- YES (Green): Load meets or beats the target rate.
- NO (Red): Load is below target. Renegotiate or pass.
Review “Reason for NO”
If a load is rejected, the calculator explains exactly why.

Pickup Region Options

Southeast (GA, FL, AL, SC, NC, TN)
Easier miles and frequent reloads, but still needs a rate floor to stay profitable.
Midwest (IL, IN, OH, MO, IA, WI, MN)
Baseline freight market with steady lanes, fewer tolls, and consistent pricing.
Northeast (NJ, NY, PA, MA, CT, MD)
Higher costs due to tolls, congestion, delays, and tight delivery windows. Requires higher CPM.
South (TX, OK, AR, LA)
Texas-centered market with longer runs and different pricing behavior than the Southeast.
West (CA, AZ, NV, OR, WA)
Higher fuel costs, mountains, longer deadhead, and tougher backhauls. Requires higher CPM.

(What These Modes Control)

These modes adjust your target CPM only.
They do not change fuel, miles, or pay — they control how strict approval is.

Highest target. Strict approval.
Protects profit and reduces risk.
Best when freight is strong.

Use High Margin when:
You can afford to wait for the right load and don’t want to run cheap freight.

Balanced target.
Best for normal day-to-day operations.

Use Standard when:
You want steady freight without sacrificing rate per mile.

Lower target. More flexible approval.
Useful for repositioning or soft markets.

Use Quick Move when:

You need to reposition, get home, or keep wheels moving in a soft market.

Margin First. Movement Second.
Easy miles still require a profitable rate.

These modes adjust the target rate, not the math.
The calculator still uses:

to make the final YES / NO decision.
