Stop guessing if a load is profitable. Plug in your fixed and variable costs once, then check any rate confirmation in seconds: this load makes me $X after fuel, maintenance, dispatch, and tax — or it doesn't. Built for owner-operators who run the numbers, not the gut. — WHAT LOADMATH DOES — - Real cost per mile. Truck and trailer insurance, payments, ELD, parking, accounting, phone — plus fuel, DEF, maintenance, tires, repairs. Set them once. LoadMath calculates the fixed and variable cost per mile that every load actually has to beat. - Load calculator. Type the rate, total miles, and deadhead. Get net profit, profit per mile, all-in rate per mile, break-even RPM, and daily profit before you accept the load. - Dispatch fee handled both ways. Flat dollar amount or percentage — toggle whichever way your dispatcher charges. - Deadhead-aware math. The empty miles to the pickup are factored into your fuel cost and your real rate per mile. No more loads that look great on paper and lose money in the cab. - Tax estimate built in. Set your tax rate once and every load shows what you should set aside. - Logbook. Every load you save lands in a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly logbook with totals: net profit, miles, fuel, tax. - Goals. Set weekly profit, weekly miles, monthly profit targets. Track progress on the dashboard. — DOCUMENTS & EXPORTS (PREMIUM) — - Document scanner. Scan BOLs, PODs, rate confirmations, and receipts straight into each load. Edge detection, multi-page, color or B&W — the same scanner as Apple Notes, built right in. - Send All. One tap to email a broker every document for a load as a single PDF. - PDF tax report. Yearly profit-and-loss report ready for your accountant, factoring company, or lender. - CSV export. Open your full load history in Excel, Google Sheets, or hand to a bookkeeper. — BUILT-IN, NOT BOLTED-ON — - Works offline. Your data stays on your phone. - English, Español, Türkçe, Русский. - No ads. No tracking. No sign-up. — WHO IT'S FOR — Owner-operators. Small fleet owners. Lease purchase drivers. Anyone who wants to stop wondering if last week made money and start knowing. — PREMIUM — The first 50 loads are free. Premium unlocks unlimited loads, PDF reports, CSV exports, and document scanning. One-time purchase or subscription — your choice.
