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.

How do service partners use HaulProfit?

Service partners provide HaulProfit free to their trucking clients. This helps clients make profitable decisions, survive their first year, and become long-term customers. Partners can white-label the platform with their branding.

Does HaulProfit work on load boards?

Yes. Our desktop app adds profitability badges directly into the major load boards you already use. You see green/yellow/red indicators next to each load without leaving the board.

What types of partners can use HaulProfit?

HaulProfit partners include service partners, fuel card providers, insurers, ELD providers, freight brokerages, and trucking associations. Any organization serving owner-operators can white-label HaulProfit as a value-add for their trucking clients.

FMCSA Announces Enhanced ELD Enforcement for 2026

New enforcement protocols and increased inspections are coming. Here's what truckers need to know to stay compliant.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has announced enhanced ELD enforcement protocols beginning in Q2 2026, with increased inspections and stricter penalties for non-compliance.

Key Changes

More Frequent Data Audits

FMCSA will implement random data audits of ELD records, comparing them against:

Fuel purchase locations and times
Toll records
Weigh station data

Increased Roadside Inspections

Targeted inspection campaigns will focus on:

HOS compliance patterns
ELD malfunction reporting
Unassigned driving time

Enhanced Penalties

Repeat offenders face:

Increased fine amounts
Longer out-of-service periods
Pattern investigation triggers

Compliance Checklist

Audit your own records - Look for discrepancies before FMCSA does
Address unassigned time - Assign all driving time to appropriate drivers
Document malfunctions - Keep paper logs ready and report issues properly
Train drivers - Ensure everyone understands HOS rules and ELD operation

Common Violations to Avoid

Driving during required rest period
False log entries
Failure to use ELD when required
Operating with malfunctioning ELD

What This Means for Your Bottom Line

Violations aren't just about fines. Consider:

Out-of-service time = lost revenue
CSA scores affecting insurance rates
Customer relationship damage
Potential authority issues

Pro tip: Build 15-30 minutes of buffer into your HOS planning. Cutting it close isn't worth the risk with enhanced enforcement coming.

Stay compliant, stay profitable.
