Cost per kilometre is the total cost of a trip divided by the kilometres driven. It shows the minimum rate per kilometre a carrier needs to avoid a loss.
Formula: cost per km = total trip cost ÷ kilometres driven (including empty kilometres).
What drives it: tolls on the route, the diesel price, fuel consumption and driver pay – the cost per kilometre differs significantly from route to route.
Exact figure: Logist Calculator gives the cost per kilometre for each specific route.
