How to Calculate Cost Per Mile for Trucking (Free Demo)

What does one mile cost you? Cost per mile is all your costs divided by all your miles, loaded and empty. The LaneTally Cost per mile menu shows it for each carrier, either from the numbers you type or from your own delivered loads and books, and then uses it in the Worth it check when you add a load. This how-to walks through the whole menu: the typed numbers, the cost of each driver and each team, Edit costs and miles, From LaneTally (last 90 days, this month, this year), what you see when a carrier keeps its books private, what the carrier owner sees, the Worth it check on a new load, and the phone.

Independent truck dispatchers, small dispatch companies and small carriers (owner-operators and small fleet owners) who want to know what a mile costs before they book a load. It is also useful for carrier owners who work with a dispatcher and want to see the same number. About LaneTally: it is in beta, and the demo uses example data that stays in your browser. LaneTally gives information only. It is not tax, legal or financial advice: check with your accountant. The cost per mile you see comes from what you type or from your own loads and books. A carrier decides whether its dispatcher can see its books; when a carrier keeps them private, LaneTally does not read them for you.
