Most dispatchers sell you on higher gross… but the smart owner-operators look at the math behind the miles. 📊🚚
This chart shows why a CargoChain load can pay you more even with lower gross:
✅ Lower CPM (cost per mile) – you spend less to run each mile
✅ Smarter routing – fewer wasted miles, less wear on your truck
✅ Fuel discounts, fewer tolls & repairs – more savings every trip
Meanwhile, “high gross” with bad routing, no discounts and high CPM = money leaking from your pockets.
👉 Lesson: Don’t just chase big numbers on the rate con.
Track your RPM + CPM and focus on what stays in your pocket, not just what hits the invoice.
