Where the money goes each month

The worked example from this article: $13,720 a month over 6,100 miles. Tap any slice to see what drives it.

Fuel$4,20030.6% of costs

The biggest line in almost every operation. Price per gallon and idle time move it most.

From cost floor to target rate (per mile)

Costs $2.25 (70%)
Profit $0.96 (30%)
