Pay drivers, owner operators and carriers per trip

Record what each driver, owner operator and carrier is owed on a trip by charge code, compare carriers by recent activity and pay, then commit trip payments and freight bill settlements so everyone gets paid.

Where it fits

One flow from first order to final payment, for trucking carriers.

  1. Orders and shipper requests become loads

    Every customer move request becomes a freight order, and every order becomes loads ready to dispatch.

  2. Dispatch builds trips from waiting loads

    Dispatch builds trips from waiting loads and assigns drivers, trucks and trailers to every stop.

  3. Track every shipment through proof of delivery

    Every trip shows its tracking events and whether proof of delivery is required, missing or received.

  4. This step

    Rate, bill and pay from the trip record

    Freight bills are created with their charges, committed and grouped into consolidated invoices for each customer.

  5. See revenue, cost and margin by trip

    Revenue, participant cost and margin are reported by shipment, trip and broker.
