Price loads, know your true cost per mile, and stop leaving money on the table — with the same calculators our dispatchers use every day. Free, no signup, instant results.
No login. No signup. Just fast, accurate calculators that owner-operators and fleets actually use to price loads, cut costs, and protect every mile — built by the dispatch team at Loadboot.
Know exactly what a load nets you before you accept it.
The number every dispatcher quotes. Is the rate any good?
Rule of thumb: under ~$1.80/mi rarely covers costs; $2.50+ is healthy for most dry van.
Your true cost to turn a wheel — the foundation of every rate.
Fixed = truck payment, insurance, permits. Any rate below your cost-per-mile loses money.
Fuel cost for any lane in seconds.
The lowest rate you can accept and still hit your margin.
Don’t book below this number. Plug your cost-per-mile in from the calculator above.
What actually lands in your pocket after every cost.
At a flat 5%, Loadboot only earns when we book you a paying load.
Stuck at the dock? Here’s what they owe you.
Always get detention in writing on the rate con. We handle the claim for you.
Empty miles quietly eat your rate. See the real number.
Every profitable trucking business runs on a few simple numbers: what a load pays, what it actually costs to run those miles, and what is left over for you. The free calculators above put all of them in one place — no spreadsheet, no signup — so you can make a confident call on any load in seconds.
The load profit calculator and rate-per-mile calculator answer the first question every owner-operator asks: is this load worth it? Drop in the rate, the miles, and your fuel numbers, and you instantly see your net profit and your true dollars-per-mile — before you ever call the broker back.
Your cost per mile is the single most important number in your business, and most drivers underestimate it. Once you know it, the break-even rate calculator tells you the lowest rate you can accept and still hit your target margin — so you never haul cheap freight by accident.
Diesel is the biggest variable cost on the road, so the fuel cost calculator helps you price any lane in seconds. The owner-operator take-home calculator shows what really lands in your pocket after fuel and fees, the detention pay calculator tells you what a shipper owes for wasting your day, and the deadhead calculator reveals how empty miles quietly shrink your real rate.
