Logistics Route & Deadhead Loss Report
Check route time, fuel cost, waiting time and empty return cost before you dispatch or price the delivery.
Where money is usually lost
Money is usually lost in empty return miles, fuel drift and waiting time—not in the loaded-mile rate alone.
What the paid report shows

How this check works
Why this check matters
This analyzer is built around job numbers that usually move margin: material waste, rework, labor time, waiting time, finishing cost and the gap from target rates.
Example scenario
Sample case — not a customer result
- Job type
- Regional delivery lane — 420 km round trip
- Main input numbers (sample)
- Loaded distance: 280 km
- Empty return: 140 km
- Fuel cost: $0.42/km
- Waiting time: 2.5 hours
- Driver rate: $28/hr
- What the analyzer flags
- Empty return miles on the lane
- Waiting or detention time
- Fuel cost vs quoted rate
- What to check first
- Loaded vs empty miles before dispatch
- Detention policy and typical wait on this customer
- Whether the quote includes return deadhead
- What the report helps you decide
- Break down route loss from fuel, waiting and empty return before you price or accept the load.
How the estimate is built
The analyzer uses the numbers you enter, compares them with your target or expected range, and estimates where the job may lose money. It is a job check, not a guarantee.
Numbers used
Sample inputs above are illustrative only. Your report uses the numbers you enter on this page and the assumption notes listed below.
What to check before using the result
