Booking Becomes a Breeze
With a dump truck booking software, contractors can keep track and fulfill all compliance needs for their fleets, view load slips digitally, and easily receive invoices.
You need to keep track and fulfill all of your compliance needs from obtaining Certificates of Insurance to safety requirements.
Booking third party hauling with a tool like TRUX assures that you are getting fully compliant drivers without the manual labor and paperwork.
Paper load slips become a thing of the past with new technology offered through logistics platforms. You can now easily access load slips in-app and not have to worry about keeping paper versions.
Not only do you have to keep track of compliance, but you also have to keep track of all hired trucking and payout multiple invoices per job.
With tools like TRUX, invoices are sent weekly for the previous work week and are organized by day and job. This results in one easy and understandable payment.
Payment happens all in one go, no matter how many haulers work on a job in a day. You no longer have to process multiple invoices for any given job.
Keeping Tabs on Hired Trucking
You rely on hired trucking to get the job done, but hired trucking is also the area you have the least visibility into. With transport and logistics management tools, you can now gain access to this gray area of your operations.
With a platform like TRUX, not only is logistics management more efficient but using its tools powerfully backed by data will take your business to the next level.
