This tool estimates effective hourly revenue by dividing load revenue by total time spent on the trip, including unpaid waiting.

1. Enter the revenue offered for the load.
2. Enter the expected trip time in hours.
3. Add unpaid waiting or detention time if applicable.
4. Select Calculate hourly revenue to see the estimate.

Use the result to compare loads and understand how waiting time affects earning power. Actual earnings depend on expenses, taxes, deductions, bonuses, and the accuracy of your time estimates.

Should I include detention or waiting time?

Yes. Include unpaid loading, unloading, detention, traffic, or other waiting time if you want a more realistic effective hourly estimate.

Is hourly revenue the same as take-home pay?

No. This is gross revenue before fuel, operating expenses, taxes, deductions, and other costs.
