Map
Blue = co-op elevators, red = ethanol plants, purple = feed mills. Use the search box in the top-left of the map to jump straight to a pin by name. Click any empty spot on the map to drop a temporary pin for your farm or a field — it becomes your start point and you can drag it to fine-tune. The target button on the map uses your current location instead. Then click an elevator pin to calculate that trip.

Fuel cost = (round-trip miles ÷ truck mpg) × diesel price. Labor cost = labor rate × round-trip drive time. Total hauling cost = fuel + labor, and total hauling cost per bushel = that total ÷ truck capacity — shows what that trip actually costs you per bushel, before any bid is even entered, so you can compare hauling cost across elevators on its own. Net price after all costs = (bid × bushels after shrink − total hauling cost) ÷ truck capacity. Leave labor at 0 if you don't want to include it.
Your farm isn't pinned on the map. Click any empty spot on the map (your loadout point) to drop a temporary pin and use it as your starting point — it's draggable if you need to fine-tune it. The “Use my location” button on the map does the same thing automatically.
