How it works

How It’s Worked Out

Share of empty miles is deadhead divided by all miles driven.

Real rate per mile driven divides the load rate by loaded plus deadhead miles. The drop is the difference between the loaded rate and the real rate.

Use it to compare two loads: a lower rate close by can beat a higher rate far away.
