# HaulProfit - Complete Platform Documentation
> Cross-border trucking profitability platform for US, Mexico & Canada
> This is the comprehensive LLM context file. For a summary, see /llms.txt

## Company Overview

HaulProfit is a SaaS platform that helps truckers instantly determine if a load is profitable before accepting it. Using a simple "traffic light" system (green/yellow/red), drivers see at-a-glance whether a load will make money, break even, or lose money based on their actual operating costs.

HaulProfit serves three distinct audiences:
1. **Truckers** — Owner-operators and small fleets (2-25 trucks)
2. **Partners** — Service partners, fuel card providers, insurers, ELD providers, freight brokerages, and trucking associations
3. **Data Buyers** — Freight platforms, financial services, and insurers seeking trucking intelligence data

### Mission
Help every trucker know their profit before they haul. We build the most accessible profitability platform for cross-border trucking in the US-Mexico-Canada corridor.

## Product: For Truckers (Owner-Operators & Small Fleets)

### Core Calculator
The HaulProfit calculator is the central product. A trucker enters:
- **Load rate** (total dollars offered for the haul)
- **Total miles** (including deadhead/empty miles)

The system instantly returns a traffic-light decision:
- **GREEN** = Profitable load. Rate exceeds the trucker's total cost per mile plus their target profit margin.
- **YELLOW** = Marginal load. Covers variable costs (fuel, tolls) but may not fully cover fixed costs (truck payment, insurance).
- **RED** = Unprofitable load. Rate is below the trucker's break-even cost per mile; hauling this load loses money.

### 24 Cost Variables
HaulProfit's cost model is built on 24 cost variables, seeded with ATRI (American Transportation Research Institute) industry-research defaults so truckers get realistic numbers from day one, then dialed in with their own actual costs. The variables are organized into categories:

#### Fuel & Efficiency
1. Fuel price per gallon
2. Fuel efficiency (MPG)
3. Weather MPG impact

#### Per-Mile Costs
4. Maintenance per mile
5. Tires per mile
6. Tolls (route-based)
7. Deadhead (empty) miles

#### Fixed Monthly Costs
8. Truck payment / lease
9. Trailer payment / lease
10. Truck insurance
11. Health insurance
12. Permits & registration
13. ELD subscription
14. Parking / yard fees
15. Accounting / bookkeeping
16. Other monthly costs

#### Pay & Fees
17. Driver pay type (owner, per-mile, percentage, flat, per-load, salary)
18. Driver pay amount
19. Factoring rate
20. Dispatch fee

#### Utilization & Equipment
21. Company overhead per day
22. Working days per month
23. Miles per day
24. Equipment class

### Break-Even RPM
Break-even RPM (Rate Per Mile) is the minimum rate a trucker needs to cover ALL operating costs. It is calculated as:

Break-Even RPM = (Total Monthly Fixed Costs / Estimated Monthly Miles) + Variable Cost Per Mile

Any load paying below the break-even RPM loses money. HaulProfit calculates this automatically from the trucker's cost profile.

### Desktop App (Chrome Extension)
The HaulProfit desktop app is a Chrome extension that injects profitability badges directly into load board websites. Supported boards include 17 major load boards across freight marketplaces, brokerage portals, and shipper platforms.

Each load on the board gets a colored badge (green/yellow/red) showing its profitability based on the trucker's cost profile. No manual entry required — the extension reads the load details automatically.

### Voice Commands
Truckers can speak load details instead of typing. Voice commands work in all 6 supported languages:
- English
- Spanish (Español)
- French (Français)
- Arabic (العربية) — with full RTL interface support
- Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ)
- Haitian Creole (Kreyòl Ayisyen)

Example voice command: "Rate twelve hundred dollars, miles four fifty" → instantly calculates profitability.

### Cross-Border Routing
HaulProfit has a comprehensive cities database covering:
- **376,000+ cities** across the United States, Mexico, and Canada
- Major border crossings: Laredo, El Paso, Tijuana, Nogales, Detroit, Buffalo, Montreal, Toronto
- Automatic GPS location detection for deadhead calculations
- Cross-border permit and toll cost awareness

### GPS & Location
- Automatic detection of driver's current location
- Deadhead mile calculation from current position to pickup
- Fuel price awareness by region

## Product: For Partners

You already pay to win carriers. What if more chose you, more stayed in business, and more stayed with you? Start with book size and explore five-year contribution after included costs. Effects are hypothetical, not proven.

**Could a useful benefit win more relationships from the same acquisition effort?**
Introduce load comparison to a prospect before asking for business. Compare a defined acquisition period's spend and distinct recruits with an editable additional-acquisition case.
The public fictional comparison demonstrates a carrier workflow. Public plan material identifies Scale / Premier / Enterprise branding eligibility; lower tiers retain HaulProfit. A text preview is not an approved surface render.
Lower CAC, more recruits and additional contribution have not been demonstrated. Six supported languages do not establish six effective channels.
Will this audience find the benefit useful, recognize the sponsor and choose the offer? Actual branding surfaces and native-language approval remain open.

**Can we make a credible recruitment and renewal conversation, without promising loyalty?**
Demonstrate a fictional load comparison to a prospect; at renewal, ask whether repeat use of a sponsor-recognized benefit matters when considering a competitor.
The carrier example shows comparison behavior, not commercial conversion. Plan-dependent branding can be reviewed publicly; actual intended-surface approval is still required.
Renewal uplift, fewer competitive departures, longer tenure and recruitment conversion remain unproven. Branding does not establish loyalty or exclusivity.
Can we identify exposed relationships and a credible renewal baseline? A small group of users cannot silently explain a large total-book effect.

**Could more customers and longer relationships cover the full cost?**
Compare today's business with your own assumptions for new customers and longer relationships over one to five years. Also test no improvement and a worse result, including when customers join or leave.
The worksheet lets you change assumptions and inspect program prices. It calculates a scenario, not actual earnings or a personal quote.
More earnings, longer customer relationships and improved business survival are goals to test, not observed results. Covering the cost does not prove that HaulProfit caused a gain.
Can Finance support the earnings assumptions, customer groups, timing and payment schedule? Do the no-improvement and lower-participation cases include every cost without counting a benefit twice?

**Can we govern the selected deployment without assuming integrations or assurance?**
Review standalone web access first; assess mobile, extension permissions or authorized partner-push reports only if the evaluation needs them.
The public trust page describes controls and evidence requests. The public deployment workbook distinguishes required web access from optional channels. Public documentation is not independently assured scope.
Independent assurance, installation, buyer-specific integration, retention periods, recovery and service commitments are not established by public controls. Eventual FIN depends on qualifying lawful participation and coverage.
Where are the dated assessor scope, exceptions, expiry, field inventory, retention/deletion schedule and subprocessor artifacts? They are unavailable in this public material.

**Are the proposed claims, permitted uses and governing terms acceptable?**
Review one acquisition or renewal message against product evidence, lawful data use and the actual applicable agreement before approving the evaluation.
Public privacy, terms and partner agreement materials are available to inspect. The public trust page describes controls; it supplies no independently assured buyer scope or retention artifact.
No profit, retention, compliance substitution, fraud prevention or claim-savings outcome is established. Public examples do not amend signed terms.
Scoped retention, consent and assurance artifacts are unavailable here. Actual original dates, conditions and request process need clause review: the 60-day activation deadline never resets; conditional 90-day protection is not an automatic refund or free pilot.

## Product: Data Products & Intelligence Network

### Two Intelligence Surfaces — Do Not Conflate

Map selected fields, authorized actors, access and deletion responsibilities. Partner push requires sender, format, matching and freshness evidence; no portal credentials or system-pull permission is implied.

Map claim → dated source → intended surface → translated meaning. Confirm consent, exact data fields, retention/deletion responsibilities and executed agreement clauses. Partner retains credit, underwriting, fraud and customer decisions; FIN is eventual and qualification/contribution/coverage-dependent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### General

**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.

**How do I compare two loads side by side?**
Compare net profit, not rate per mile. Score both loads with the same cost model — fuel at your truck's MPG, deadhead miles to each pickup, tolls, maintenance, and fixed overhead — and book the one with the higher net profit per mile after deadhead. HaulProfit's load comparison calculator (https://haulprofit.com/compare-loads) applies 24 cost variables to each load in seconds.

**Is this load worth it? How do I check for free?**
Use HaulProfit's free load profit calculator — no signup required. Enter the rate, loaded miles, and deadhead, adjust fuel price, MPG, and per-mile costs, and get net profit, rate per mile, and a profitable / break-even / losing verdict in seconds. It uses conservative industry-average defaults and 5 of the 24 cost variables the full HaulProfit engine models. Try it at https://haulprofit.com/load-profit-calculator.

**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 accurate is the profitability calculation?**
As accurate as your cost profile. HaulProfit uses your actual numbers — not industry averages. The more precisely you enter your costs, the more accurate the green/yellow/red decision. Most users find it accurate within 2-3% of actual profitability.

### Desktop App

**Does HaulProfit work on load boards?**
Yes. Our desktop app (Chrome extension) injects profitability badges directly into 17 major load boards. You see green/yellow/red indicators next to each load without leaving the board.

**Which load boards are supported?**
17 major load boards across freight marketplaces, brokerage portals, and shipper platforms. We add new boards regularly.

**Does the extension slow down load boards?**
No. The extension is optimized for minimal performance impact. Calculations happen locally and only add small badge overlays to existing load listings.
