About TruckingDesk

TruckingDesk (truckingdesk.site) is a free website with practical tools for U.S. trucking: check a load before booking, see profit after real costs, calculate driver pay, invoice dispatch fees and turn phone photos of BOLs and PODs into clean PDFs. There is no sign-up and no paid tier.

Who it's for

  • Owner-operators and small fleets deciding whether a load pays after fuel, fees and costs.
  • Company and CDL drivers checking percentage or cents-per-mile pay.
  • Truck dispatchers in the U.S., plus remote and virtual dispatchers working for U.S. carriers from anywhere in the world, who need invoices and quick load math.
  • Any equipment type, including dry van, reefer, flatbed, box truck and hotshot, because every result uses your own rate, miles, MPG and costs. Amounts are in U.S. dollars and miles.

Who runs it

TruckingDesk is created and maintained by Haris Ajmal, its founder. My work includes:

  • U.S. trucking dispatch and operational support
  • MC lease setup and onboarding
  • Owner-operator and trucking company management
  • Support for MC owners adding trucks to their fleets
  • Website and web application development for trucking businesses
  • AI agent solutions for trucking businesses, factoring companies, ELD providers and insurance services

Why the tools are free

Drivers work hard, take risks on the road and spend a lot of time away from their families. I personally cover the costs of TruckingDesk so the tools can stay free. The site shows ads from Google AdSense to help cover those costs; the tools stay free and usable either way, and ads are kept away from calculator and scanner controls. Support is always optional.

How the tools work

  • Calculations run in your browser. Rates, expenses, invoices and pay statements are not sent to a TruckingDesk server.
  • Route estimates on the Before Booking Calculator come from the public OSRM routing service using OpenStreetMap data, and city/ZIP locations come from bundled GeoNames data. They are standard driving estimates, not truck-specific routing.
  • The document scanner processes photos on your device. Photos are not uploaded or stored.
  • Results are estimates based on what you enter. Always verify miles, tolls, rates and pay terms before making decisions.

Accuracy and corrections

Every formula is published on How TruckingDesk calculates and on each tool page, with a worked example, so you can check the math by hand. The calculations are checked with automated tests. If you find an error, please report it and I will fix it and note the change.

Feedback and reviews

TruckingDesk does not publish testimonials it cannot verify. If a tool helped you, a short recommendation or comment on the TruckingDesk Facebook page helps other drivers find it. Problems and ideas are just as welcome.
