UFO Truckers: a cost-per-mile check from the driver's seat

ufocpm.com Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A trucker-built worksheet and cockpit-style calculator for checking whether a freight load clears an operator's real cost floor.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The project centers on a cost floor rather than a generic dashboard: drivers enter their own figures, see the arithmetic, and compare a load against the resulting redline. The page attributes the method to Bill Ihrie, a Hickory, North Carolina owner-operator who reports 6.64 mpg and kept receipts by hand for twenty years. Additional features, including parking information and a load check, are explicitly separated from the tools that are currently working.
