Truck Downtime Cost Calculator
Every value below is yours — we pre-fill nothing, because your operation's numbers are the only honest ones. The formula is shown under the calculator.
The formula, in the open
Total = (revenue/day + driver cost/day + rental/day) × trucks × days + one-off costs. Assumptions: costs scale linearly per day; lost revenue counts fully (if you recover some loads with other trucks, lower the revenue figure accordingly); indirect costs like customer-relationship damage are real but not modeled — treat the result as a floor, not a ceiling.
What to do with the number: the mechanisms that actually shrink downtime.
