MOTOR-CLUB CALL CHECK

Is this call
worth taking?

The payout is on the offer. The miles and the hours are on you.

Put one offer beside your own costs: the drive out, the loaded miles, the drive back and your time. See what the call adds, and the payout it would take to cover it.

Your numbers.

USD · US units

Example numbers—not industry averages or typical results. Replace them with your own.

01 The offer

Include travel, waiting, hookup and drop-off.

02 Running costs

Use your own price. Zero is allowed for a what-if scenario.

Card or platform fees, tolls and similar.

03 Fixed costs

Monthly overhead and truck payment divided by calls per month; TowProfit works this out. Enter 0 to judge the call on running costs alone.

This compares one offer with your own costs. It does not know, or suggest, what any motor club or network pays.

How the numbers work.

Total miles = miles to the pickup + loaded miles + miles back. Running cost = fuel (total miles ÷ MPG × fuel price) + labor (paid time × loaded hourly cost) + maintenance (total miles × allowance per mile) + other costs for the call.

What the call adds before fixed costs = offered payout − running cost. After its fixed share = that amount − the fixed cost share you entered. The two break-even payouts are the running cost, and the running cost plus the fixed share.

Empty miles = (miles to the pickup + miles back) ÷ total miles. Per-mile figures divide by total miles; zero miles makes them not applicable.

A call that covers its running costs but not its fixed share can still be worth taking when the truck would otherwise sit idle; one that does not cover its running costs loses money on its own. This compares one offer with your costs. It is not a statement of what any motor club pays, and it is not advice to accept or refuse work.
