A real KRYSTAL report, section by section

Ask for $1,250. At least $92 more is required to meet your configured profit floors (8.0% above the current offer).

What it tells you. The verdict is one of three: BOOK (the load clears both of your profit floors and the risk check), NEGOTIATE (it falls short, but by 25% or less, so a counter can fix it) or PASS (the gap is too big, the risk is too high, or something essential is unknown). Here the load makes money, but only $0.27 a mile and $12.33 an hour after the driver is paid, under both floors. It needs $91.76 more, so KRYSTAL suggests countering at $1,250, the minimum rounded up to the next $50.

The grade (A+ to F) rates the load mainly on its profit per hour and per mile against your floors, with risk and the delivery market counting for a little. Confidence says how clear-cut the decision is: it is lower when a load sits close to a floor or details are missing. It is not a promise about how the load will go.

What it tells you. Gross revenue is everything the load pays. Total expenses are every cost KRYSTAL models for this trip, including the driver's pay. True net profit is what's left. Every per-mile figure is divided by all 548 miles, deadhead included, so the $2.54 a loaded mile the broker quoted is really $2.10 across every mile driven. Break-even revenue is the rate at which the load neither makes nor loses money.

Each figure is defined on how KRYSTAL calculates.

What it tells you. How far the truck goes, where the miles came from, and how long the load ties it up. Trip hours are drive time plus expected waiting, unless you enter the real door-to-door time. They are used to cost the load and to work out net per hour. They are not an hours-of-service check.

What it tells you. Every dollar in total expenses, line by line. Fuel, DEF, maintenance, tires and depreciation are charged on every mile. Fixed overhead is the monthly fixed costs spread over the days the load takes ($123.63 a day here). Operating profile costs are the ones that come from how you run your business. In this example that's the driver's pay ($356.20) and the 3% factoring fee ($34.50). For a leased-on operator this line also carries the carrier's percentage; see carrier percentage and settlements.

What it tells you. Each area is rated Low, Medium or High from the load's own details: deadhead share and waiting time (operational), how good the delivery area is for a reload (market), the broker rating (broker) and expected waiting (schedule). Weather is not connected yet and says so. Risk flags name anything that counts against the load. Here, the only flags are that the load is under both profit floors.

Once you have recorded completed loads, this tab also shows your own history with the broker and the lane. Where that evidence comes from is explained on risk and data sources.

What it tells you. The other side of risk: how efficient the deadhead is, how likely a reload is where you deliver, and whether the lane pays well for your time. Lane strength compares the load's net per hour with your floor before any counter.

What it tells you. The report in plain sentences: the money, the biggest risks, how to improve the deal, what to watch while hauling and what to do after delivery. The scorecard grades five parts of the load on their own, so you can see which one is holding it back.

In the app, every report is saved, can be downloaded as a document, and is followed by a historical comparison once you have enough saved analyses of your own.
