KLT Profit, Before You Take the Load
A trucking calculator that tells owner-operators what a broker’s rate leaves after fuel, deadhead, truck costs, and dispatch.
- For
- Owner-operators and small trucking fleets
- Worth noticing
- It accounts for deadhead, truck standing costs, fuel at the carrier’s own MPG, and dispatcher percentage.
Field notes
The page models a Charlotte-to-Knoxville run at three different rates, holding miles, truck, and deadhead constant so the resulting verdicts can be compared directly. Its cost model includes the miles driven to reach pickup, carrier-specific MPG and diesel pricing, fixed expenses such as insurance and maintenance, and the dispatcher’s percentage. The site also describes separate owner and dispatcher views, plus document extraction from uploaded rate confirmations.
