How the hauling cost per metric tonne calculator works

One trip adds vehicle-only distance cost, measured fuel cost, elapsed labor time and one other trip charge. Round that trip charge to cents, then multiply by whole trips. Delivered mass equals trips times the usable payload.

Cost per metric tonne divides total trip cost by delivered mass. The distance allowance excludes separately entered fuel and labor; full round-trip time should include loading, waiting and return travel where applicable.

No route, legal payload, axle loading, commodity bushel conversion or return-load revenue is inferred. Zero trips gives zero total and no unit-cost ratio, while the illustrative one-trip cost remains visible.

Worked example

A 100-km trip at $1/km plus 40 L at $1.50/L, three hours at $30/h and $20 other cost totals $270. Five trips cost $1,350 and deliver 100 t. Fuel at $2/L raises total to $1,450.

Sources and assumptions

The source material explains the underlying calculation or pricing structure. Entered prices, costs, schedules and scenario choices are your assumptions; this tool does not obtain supplier quotes or predict actual results.

  • Transport Fuel Cost

    Estimate litres and fuel spending from a metric trip distance and entered L/100 km consumption. Add a fixed trip cost and compare whole trip counts.

  • Earthmoving Truck Loads

    Apply an entered swell allowance to bank volume, then use both loose-volume and approved payload constraints.

  • Pallet Box Capacity

    Count a uniform upright box grid with optional base rotation, total-height and gross-weight limits.

  • Shipment Cubic Volume

    Convert identical carton dimensions in centimeters to cubic meters and compare with a volume-only usable capacity and space allowance.
