LoadMerit
The broker has a number. Know yours before you call back.
01 / The problem
A load’s rate is only part of the picture.
A load’s quoted rate is only part of the picture. Dispatchers also need to account for fuel, fixed costs, and deadhead miles, often while talking to a broker.
02 / What I built
I built LoadMerit to show the estimated revenue, costs, and margin for a load in one place. Operators enter the offered rate, loaded and deadhead miles, and their costs.
The result includes a Book, Negotiate, or Pass recommendation and a suggested counteroffer. The workflow is designed for checking an offer during a call with a broker.
Operators can set their own fuel, fixed, and per-mile costs, so the estimates reflect their business.
03 / Features
Load profitability scoring
Rate, miles, deadhead, and cost inputs are combined into a clear per-load margin.
Quick load checks
Check an offer while talking to a broker.
Your own cost model
Fuel, fixed, and per-mile costs are configurable, so margin reflects your operation instead of an average.
04 / How it’s built
I built LoadMerit with Next.js and TypeScript, using Supabase for data and user accounts. It’s one of my own products, which I continue to operate and maintain.
