It All Starts with Finding the Right Trucks

Logisitics management software allows contractors to find the right trucks at the right time. Allocate your fleet to make the best profit:
A) Post your available jobs and watch dump trucks come to you.
  • With a marketplace like TRUX, contractors can post jobs days or even weeks in advance to ensure they’re able to secure third party hauling.
  • Even with the best-laid plans in construction, there are bound to be last-minute changes. You can find trucks quickly and efficiently to take on any last-minute work or fill in a leg of a project.
B) Scale your fleet daily.
  • Your workflow changes daily. Wouldn’t it be great if your fleet could adjust accordingly?
  • TRUX allows you to hire trucks when you need them and allows you to put your trucks on the marketplace when business is slow.
C) Creating a balanced marketplace
  • If you look at “demand” as the work posted to a given area and “supply” as the amount of available trucking, then one of the key factors to success is a healthy balance between the two.
  • To improve the balance of supply and demand, you need to start with planning ahead. To find the trucking you need, we find posting your work ahead of time allows you to fill shifts and complete your work efficiently.
Use data to better allocate resources. Dump truck logistics platforms backed by data help plan and optimize a project from start to finish. A healthy marketplace allows contractors to effectively fill shifts without manual and time-consuming processes. By digitally finding the trucks closest to you, transport and logistics management tools take the guesswork out of the equation.
