## What is TruCost?

TruCost is a trip cost calculator built specifically for owner-operators and small fleet managers in the heavy haul and OTR trucking industry.


Know your true cost per mile before you accept a load. TruCost factors in fuel at current diesel prices, driver pay, carrier/broker cut, overhead, equipment depreciation, deadhead miles, and load/unload time — giving you a clear picture of whether a load is worth taking.


Built by someone with 30+ years in heavy haul — not a startup. TruCost reflects the real math that experienced operators use every day.


Features:
• Real-time diesel prices via EIA data
• Deadhead and loaded mile calculations
• Address-to-address mileage lookup
• Fully customizable setup defaults
• Works completely offline
• No account required. No ads. Free.
