Know your cost per mile. Then stop waiting to get paid for it.

Your numbers, your cost per mile.
Work in monthly figures. Not sure of an amount? Use your best estimate and adjust as you go. Your operating cost per mile updates as you type.
Estimates only, based on the figures you enter. Actual cost per mile varies by route, equipment, fuel prices, and utilization. Not financial advice.
Three costs decide every load.
Cost per mile is your total monthly cost divided by the miles you run. Split it three ways and it tells you exactly what a load has to pay.
Costs that do not move
Truck and trailer payments, insurance, permits, and licensing. You owe these whether the truck rolls or sits, so idle weeks push your cost per mile up fast.
Costs that follow the miles
Fuel, maintenance, tires, tolls. These rise with every mile you run, and fuel is usually the single biggest line. A fuel card that cuts the per-gallon price moves this number directly.
The rate you cannot go below
Add driver pay and your total cost per mile is your break-even rate. Any load below it loses money. The gap above it is your margin, and cash flow decides how fast you can use it.
Knowing your margin is step one. Getting paid for it is step two.
You can run every load above your break-even rate and still park the truck, because the money is stuck in a 30+ day invoice. Freight factoring closes that gap: Integra pays your invoice amount, less a small fee, the same day you submit load paperwork before the 1 PM CT cutoff. Not a loan, no waiting on the broker.
Every fee appears in writing on your term sheet before you sign. No volume minimums. The quote is free.
