The Truck Equipment and fuel economy used to prefill the analyzer.
Default EquipmentSelect equipment Cost Per Mile Two separate buckets — they are never added together twice.
Keep these separate. Maintenance reserve is wear-and-tear you set aside per mile; fixed operating cost is overhead you owe whether the truck rolls or not. Truck Buddy subtracts each one exactly once.
Profit Targets These drive the verdict. A load must clear both to earn Accept; anything under half of either is an Avoid.
Truck Routing ProfileOptional. Used only when you tap “Calculate truck route” in the analyzer, so the routing provider can evaluate physical restrictions. Leave anything blank you do not want applied — nothing here is guessed from your equipment type or cargo weight.
Hazardous Goods HauledExplosive Gas Flammable Combustible Organic peroxide Poison Radioactive Corrosive Poisonous inhalation hazard Harmful to water Other regulated goods
If you leave these blank, routes are calculated in general truck mode and vehicle-specific physical restrictions are not evaluated. Either way, no route is guaranteed legal or safe — verify permits, bridge and weight restrictions, closures, and your dispatch mileage before you roll.
