The free Know Your Mile calculator (knowyourmile.com) gives you your cost per mile once. This pack keeps it — month after month, in files that are yours.
What you get:
- Monthly cost tracker (.xlsx, formulas built in) — twelve months of your real costs in the same categories the calculator uses: insurance, truck and trailer payments, permits and IFTA, phone/ELD, fuel, maintenance, tires, tolls. Cost per mile figured for every month, so you watch it move instead of guessing. Five minutes at month-end beats a guess at tax time.
- Rate-history log (a second sheet in the same file) — every rate you were offered next to what you actually took, figured per mile the honest way: pay divided by ALL miles, loaded and deadhead. Your next negotiation starts from your record, not a broker's memory.
- A .csv copy of the tracker — same grid, no formulas, for software that won't open .xlsx.
Who doesn't need this: if you run your numbers once to settle a question and you're done, the free calculator is the whole tool — take it, it's yours. If your dispatcher or lease already hands you a cost breakdown you trust, you don't need a second one. And if you're not going to write your real costs down monthly, the tracker won't do it for you — save the $27.
This pack is for the driver who makes the rate decision load after load and wants his own numbers kept, not re-typed.
Know Your Mile is an educational tool, not financial advice. One-time payment — the files are yours to keep. No subscription.
