Profit Per Hour
Your true hourly rate after every real cost.
By TRUE Driver Profit Team · Last updated July 10, 2026 · 1 min read
Profit per hour is what an hour of your time is really worth after the cost of driving — not what the platform paid you per hour.
How it is calculated
Profit per hour is your TRUE Profit divided by the time you worked. Time comes from tracked orders, or from the minutes you enter when you record an order by hand.
Why it differs from platform pay
- It subtracts fuel and vehicle wear.
- It includes the time spent waiting and driving to pickups, when that time is part of the order.
- It reflects your vehicle's real running cost, not an average.
How to use it
- Set your minimum hourly goal in Profile under Earnings goals.
- Use the Home calculator before accepting an offer.
- Check your actual profit per hour in Reports each week.
- Compare hours of the day and days of the week to find your strongest windows.
Early in a shift, an hourly rate built on a few minutes of work is meaningless. TRUE Driver Profit waits until there is enough activity before showing a rate you can trust.
