Weekly Revenue Calculator
Enter all your loads for the week and see your total gross, net revenue after fuel and fees, deadhead percentage, and monthly/annual projections.
See Your Full Week at a Glance
Individual load rates don't tell the full story. What matters is your total weekly revenue after fuel, dispatch fees, and factoring — and how deadhead between loads eats into that number. This calculator lets you enter every load you ran (or plan to run) this week and see the aggregate picture: total gross, total net, average rate per mile, deadhead percentage, and where your money actually goes.
Add as many loads as you need. For each load, enter the rate, loaded miles, and deadhead miles to the pickup. The calculator totals your weekly fuel cost based on total miles, your MPG, and current fuel price, then deducts dispatch and factoring fees to show your true net revenue. The monthly and annual projections give you a benchmark — are you on pace for your income goals?
Use this weekly to spot trends. If your deadhead is creeping up, your effective rate drops even if load rates stay the same. If fuel prices spike, you'll see it in your net instantly. For individual load analysis, use our Profit Per Load Calculator. For a detailed cost breakdown, check the Cost Per Mile Calculator. To understand how professional dispatch can improve these numbers, read our analysis of whether dispatch is worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Weekly gross revenue varies widely by equipment type, lanes, and load count. Most OTR owner-operators gross $4,000-$8,000/week. After fuel, dispatch fees, and factoring, net weekly revenue typically falls between $2,500-$5,500. Your actual take-home depends on fixed costs (truck payment, insurance) which this calculator doesn't include. Use it to track your variable profit week over week.
Quality over quantity. Two well-paying loads with minimal deadhead often net more than four low-rate loads with high deadhead. OTR drivers typically run 2-3 long-haul loads per week. Regional drivers may run 3-5 shorter loads. The key metric is net revenue per total mile, not load count. Use this calculator to compare different load combinations.
Industry best practice is under 10% of total weekly miles. Between 10-15% is acceptable. Above 15% means you're burning too much fuel on empty miles. Professional dispatch services target under 10% by planning your next load before you deliver the current one — matching delivery locations with nearby pickups.
Enter each load you ran this week — rate, loaded miles, and deadhead miles to pickup. Add your dispatch percentage, factoring rate if applicable, fuel price, and MPG. The calculator totals everything and shows your net after deducting fuel and fees. Save or screenshot your results to track trends over time.
The projections assume you maintain the same weekly pace year-round. In reality, revenue fluctuates with seasons (produce season pays more), holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas slow down), weather, and home time. Use projections as a benchmark, not a guarantee. Track your actual weekly revenue to build a realistic picture of your annual earnings.
