What does this truck actually need for every mile?
Use one completed operating period. Enter revenue, loaded miles, deadhead, and the cost buckets that materially change the floor.
This establishes an Operating Result from the facts you enter. It does not establish owner compensation, tax reserve, retained profit, or full-business profitability.
Every mile the truck had to run belongs in the denominator, and every operating cost from that same period belongs in the numerator.
Build the all-mile operating-cost floor from the period you actually ran.
Business/truck name and review period are optional report labels. The eight required numbers below drive the calculation.
CPM & Load Floor Report
The same report shown above will be attached to the delivery request. Marketing consent remains optional.
Test one load against the saved all-mile operating-cost floor.
This uses your current CPM record, not a market benchmark. Clearing the operating-cost floor does not by itself prove full-business profit.
A current v3 CPM record unlocks the cost-floor comparison.
Loaded miles and deadhead remain visible because they change the denominator.
Use the Guide that answers the question behind the number.
