For the owner-operator with a truck or a few and a driver to pay. No sign-up, no email to give. The arithmetic is the same engine LoadTally runs every payday.

• Driver pay calculator Type the week’s loads — miles, live loads, stop-offs, detention — and get a pay sheet you can print, line by line. “How do I figure my truck driver’s pay per mile with extras?”
• What’s left per mile One week’s settlement against fuel, the driver, and a week’s share of insurance, the truck note and plates — spread over every day, home days too. What’s left, a mile. “After everything, what am I actually making per mile?”
• Settlement checker Photograph a carrier settlement and see it load by load: a share below your lease, fuel taken off twice, and money taken off below the loads, in dollars. “How do I check my owner-operator settlement? Was I paid right?”
• Driver pay sheet template A printable weekly pay sheet for a 1099 driver paid by the mile, and the same layout as a spreadsheet. No email needed. “Free truck driver pay sheet / settlement template”
• 1099 totals for drivers Paste a year of weekly pays and see each driver’s total and who needs a 1099-NEC this year. “Do I have to send my driver a 1099? What is the 1099-NEC threshold?”
• Load sheet and settlement glossary PU, LL, SO, SD, detention, deadhead, order share — what each word on the paperwork means, and whether it pays the driver. “What does SO / LL / PU mean on a load sheet?”
