Calculation and pricing

Frequently asked questions

What details can I enter?

The estimate uses configured vehicle costs, available road route data or entered distance, duration and tolls, plus the operation times and costs you provide. Results depend on those settings and data.

Does Truckfare provide a construction rate?

No. Truckfare estimates costs from the vehicle, road route, operation times and configured costs. It can show an indicative price based on your entered margin, but this is not a sector or market rate.

Does the route include off-road site activity?

No. Road routing does not infer off-road use. Enter relevant operation times separately; idling fuel is estimated only when the engine-on time, idle consumption and energy price are provided.
