# 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.

### 47 Cost Factors
HaulProfit's cost model is the most comprehensive in the industry. The 47 cost factors are organized into categories:

#### Fixed Costs (Monthly)
1. Truck payment / lease
2. Truck insurance (liability)
3. Truck insurance (physical damage)
4. Truck insurance (cargo)
5. Truck insurance (bobtail)
6. Health insurance
7. Life / disability insurance
8. Trailer payment / lease
9. Trailer insurance
10. License & registration fees
11. IFTA filing costs
12. IRP (International Registration Plan)
13. UCR (Unified Carrier Registration)
14. BOC-3 filing
15. Drug & alcohol testing
16. ELD subscription
17. Accounting / bookkeeping
18. Cell phone / data plan
19. Parking / yard fees
20. Association dues
21. Legal / compliance

#### Variable Costs (Per Mile)
22. Fuel cost per gallon
23. Fuel efficiency (MPG)
24. DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid)
25. Oil changes
26. Tire replacement
27. Tire repairs
28. Brake maintenance
29. Engine maintenance
30. Transmission maintenance
31. Electrical / lighting
32. HVAC / heating
33. Suspension / alignment
34. Preventive maintenance
35. Roadside assistance
36. Towing reserve
37. Tolls (average per mile)
38. Scale fees
39. Lumper fees
40. Detention time cost
41. Deadhead percentage
42. Driver pay (if not owner)
43. Meals & per diem
44. Lodging
45. Cargo securement (straps, tarps)
46. Permits (oversize/overweight)
47. Miscellaneous / reserve

### 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 load boards include:
- DAT One / DAT Power
- Truckstop.com
- 123Loadboard
- Direct Freight
- Convoy
- Uber Freight
- Amazon Relay
- CH Robinson Navisphere
- And 43+ additional load boards (51+ total)

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.

- **376,000+ cities** across the United States, Mexico, and Canada
- Major border crossings: Laredo, El Paso, Tijuana, Nogales, Detroit, Buffalo, Montreal, Toronto

## 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.

**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 DAT, Truckstop, and 51+ other major load boards. You see green/yellow/red indicators next to each load without leaving the board.

**Which load boards are supported?**
DAT One, DAT Power, Truckstop.com, 123Loadboard, Direct Freight, Convoy, Uber Freight, Amazon Relay, CH Robinson, and 43+ additional boards. 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.

### Partners

**What types of partners can use HaulProfit?**
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.

**How do partners benefit?**
Partners reduce client churn, improve client survival rates, differentiate from competitors, and gain portfolio intelligence. Clients who use profitability tools make better decisions and are more likely to stay with their partner.

**Can partners customize the branding?**
Yes. Premier and above tiers get full white-label branding — your logo, your colors, your domain. Growth tier gets co-branded (HaulProfit + partner logo).

**How does the 30-day trial work?**
Partners get full access to all features including white-label branding and complete insights for 30 days. No credit card required. Experience everything before committing to a paid tier.

### Data Products

**What data products does HaulProfit offer?**
Lane rate indexes, cost-per-mile benchmarks, freight market signals, broker payment intelligence, regional risk scores, demographic market intelligence, and fleet analytics. Available via API or bulk licensing.

**How is the data collected?**
Data is aggregated and anonymized from thousands of active owner-operators using the HaulProfit platform. All data is aggregated — no individual trucker data is ever shared.

**How fresh is the data?**
Depending on the product: real-time (API), daily (most indexes), or weekly (benchmarks). Historical data goes back to platform inception.

**How does data licensing work?**
Custom packages based on geography, data type, volume, and use case. Contact data@haulprofit.com for pricing and custom arrangements.

### Voice Commands

**What languages does the voice command feature support?**
Voice commands work in English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Punjabi, and Haitian Creole. Just speak your load details and the calculator automatically processes them in your language.

**How do voice commands work?**
Tap the microphone icon (or use the keyboard shortcut) and speak naturally. For example: "Rate two thousand dollars, miles six hundred." The system parses your speech and calculates profitability automatically.
