Frequently Asked Questions

Should I use profit per mile driven or per loaded mile?
Profit per mile driven is the most accurate because it includes deadhead. Profit per loaded mile is helpful for comparing offers, but can hide deadhead costs.
What is break-even RPM on loaded miles?
It’s the RPM you need on paid (loaded) miles to cover your costs for all miles driven, including deadhead and extra fees.
What if my CPM already includes tolls?
If tolls/fees are already in your CPM, leave tolls & fees at $0 to avoid double-counting.
