MIXTRUCK
Built for the jobsite — concrete mixer trucks, heavy-duty and commercial vehicles, equipment and maintenance, and the calculators fleets rely on.
From checking how much your truck can safely tow and decoding a tire size to working out MPG and fuel cost, planning maintenance, estimating insurance, and pricing a loan, MixTruck pairs free hands-on truck and fleet calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Run smarter, roll further.
Truck & Fleet Tools & Calculators
Free tools for owner-operators and fleets — towing capacity checker, tire size calculator, MPG and fuel cost calculators, maintenance scheduler, commercial insurance estimator, depreciation calculator, and a truck loan calculator.
Towing Capacity Checker
Enter GCWR, curb weight, payload, and occupants to see how much your truck can safely tow, the margin against your trailer, and 10–15% tongue-weight guidance — with a clear pass or fail
Tire Size Calculator
Decode a commercial, P-metric, or LT tire size into overall diameter, section width, sidewall, circumference, and revolutions per mile — and compare two sizes for the speedometer and gearing effect
MPG / Fuel Economy Calculator
Turn distance and fuel used into MPG, L/100km, and km/L for a diesel or gasoline truck, and add a fuel price to see exactly what each mile and kilometre costs
Fuel Cost Calculator
Estimate diesel cost per trip, month, and year from distance, MPG, and price — then switch on fleet mode to multiply the total across every truck you run
Truck Maintenance Scheduler
Generate a preventive-maintenance schedule from your odometer and annual mileage — oil, DPF, brakes, transmission, tires, and the annual DOT inspection — ranked by how soon each is due
Commercial Truck Insurance Estimator
Get a transparent ballpark for annual commercial-truck insurance from value, radius, cargo, experience, and coverage — with a factor breakdown and a low–high range (a planning estimate, not a quote)
Truck Depreciation Calculator
Project how a truck or machine loses value — straight-line or accelerated declining-balance — from price, salvage, and useful life, with a year-by-year book value table
Truck Loan Calculator
Price a truck or equipment loan from price, down payment, trade-in, APR, and term — monthly payment, total interest, total cost, and an amortization snapshot
Museum of Trucks & Heavy Machinery
Wander an immersive museum of the machines that build the world — the trucks of the road from semis to concrete mixers, the excavators, loaders, and cranes that work the construction site, the diesel engines, brakes, and hydraulics that drive them, and the concrete, cement, and materials of the jobsite, each in its own gallery, so you can get to know the story behind every machine: how it works, what it does, and the role it plays on the road and the site.
