Cost of the load is time times driver pay plus miles times fuel. The bottom line is twice that. The starting bid is three times that.
Route
Start, two stops, and up to ten more. Miles fill in automatically from the addresses; edit them if you know better. Dwell is the time at each stop.

Estimates only. Tolls, permits, deadhead to the first pickup, and your fixed costs are on you to add. Bottom line means you do not haul it for less.
Cost first
Time on the load times what you pay the driver, plus miles times what fuel costs you per mile. That is the number the load has to clear before anything else.
Bottom line: 2x
Doubling the cost covers the truck, the insurance, the office, and the days it sits. Below this, you are paying to work.
Start the bid at 3x
Open at three times cost and negotiate down toward your bottom line, never past it. The margin between the two is your business.
