Trucking software helps trucking companies store electronic records and manage day-to-day operations. Truck company administrators and managers use trucking software to manage the overall workflow of the trucks within the company, enabling better organization and reducing inefficiencies. Trucking software typically manages shipping logistics, dispatching trucks, route planning, fleet management, truck maintenance records, delivery operations, payroll, accounting, and fuel and toll tax management. Through integrations with trucking companies’ existing software systems, these solutions help users run most of the business digitally and eliminate the need for obsolete paper records.
While most trucking software can be standalone solutions, some tools also manage other portions of the supply chain, such as shipping logistics. Supply chain software that could be used in addition to trucking software would be transportation management systems (TMS) and fleet management software.
To qualify for inclusion in the Trucking category, a product must:
