Advanced Adjustments
Diesel Surcharge
Adds a per-mile surcharge using the DAT RateView FSC formula (EIA price − $1.25 baseline) ÷ 6.5 MPG. DAT spot rates already include fuel — enable when quoting off contract rates or when your carrier requires a separate FSC.
FSC active — DAT RateView formula. Best used with contract rates; enabling on DAT spot rates may double-count fuel.
Capacity / Load-to-Truck Updated:
Current DAT rates reflect this week's capacity. Enable when your rates are a few days stale or you're adjusting for a lane you know is tighter or looser than the national average.
Seasonal Adjustment
Auto-applies from your pickup date. Select the origin region that best matches your lane — each profile reflects seasonal capacity and demand patterns for that growing region. Recommended to keep on — DAT rates lag seasonal transitions by several days.
Monthly multipliers — FL Reefer

Holidays & Industry Events
Check the events that overlap your pickup date. Each adds a multiplier to the quote. Stacks with Seasonal — useful for compounding spikes (e.g., Mother's Day during peak produce season).

QuickFreightCalc is a free freight rate calculator built for freight brokers, truck drivers, owner-operators, and dispatchers. Get instant FTL (full truckload) and LTL (less-than-truckload) spot rate quotes using live DAT Trendlines rates — no account or signup required.

The load profitability calculator helps owner-operators and carriers decide whether a load is worth taking. Enter the offered rate, loaded miles, dead head miles, fuel cost, driver pay, and fixed costs to see net profit, profit per mile, profit per hour, and a clear Accept, Marginal, or Decline verdict.

The LTL calculator uses NMFC freight class with automatic density-based class detection, CWT rate calculation, and a full accessorial charge builder including FSC, liftgate, residential delivery, inside delivery, limited access, appointment fees, and hazmat.

Additional features include a FMCSA-compliant HOS trip planner for estimating driving days and rest stops, live EIA weekly diesel prices by PADD region, seasonal rate multipliers for major produce corridors, and a transit day calculator that flags extended-transit loads and suggests appropriate rate adjustments.

QuickFreightCalc is free to use and works on desktop and mobile. Rates are sourced from DAT Trendlines and updated monthly. For informational use only — always verify before quoting.
