Clear thinking for
the business of trucking.
Truck University is an independent collection of practical calculators and learning guides for owner-operators, small fleet owners and people learning trucking operations.
Useful tools. Visible assumptions.
Our starting point is a question you can work through: what does this trip cost, what does this fuel arrangement change, or what do the loaded kilometres need to earn?
The tools use Canadian dollars, kilometres and litres. Each one identifies its inputs, shows its formulas and explains what is excluded. Default values are hypothetical examples, never claims about your business or current market rates.
Time value stays separate from cash.
Saved minutes can be useful without reducing payroll. Our fuel-stop calculator displays time-and-cost value and net cash effect separately. Cash realization starts at zero and must be justified by expenses actually avoided.
We do not describe modeled time value as profit or promise savings, revenue or extra work from freed capacity.
How an article is checked.
Each guide begins with an original explanation and a worked example. Calculator formulas are checked with automated numerical cases, including invalid and boundary inputs. Articles record a source checkpoint and their related tool.
The initial guides use explicit hypothetical inputs and arithmetic. They do not rely on live fuel prices or supplier claims. Any future external factual claims need current primary sources, with links and a verification date. Legal, tax, repair and safety guidance requires suitable sourcing and review.
Review before release.
We check examples, source notes, units and limitations before marking a guide ready for release. Unfinished drafts stay in the private preview and are excluded from public builds. Publication remains a deliberate release step.
The initial guides were drafted and checked with AI assistance, including numerical tests. A calculation checkpoint is not an expert endorsement. Corrections update the affected content and its date; substantive changes require another review.
An independent resource.
Paid placements are clearly labelled. Sponsors do not control calculator formulas, results or editorial conclusions. Compensated links are identified where they appear. Discuss a sponsorship.
Truck University is an educational resource. It does not represent an accredited school, issue qualifications or claim an association with a supplier or fleet business. No partnerships, testimonials or measured customer results are implied.
Your inputs stay with you.
Calculator inputs remain in the current browser page. They are not sent to a calculation service, saved to an account or placed in the URL. Reloading a page restores the example; use Export results to keep your assumptions on your device.
Optional Google Analytics measures site use only after permission. Calculator figures are excluded. Hosting providers separately process access and security requests. See our privacy policy or open . Printing and exporting remain actions you choose.
