Base rental cost = hourly rate × max(payable hours, minimum hours), or daily rate × rental days, or trip rate × planned trips.
Travel distance = planned trips × (loaded distance + empty distance).
Fuel cost = total travel distance × fuel cost per km.
Payload per trip = truck body capacity × material density.
Cycle time = loading time + dumping time + site delay + loaded travel time + empty travel time.
Achievable trips = available working minutes × utilization ÷ cycle time.
Subtotal = base rental + operator + fuel + maintenance + standby + overtime + mobilization + demobilization.
Grand total = (subtotal − discount) + tax.
It estimates truck hire cost, delivered tonnage, delivered volume, trip productivity, fuel spend, standby charges, overtime, discount, tax, and final payable total for a hauling job.
Choose hourly when work duration drives cost, daily when the truck is dedicated for whole shifts, and trip billing when payment is tied directly to completed haul cycles.
Payload per trip equals truck capacity in cubic meters multiplied by material density in tons per cubic meter. This converts body volume into an estimated carried tonnage.
Achievable trips show whether one truck can realistically complete the planned hauling target within the available time, route speed, delays, and utilization assumptions.
Yes. Standby time often appears during loading delays, access restrictions, gate waiting, breakdowns, or weather holds. Ignoring it can make your budget look much lower than actual cost.
Yes. Change the density, body capacity, haul distance, and trip count to match the material and route. The calculator is flexible for common construction hauling scenarios.
Many planners begin around 75% to 90%, then adjust using real site performance. Congestion, queueing, poor roads, or slow loading usually reduce achievable utilization.
If the schedule cannot complete every planned trip, the same project cost is spread across fewer delivered trips. That raises the effective cost of each successful haul.
