Most carriers bid blind.

01

USPS gives you total hours and total miles. That's it. No profit math included.

02

Driver pay comes from a DOL wage determination — a separate document you have to find yourself.

03

Fuel, tolls, and overhead aren't automatic. You have to manually add them up every time.

04

Tax burden (federal + state + local) almost never gets factored in until after the fact.

05

Carriers use spreadsheets. Spreadsheets break, get shared wrong, and don't account for entity type.

!

Bid too low and you lose money for years. Bid too high and someone else wins. Both happen constantly.

Built for the numbers that matter.

Driver cost from DOL rate

Enter the hourly rate straight off the DOL wage determination and your total scheduled hours. Driver cost calculated automatically — no back-of-napkin math.

Variable cost breakdown

Fuel (by mile or flat), tolls, and overhead entered separately so you can see exactly where your margin is going. Vehicle and insurance via Jagger are excluded by design.

Real tax calculation

Select your entity type (sole prop, LLC, S-corp, C-corp), state, and local rate. Combined tax burden applied to pre-tax profit — not just waved away as "about 25%."

Monthly and annual net profit

See your actual take-home — monthly and yearly — plus a clear "Worth it / Not worth it" verdict so you can make a decision in under a minute.

Stop guessing.
Run the numbers first.

Every HCR contract that goes bad does so because someone bid without doing the math. RouteSnag takes five minutes and it's completely free. Your next contract decision is worth that.
