What every check counts

  • Live local fuel prices — near the collection — not a guessed national average
  • Fuel to the drop and the empty run back — the return leg is real diesel, so it’s costed
  • The hills both ways — gradient is counted on the laden climb
  • Diesel burnt idling — engine ticking over at the load and the tip
  • Wear on the truck — tyres and maintenance, per mile

Standing costs like road tax (VED), insurance and the O-licence aren’t charged to a single job — you pay those whether you work or park. They sit in the Bucket One panel — add your standing costs above.
