Total-mile RPM
Gross revenue divided by loaded plus deadhead miles. It gives a more complete view of the movement.
Projected profit per mile
Estimated take-home divided by total miles after the modeled expenses and positive-profit tax reserve.
Break-even
The modeled gross revenue per total mile needed to cover included costs. A desirable rate normally needs room above that floor.
