TruckIt takes load board listings and turns them into real profit-or-loss decisions in seconds — using actual fuel prices along your route, real truck tolls, and your personal operating costs.
See How It Works ↓“We look at load boards and they give us details like CPM, distance, origin and destination. The pay varies wildly and it’s tough to decide which is going to be the best option. It would be great to plug that into an app and see what the real profit would be.”
Load boards show pay, miles, and CPM. But that's the gross number. It doesn't account for the real costs that eat into every trip. Here's what's missing:
Diesel can be $0.50+/gallon cheaper in Texas than California. A 2,500-mile run through different states means your real fuel cost depends on where you're burning it — not a national average.
A Class 8 truck through the PA Turnpike, NJ Turnpike, or Illinois Tollway can cost $50–200+ in a single trip. That comes straight off your profit — and load boards don't show it.
If you have to drive 150 empty miles to the pickup, that's fuel, wear, and time with zero revenue. The load board's $/mile number pretends those miles don't exist.
Truck payment, insurance, registration, permits, ELD — $3,500–5,000/month whether you're rolling or parked. Every load needs to carry its share of that overhead.
Brakes, tires, DPF cleaning, oil changes — maintenance costs are up 10% year-over-year. These costs need to be tracked and factored in, not ignored until the bill hits.
Most owner-operators pick loads on instinct, mental math, or messy spreadsheets. A $2.08/mile load can look great on the board and net you $0.12/mile after real costs. Or a loss.
One screen. Every cost. The real number. This is what a calculated load looks like:
No spreadsheets. No guessing. Just punch in what the load board shows you.
Origin, destination, pay, miles, deadhead. Takes 15 seconds — it's what's already on the load board.
TruckIt pulls current diesel prices along your route, calculates truck tolls for that corridor, and layers in your personal fixed costs.
Get a clear profit card showing every cost, your true net profit, real $/mile, and a profit-or-loss verdict. No surprises at the end of the trip.
Save multiple loads and compare them side-by-side. Pick the one that actually puts the most money in your pocket.
Not a national average. We calculate fuel cost based on actual diesel prices in each state you'll drive through, weighted by miles in each state. CA prices for CA miles, TX prices for TX miles.
Commercial truck toll rates for your specific corridor. Factors in axle count, weight class, and vehicle type. No more guessing what the PA Turnpike will cost your 5-axle rig.
Enter your actual fixed costs once: truck payment, insurance, registration, permits, ELD, everything. TruckIt amortizes them per mile so every load calculation reflects your real overhead.
Save multiple loads and compare them side-by-side. Ranked by true net profit. Color-coded: green (profitable), yellow (marginal), red (loss). See the real winner at a glance.
Empty miles to the pickup aren't free. TruckIt calculates deadhead fuel costs and includes them in all per-mile numbers. The true cost of getting to the load.
Log repairs with date, cost, category, mileage, and optional receipt photo. Track your repair cost per mile over time. Know what your truck is really costing you.
Track every load you've run. See profitability trends over time. Identify your best lanes, best seasons, and best brokers based on real data, not memory.
Running 2+ trucks? Each gets its own cost profile, MPG, and maintenance history. Compare profitability across your fleet.
Track miles and fuel by state automatically. Get IFTA quarterly estimates without a separate spreadsheet.
There are load boards, fuel apps, toll calculators, and accounting tools. But nothing that connects them into one profitability decision for a specific load. Here's how TruckIt stacks up:

Fast input, clear output, mobile-first. Evaluate a load in under 30 seconds.
We're building this in phases, starting with a working prototype you can test on real loads.
DAT charges $49–$299/month. Truckstop Pro is $149/month. TruckIt solves the profitability problem at a fraction of the cost.
Built on modern, reliable infrastructure. Here's what happens when you hit "Calculate Profit":
EIA API v2 — U.S. Energy Information Administration provides weekly state-level diesel averages. Free, reliable, government data. MVP uses state averages; v1 upgrades to truck-stop-level pricing.
TollGuru API — Commercial truck routing with toll calculation. Supports 5-axle, 80,000 lb, 13'6" Class 8 profiles. Covers all US toll roads, turnpikes, and bridges.
Progressive Web App — Works on any phone with a browser. Install to your home screen, works like a native app. No App Store needed for testing. v1 upgrades to native iOS.
We'll have a testable version ready for you and your guys to try on real loads. Feedback drives everything we build next.
