The engine that prices every truck route. In the cab or in your software.
Fuel, tolls, IFTA, parking and hours, priced before the truck moves. Drivers get it in the Argus app. Your TMS, pricing engine or dispatch agent gets the same engine by MCP.
Get the Argus app
For owner operators and company drivers. The Agent plans the run, prices the fuel and finds parking.
Power your logistics with the Argus MCP
The engine and logic behind the app, as tools your TMS, pricing engine or dispatch agent calls before it books a load.
Smart routing. Smart stops. More profit per load.
This is what the Agent works out on every lane before the truck moves, and the same logic your software gets back when it calls Argus. It starts with where the truck fuels.
Same city, same afternoon, same diesel.
26 pumps on one screen · Omaha · November 4, 2026Every dot is a pump on the map to the right, with the bell curve those pumps make. The gold dot is the one Argus sends the truck to: the lowest effective price after state fuel tax. The average pump is what a per mile fuel estimate assumes.

In the cab
Every pump priced, live.
Omaha, one afternoon: $4.80 to $5.30 a gallon on the same screen. The Agent sends the truck to the cheap one on its route.
Price every pump on the route
Not the city average. Every truck stop the lane passes, priced from the feed, so the cheap pump is a known stop and the expensive one is a drive by.
Time the fill to the tank
Buy enough to reach the next cheap pump and no more. The fill lands where the price is low, not where the needle happens to drop.
Place the break and the overnight
Where parking exists, before the hours run out. The 30 minute break and the 10 hour reset sit on the plan with a spot behind them.
Pick the route that pays
Tolls by axle, fuel tax by state, miles and drive time on each way to run the lane. The one that leaves the most per load wins.
Live demo
Try it on your lane.
Type two cities. See every priced pump on the route and the one Argus picks.
Plan a routeThe rate minus the route is the margin.
Those stops roll up into five lines that decide whether a load makes money, in one answer your agent can act on.
Fuel
Truck diesel priced at the pumps on the lane, and the fill timed against the tank.
Tolls
By axle count, weight and time of day, on the route the truck will actually run.
IFTA
Miles and fuel tax by state, priced into the quote.
Parking
Where the truck parks tonight, with availability on the lane and spaces the agent can reserve.
Route and hours
Truck legal miles, drive time, live closures, and whether the hours of service work.
Argus shows its work.
Most rate tools hand you a number per mile. Here is a sample board of lanes priced by the engine. Open a lane to see the cost of each way to run it, which one Argus picks, and how the margin moves as the rate does. The same lane can cost $420 in fuel on one route and $450 on another, before tolls and state fuel tax move it again. Your agent sees that before it accepts the rate.
Cost of each way to run it
Fuel at the pumps on the route, tolls by axle, fuel tax by state, parking, plus driver and fixed cost per mile.
Margin at the rate
rate $2,150 · margin $966Drag the rate. The line is what is left after the picked route is paid for.
Illustrative sample run. Lanes, costs and rates are synthetic, not customer data. Driver pay and fixed cost held at $0.65 and $0.38 a mile.
Built for the software that prices and books freight.
If your product decides what a load is worth, it needs what the load costs to run. Argus is the tool it calls for that.

Put the cost of the route next to every load in the board, priced the same way for every carrier on the platform.
Pricing and quoting engines
Quote against what the lane costs to run this week, with fuel, tolls and IFTA in the number instead of a per mile guess.
Dispatchers
Check the margin, the fuel stop and the overnight before the truck is assigned.
Logistics agents
Any agent that books, bids or plans freight calls Argus as a tool and gets the cost back as data.

Questions platforms ask
Is the MCP the same engine as the app?+
Yes. The Argus app runs on it. The MCP gives your software the same route engine and logic the Agent uses in the cab.
What does Argus return for a load?+
The cost of the route: fuel at the pumps on the lane, tolls by axle and time of day, miles and fuel tax by state for IFTA, parking on the lane, drive time, live closures and whether the hours of service work. And the preferred stops: which pump to fill at, where to take the break and where to park for the night.
How does our agent connect?+
As an MCP server that any agent framework speaking MCP can add as a tool, or as REST calls with the same key.
How is it priced?+
Metered per call and quoted per partner, never per seat. The founder replies within one business day.
Why not price the lane from a per mile average?+
The same lane can cost $420 in fuel on one route and $450 on another, and tolls and state fuel tax move it again. An average hides the loads that lose money.
Can we also give drivers the app?+
Yes. You can resell the Argus app to your drivers with fleet codes from the Argus Partner Portal, one line on your invoice. FleetHub AI and Prometheus run it this way.
