Revenue Per Mile Tracker for Owner Operators
Log every load and track your RPM, net profit, and best/worst lanes.
Fuel and tolls are entered per load, so keep them out of your CPM. Use truck payment, insurance, maintenance, driver pay, etc. only. Otherwise they're counted twice. ATRI's 2025 fleet average for non-fuel cost is $1.854/mi including driver wages.

What's the difference between loaded RPM and all-miles RPM?
Loaded revenue-per-mile (RPM) is revenue divided by only the paying, loaded miles. All-miles RPM is revenue divided by every mile driven, including deadhead to the pickup. All-miles RPM is the more honest number for tracking real profitability, since you pay for fuel and time on every mile, loaded or not. Tracking RPM over time, not just on one load, shows whether your lane choices and negotiating are actually improving your bottom line.
- Record total revenue and total loaded miles for each load, to calculate loaded RPM.
- Also record deadhead miles to the pickup, and add them to loaded miles for all-miles RPM.
- Divide revenue by each mile figure to get both loaded RPM and all-miles RPM for the load.
- Track both numbers over time (weekly or monthly averages), not just per load, to see your real trend.
- Enter your cost per mile WITHOUT fuel. The tracker works out fuel for each load from its miles, so a cost per mile that already includes fuel would count it twice. Then compare your all-miles RPM and net profit per mile to see your true margin.
| Metric | Formula | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|
| Loaded RPM | Revenue ÷ loaded miles only | What the load itself paid per mile |
| All-miles RPM | Revenue ÷ (loaded miles + deadhead miles) | Your real revenue per mile, including miles you don't get paid for |
All-miles RPM will always be lower than loaded RPM whenever you run any deadhead. The gap between the two is a direct measure of how much empty miles are costing you.
