How this is calculated

Billings = packages × charge × (1 + fuel). Per-second counter = daily fuel portion ÷ 86,400.

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.
