UFO Truckers: A Cost Check Before the Load
United Freight Operators offers truck drivers a free, no-account cost-per-mile worksheet and a cockpit-style check for deciding whether a load clears their operating floor.
Field notes
The project turns an owner-operator’s handwritten cost arithmetic into two interfaces: a plain worksheet and a truck-glass cockpit that marks the driver’s operating floor. The page identifies Bill Ihrie, his Hickory, North Carolina base, USDOT number, and stated 6.64 mpg figure. It also separates working tools from proposals: load checking, parking information, memberships, the Flight Deck, and video features are described as designed but not built.
