Calculator
Truck Trip Profit Calculator.
Enter freight and trip costs to see the trip margin, margin per km, and what the empty return does to it.
How it is calculated
Total km = loaded km × (1 + empty return %). Diesel = total km ÷ mileage × price. Margin = freight − diesel − tolls − driver − other. “If back-loaded” removes the empty return’s diesel. Vehicle EMI, insurance and maintenance are not included; add them per km for a full view. Read lane profitability.
Questions
How do I calculate profit on a truck trip?
Freight minus diesel (including the empty return), tolls, driver cost and other trip expenses.
Why include the empty return?
Because the truck burns diesel coming back; leaving it out makes one-way lanes look more profitable than they are.
