Frequently asked questions
- Does this include every cost of running my delivery business?
- No — this template calculates fuel and driver labor cost only. It does not include tolls, vehicle depreciation, insurance, maintenance, or any other operating cost. Use it as your fuel-and-labor cost floor for a route, not your full business operating cost.
- Can I track more than one route at a time?
- Yes — it's a real spreadsheet. Duplicate the sheet per route, or extend it to compare several routes side by side.
- Is this free to use?
- Yes, on FLYNT's free plan — no credit card required.
