TRUEHOUR helps equipment owners, contractors, and owner-operators know their real cost per hour — so they can price jobs profitably and stop undercharging.
Most small equipment businesses don’t fail because of one bad job. They lose money slowly through inaccurate pricing, overlooked overhead, rising fuel costs, repairs, and guessing at hourly rates.
TRUEHOUR fixes that.
Built specifically for equipment-based businesses, TRUEHOUR calculates your true Owning, Operating, and Overhead (O&O) cost per hour using the same industry-standard methodology trusted for decades by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and referenced by the Caterpillar Performance Handbook.
Enter your real machine data and TRUEHOUR calculates:
• Depreciation
• Financing & insurance
• Fuel & maintenance
• Tires & repairs
• Overhead & operating expenses
• Break-even hourly cost
• Recommended billing rate
Know exactly what it costs to run your machine every hour — based on YOUR numbers, not industry averages.
PRICE JOBS WITH CONFIDENCE
TRUEHOUR’s Job Estimator helps you build accurate, profitable quotes using your real equipment costs, labor, materials, permits, subcontractors, and overhead.
See:
• Profit margin at any billing rate
• Estimated vs actual job performance

No more guessing whether a job is profitable.
