Break-Even Calculator for Trucking

Trucking companies face a cost-per-mile break-even calculation: fuel, maintenance, insurance, and driver pay are your biggest variable costs, while truck payments, permits, and base insurance are fixed. The industry average cost per mile is $1.50 to $2.00 for owner-operators, and your break-even rate per mile determines which loads are profitable. Fuel alone can account for 30 to 40% of total operating costs. This calculator is pre-filled with typical trucking benchmarks.
