$3.00 a mile looks fine, but 265 empty miles to reach it eat the money.

Example loads and example costs. Your costs are different. Not a promise of rates.

How we judge a load

Nobody runs a truck with zero empty miles. What we change is how big a share of the trip they are, and whether the rate pays for them. That's the call we make on every load.

Rates move with the lane, the season, your equipment and the market. Some weeks look better than this, some worse. Nobody can promise you a rate. What we commit to is the work: watching what the lanes actually pay, checking the market before we call, and pricing every load against your cost per mile.

We work out that cost per mile first (fuel, payments, insurance, permits, maintenance, your own pay). That number is the floor, and we don't book under it.

In your pocket

More money on every load.

Your numbers, not a quote

This calculator does arithmetic on the figures you enter. It is an estimate to help you find your own break-even — it is not a quote, not a market rate, and not a representation of what any load will pay. Real costs vary by truck, lane, season and market. City DD Logistics Inc. does not guarantee rates, load availability or earnings. Want a hand doing this properly with your real invoices? We'll sit down and work it out with you, whether you dispatch with us or not.
