Mobile PPM overview
Mobile PPM shows you the average price-per-mile for outbound journeys in your current location.
This is especially useful for drivers who are on the road. When you move, your Mobile PPM data will adjust and refresh to show you the PPM rates in each new location.
Benefits of Mobile PPM
- See the average price-per-mile (PPM) for a load, based on your current location. This helps you to price your jobs accurately on the go, no matter where you are.
- Get PPM data for smaller vehicle types to help you quote more accurately on loads that aren't for your main vehicle type.
- Select short, mid or long distance helps you get a more tailored PPM result.
- See the average load distance along with price-per-mile data for a better understanding of the type of loads the PPM applies to.
Who can use Mobile PPM
Mobile PPM is currently only available for owner-drivers.

Does Mobile PPM guarantee me winning loads?
While Mobile PPM doesn’t guarantee you’ll win every load you quote on, it does help you make informed, data-driven decisions when quoting loads on the platform, no matter where you are in the UK.
How Mobile PPM data is calculated
Mobile PPM is based on aggregated & anonymised data from booked loads on the TEG platform. Data is updated daily and based on a rolling 7-day average of prices-per-mile in your current location.
Purchasing Mobile PPM
For subscriptions purchased before May 2023
Mobile PPM is optional and can be added to your subscription for an additional cost.
For subscriptions purchased from May 2023 onwards
Mobile PPM is included as standard in Owner Driver (CX Solo) subscriptions and cannot be removed.
Mobile PPM cost
Adding Mobile PPM to your subscription is £25 per month, billed annually.
This means, if you are partway through your CX subscription, you’ll only pay for Mobile PPM for the months left until your next CX renewal. After that, we’ll add your PPM subscription cost to your general CX subscription.

Using Mobile PPM
Mobile PPM works by using your vehicle's current location to return PPM data
Because of this, it’s essential your vehicle tracking is on for Mobile PPM to work. Without vehicle tracking on, Mobile PPM data won’t load.
Please note: You will also need internet access on your phone for vehicle tracking to work.
How to turn vehicle tracking on
To turn your vehicle tracking on, click the 'Tracking' button in the CX Driver app, as shown below.
Does Mobile PPM work outside of the UK?
No. Mobile PPM will only work for locations within the UK.
Using Mobile PPM and Home PPM
Mobile PPM vs Home PPM
Both data products are complementary to each other but address slightly different needs. This is why when you buy a Mobile PPM subscription, you'll also get Home PPM included for free.
The graphic below shows the main differences between Mobile PPM and Home PPM.
Benefits of pairing Mobile PPM with Home PPM
If you split your time between behind the screen and the road, pairing Home PPM with Mobile PPM can be particularly beneficial.
Using both products can help you can gain a well-rounded, accurate insight into prices-per-mile, both on the go and in the office.
With Mobile PPM, you get access to average outbound PPM data, wherever you are. This is helpful for when you find yourself in a new location, so you can quote more accurately and win more work.
With Home PPM, you get weekly insight into inbound and outbound PPM data from your home location, which can help you price your backloads more competitively.
