FAQ
What costs should I include in weekly planning?
Use your regular weekly operating and personal costs, including fuel, maintenance reserve, tolls, insurance share, and fixed obligations.
How is my weekly plan calculated?
The planner estimates gross from miles and RPM, then adjusts with cost budget and per-diem assumptions to show projected take-home and goal gap.
What if I miss my weekly goal?
Increase planned miles, improve target RPM, or reduce avoidable costs until the goal gap turns positive.
Is there still a separate per-diem mini tool?
No. Per-diem planning is now fully included on this page so your weekly plan and per-diem estimate stay in one workflow.
How often should I update this plan?
Update every week and whenever fuel costs or expected lane rates move meaningfully.
