A good order to use them

  2. Business profit next, to see how many loads a week the truck needs.
  3. Load profit and pallets on every offer, before you say yes.

What they can't do

They are estimates from the numbers you enter, not financial, tax or legal advice. Rates and costs change, so rerun them when fuel, insurance or your lanes change. The box truck guides explain the rules and costs behind each input.

Tired of running the numbers on every posting? That is the daily work of a box truck dispatcher, and ours does it for 26 ft box trucks.

Put a dispatcher on your box truck

7% of gross for one truck, 6% for 2+ trucks (limited-time). No setup fee, month-to-month, 30 days notice to cancel. If you don't haul, you don't pay.
