About DumpTruckRates

DumpTruckRates is a tools and data site: free calculators and rate data for dump truck owner-operators and small fleets.

How the calculators get their numbers

Every formula is shown on its calculator page under "How this is calculated". Starting values are examples you replace with your own. Where a number comes from an outside source, the source is linked on the page.

Where the rate table comes from

The rate table is built only from rates that owner-operators report through therate survey. Reports are checked for obvious errors, but they are not independently verified. A truck type appears once it has at least 5 reports, and individual reports are never shown.

Who runs this site

DumpTruckRates is run by Srikanta M. — I built it because pricing a dump truck job usually means piecing numbers together from forums, spreadsheets and guesswork. The site puts that math in one free place and shows every formula, so you can check it yourself.

If a number looks wrong, email hello@dumptruckrates.com. I check it against the source and either fix it or explain why it stands.
