Truck Setup
Most Tools Show Partial Profitability. We Show the Whole Picture.
Your company overhead is killing one truck and you don’t even know which one.
Other platforms use fleet-average costing. They take your total costs and divide by your number of trucks. The result? A profitable-looking truck can be hiding $500/month of shared overhead. You make decisions on incomplete data.
Truck Setup + Company Cost Configuration changes this. Every truck has its own cost model. Every shared expense gets allocated proportionally. The result is true per-truck profitability — not a partial picture that misses half your expenses.
-
Per-Truck Cost Modeling
Fixed costs, fuel cost per mile, driver pay structure (percentage, per-mile, or flat-daily), dispatch fee percentage, minimum daily profit target, maintenance reserve, plus driver info, license plate, make/model, and trailer details — configured individually per truck.
-
Company Cost Allocation
Rent, yard expenses, salaries, office expenses, insurance, compliance costs, professional services — split across ALL trucks to calculate true daily break-even per truck. No competitor does this.

True Break-Even Per Truck
Other platforms either ignore shared overhead entirely or use fleet averages. CarrierWin gives you the full picture: direct truck costs plus allocated company overhead. This is the number your broker doesn’t want you to know.
Why Fleet-Average Costing Is Dangerous
Here’s how fleet-average costing works at most competing platforms:
You have 5 trucks. Total monthly costs are $25,000. So they calculate $5,000 per truck per month. Simple. Clean. But wrong.
The reality? Truck 1 has a $2,800/month payment. Truck 3 is paid off but gets 5 mpg vs. the fleet average of 6.5 mpg. Truck 5 has a driver on 28% commission vs. the others on 25%.
Fleet-average costing hides these differences. A truck that should be flagged as underperforming looks acceptable because it’s benchmarked against an average that doesn’t exist.
Company Cost Configuration fixes this by:
- Allocating shared costs proportionally across trucks
- Ensuring each truck bears its fair share of overhead
- Revealing which trucks are truly profitable and which are subsidized by the others
No competitor factors shared costs into per-truck profitability. This is CarrierWin’s third competitive edge, alongside cumulative debt tracking and role-based access.
