Truck payload, operating cost and axle calculators

Compare vehicle, trailer and combination ratings against measured ready weights.

Inputs: Truck gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), Measured ready-to-load truck weight, Vehicle configuration, Trailer gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), and 3 more
Results: Remaining payload under entered vehicle ratings

Estimate two axle-group reactions from measured baseline loads and cargo positions.

Inputs: Added load at this position, Load center behind the front axle group, Distance between front and rear axle-group support planes, Measured front axle-group baseline, and 3 more
Results: Estimated front/rear reactions and rating headroom

Estimate gallons and fuel cost from entered road miles and observed miles per gallon (MPG) by leg.

Inputs: Miles in this trip segment, Observed fuel economy (miles per U.S. gallon), Fuel price (USD per U.S. gallon)
Results: Fuel gallons, trip cost and cost per mile

Allocate a period’s fixed and variable operating costs across total and loaded miles.

Inputs: Fixed costs for the same accounting period (USD), Loaded miles in this period, Empty / reposition miles in this period, Observed fleet fuel economy (miles per U.S. gallon), and 2 more
Results: Period cost per total mile and loaded mile

Compare a paid return load with the entered empty-return alternative and fully allocated cost.

Inputs: Empty-return alternative miles, Empty-return observed MPG, Return miles with the offered backhaul, Loaded return observed MPG, and 7 more
Results: Incremental/full-cost break-even and offer margins

Compare measured axle weights with the federal Interstate bridge-formula baseline.

Check the general-rule tiedown count and credited aggregate working load limit (WLL).

Inputs: Tiedowns of this type, Marked working load limit (WLL) per tiedown, Attachment path, Cargo article length, and 2 more
Results: Minimum tiedown count and credited aggregate working load limit
