Per trip
Revenue, cost and net profit for each order.
Know the cost and profit of every trip
Route, distance, fuel and tolls turn into a cost before you accept the order, so margin is a fact, not a guess.
TruckDispatch calculates trip cost automatically. Truck-aware routing by HERE Maps gives the distance, fuel cost is distance × consumption × the current fuel price, and tolls are added. Compared with your client tariff, you see the margin before accepting the order and the profit per trip, truck and client afterwards.
Example: Munich → Vienna
Sample data from the platform. The automatic calculation covers fuel and tolls, so add your other costs when you judge the margin.

How the trip cost is calculated
- Truck-aware route and distance from HERE Maps
- Fuel cost = distance × consumption × current fuel price
- Tolls added to the route cost
- The result sits next to the client tariff on the order

Frequently asked questions
How is trip cost calculated?
Cost is the route distance multiplied by consumption and the current fuel price, plus tolls. The distance comes from truck-aware routing by HERE Maps.
Which costs are included in the automatic calculation?
The automatic calculation covers fuel and tolls based on the route. You compare the result with the client tariff to see the margin.
Can I see the margin before I accept an order?
Yes. The route cost and the client tariff are visible on the order, so you see the margin before you accept it.
Can I see profit per truck?
Yes. Reports show revenue, cost and net profit per trip, per truck and per client.
Where does the fuel price come from?
The platform keeps a current fuel price and uses it automatically in every cost calculation.
