Load Score
Enter the load. Get your score. Know whether it is worth taking, before you call the broker back.
The score is a calculation, not an opinion
No black box and no model guessing on your behalf. Five components, each weighted, each shown to you with the number behind it. Change your cost per mile or your hourly target and the score moves, because it is your business, not an average of somebody else's.
| Component | Weight | What it measures |
|---|---|---|
| Profit per hour | 35% | Your profit divided by every hour the load takes, driving and waiting. A high rate that sits six hours at the dock is not a high rate. |
| Margin over your cost | 25% | The all-in rate per mile against your own cost per mile. Break even scores 40, not zero, because break even is not a disaster, it is a warning. |
| Empty miles | 15% | Deadhead as a share of total miles. Under ten percent costs you nothing in the score, past that it bites. |
| Time on the clock | 10% | Total miles divided by total hours worked. It catches the load that keeps the truck parked. |
| Payment terms | 15% | Fifteen days or less costs nothing. Forty-five and sixty days cost you cash flow, so they cost you points. |
Bands: 85 and above, take it. 70 to 84, worth taking. 50 to 69, only if nothing better is on the board. Below 50, turn it down and say why.
One caveat, stated plainly: the score is only as good as your cost per mile. If you are using the default of $1.85 and your real number is $2.20, every load looks better than it is. That is exactly why the app calculates it from your own logged loads instead of asking you to guess.
