Hot Shot cost & profit calculator

Profit per load = rate minus (fuel + maintenance + fees + share of fixed costs), counting deadhead miles. Move the sliders to see cost per mile and break-even rate instantly.

How to use it

Count deadhead miles: they cost fuel and wear but don’t pay. Spread monthly fixed costs (truck and trailer payments, insurance, ELD) across all miles you run. Compare the break-even rate with the load-board offer before accepting.
