The Owner-Operator Startup & Profit Kit · 11 worksheets
One avoided deadhead leg can pay for the kit
- Worked example: the deadhead calculator's own default load ($1,850 for 850 loaded miles, 120 empty miles, $1.68 a mile to run) puts about $202 on those empty miles, more than the $39 kit price, so one avoided leg like that covers it. Results vary with your own rates and lanes.
- The Per-Load Profit Check rates each load against your real cost per mile before you book it
- 11 fill-in worksheets, 32 print pages, 2 filled-in examples and 4 companion workbooks
30-day money-back guarantee. Every dollar back if it doesn't help.
Get legal, price every load against your real number, and catch the moment this kit pays for itself, all in one place instead of ten loose files.
Replaces the startup checklist you were tracking in your head, the load you booked without checking it against your cost per mile, and the tax money that felt like spare cash until filing time.

Who it's for
- A new owner-operator who wants the authority, insurance and money steps in the order they actually matter
- A current owner-operator who has never sat down and found a real cost per mile
- Anyone tired of booking a load, then wondering afterward if it actually paid
- An owner-operator who wants the tax set-aside and deduction list in one place before filing season, not scrambled together after
Who made this
Built by the TruckingCalc team from the same cost-per-mile, IFTA and rate-floor math the free site's calculators run on, laid out as a workbook to fill in and reuse instead of a page to read once.
