Good loaded rate, weak all-mile rate
Deadhead turns a decent offer into a thin trip. Ask for more money or a better pickup before you accept.
First-pass math
Rate per mile calculator
Start with the numbers the broker gives you. Add deadhead, unpaid wait risk, and fees so the result is closer to the trip you actually drive.
Trust boundary
Useful math first. Private paperwork stays private.
This free calculator does not send your numbers anywhere. If you need a deeper read, use the paid Faida intake with redacted facts only. Do not send bank details, IDs, passwords, full street addresses, or unredacted rate confirmations.
Redacted examples
What Faida is looking for
The calculator is only the first pass. The paid read is for the messy parts that decide whether the load is worth taking.
Long appointment window
Check detention language, temperature notes, lumper reimbursement, and whether delay pay is written on the rate con.
Unclear accessorials
Tarping, extra stops, tolls, and layover language can turn a profitable load into a losing one if they stay vague.
Need a second read on a real load?
Send one redacted load offer, rate con, delay issue, or broker wording problem through the paid intake. Faida gives the first read and keeps the case tied to your Stripe receipt.
