The numbers that actually decide if you make money

Most owner-operators know their truck payment. Fewer know the three numbers that decide whether the work is worth it. Truepost is built around them.

1

Your real cost per mile

Everything the truck costs, divided by every mile you run, empty miles included. Most free calculators skip deadhead, which makes your cost look lower than it is.

2

Know before you haul

Run a load through a quick GO / NO-GO check before you book it, deadhead and fuel counted, so a rate that looks good can't quietly lose you money.

No more April surprise

A plain-English way to set aside the right amount for taxes and track what you can write off. We are not accountants, and the tools say so. They keep you organized for the pro who files.

Start free: what does it really cost you to run a mile?

Our cost-per-mile calculator does the math in about thirty seconds and counts your deadhead. No sign-up to use it, and it runs on your phone. It is the honest place to start.
