From the posted rate to what the truck keeps

A rate per loaded mile leaves out the empty miles to the pickup, fuel at today's price, the driver's pay and the cost of the payment terms. The Loadez load board works all of that out on every load, for your own truck, before you call the broker. Check one load with the calculator, or read how to price a load.

How these numbers are counted. From every car hauling load that reached the Loadez load board in the 30 days to 4 November 2026, 00:20 UTC (5 October – 4 November 2026). Rate per mile is the posted price of the whole load divided by its route miles, pickup to delivery; per car is that price divided by the cars on the load. A load posted twice is counted once. Loads without a price or route miles, and placeholder prices, count as loads but not in the rates. Medians, not averages, so one odd posting does not move them; the middle half is the range between the 25th and 75th percentile. These are posted rates, before fuel, empty miles and driver pay. Updated every 6 hours.
