- Fuel economy (MPG) 6.5
- Variable cost ($/mi) 0.2
- Fixed cost ($/day) 250
- Days tied up 2
- Tolls ($, optional) 40
You get
- Net profit $803.85
- Profit / loaded mi $0.89

Details, formula, and sources
Revenue minus the fuel, variable, fixed, toll, and accessorial costs of these loaded-plus-deadhead miles, with the all-in break-even per mile.
Net = revenue - (total miles/MPG x fuel + total miles x variable cpm + fixed/day x days + tolls + other); profit per loaded mile = net / loaded miles.
