Kenton, TN (PRWEB) March 26, 2005 -- A new software program written for truck drivers by a veteran driver takes much of the guesswork out of managing a trucking business.

Managing a truck like a small business is necessary for many truck drivers; finding the ‘how to’ hasn’t been easy. Most books and virtually all other software applications are geared to trucking companies, not Owner/Operators.

Load Profit Analysis Write Up The Road Publishing, available now in Beta version, shows drivers the ‘how to.’ Among other calculations, Load Profit Analysis helps drivers to figure costs per mile, per day, and whether each load is making or losing money before accepting the load for their businesses. This easy-to-use software enables drivers to negotiate a better price for a load, or know when to combine shipments for more profit – or when to just say, “NO.”

One thousand free trial CDs, with full program purchase capability, will be distributed to Owner/Operators with valid CDLs at the Mid-America Truck Show (MATS), Louisville, KY, March 31-April 2, 2005.

The software developer and author Timothy D. Brady will be present at MATS to answer questions and demonstrate the software. You can find Mr. Brady at the Sirius Trucking Network Area in the Freightliner Booth 3210.
