How does HaulProfit calculate if a load is profitable?

HaulProfit compares the load's rate per mile against your true cost per mile, which includes fuel, truck payment, insurance, maintenance, permits, and driver pay. If the rate exceeds your costs plus profit margin, you get green. If it covers variable costs but not fixed, you get yellow. If it loses money, you get red.

What is break-even RPM?

Break-even RPM (Rate Per Mile) is the minimum rate you need to cover all your operating costs. It's calculated from your true cost per mile including fuel, payments, insurance, maintenance, and other expenses. Any load paying below this rate loses you money.
