📈 Fuel price sensitivity — breakeven rate per mile (CAD) as fuel changes
Cross-border strategy: Northbound loads (US→CA) are where you recover margin lost on southbound runs. Every $0.10/L fuel increase typically adds $0.05–0.08/mi to your breakeven depending on truck efficiency. Use the chart above to see exactly how fuel changes move your floor.
