unlimited use.

Estimates are not guaranteed earnings or accounting records. Route mileage is not truck-safe navigation. Verify truck restrictions before driving.
