How this is calculated

Spend is split into transportation, fuel and accessorials, then each lever is applied in sequence.

Rates shown as defaults come from carrier publications or each carrier’s published table applied to the EIA price; see the methodology. Estimates and examples are labeled. Results are illustrative and do not represent any carrier’s reported financial results.
