Cost Calculation

Full cost breakdown in one click.

Enter an origin, destination, and truck. LogistiX calculates loaded transport cost, empty return cost, fuel surcharges, loading/unloading time, and small-load adjustments — all displayed in a clean, itemised breakdown.

Truck departs fully loaded. Cost = loaded distance rate × km.

Transport Setup

Configure any truck down to the axle.

Define gross weight, dimensions, axle count, fuel type, and per-km cost rates for loaded and empty legs. Truck attributes are passed directly to the routing engine for weight-restricted routing — no manual workarounds.

Route Alternatives

Fast, short, or toll-free — you choose.

Every calculation fires three parallel route requests — fastest, shortest, and toll-free. Compare driving time, distance, and toll costs per route so dispatchers can pick the best option for each trip.

How it works

From truck config to

Define your truck configuration — weight, dimensions, axle count, fuel type, and cost rates per km for loaded and empty legs. Reuse it across all calculations.

02

Build your order

Add an order with one or more sections, each with a source, destination, and order items. LogistiX supports multi-section routes and multiple trip types per section.

03

Get the full cost breakdown

Calculate instantly. LogistiX returns full, partial, and empty trip costs, loading times, route alternatives, and a complete per-section cost breakdown — ready to export or consume via API.
