This model treats one trip as one operating day for fixed and daily/monthly driver costs. Use "Trips Per Day" to split daily costs across multiple trips. It tells you whether a single load pencils out — not whether you're covering fixed costs across a full month of mixed miles. The monthly & yearly figures are an idealized annualization (this trip × working days × 12); they ignore empty weeks, downtime, seasonality, and load variability, so treat them as a ceiling, not a forecast.
