Frequently Asked Questions
Trucking.Software is a comprehensive, all-in-one Transportation Management System (TMS) designed specifically for trucking companies and freight brokerages. It integrates dispatch, operations, full accounting, payroll, compliance, payments, and more into a single, streamlined platform built by trucking industry veterans.
Our platform is ideal for small to enterprise-level trucking companies (handling TL, LTL, and/or Intermodal), owner-operators managing their back-office functions, and freight brokerages seeking an integrated operations and accounting solution.
Yes, our standard pricing is a simple monthly fee per active user login. You are only billed for active users, with payment collected upfront for the month. Users can be activated or deactivated at any time as your staffing needs change. There are no hidden fees based on the number of loads or transactions (subject to our fair use policy). Check our Pricing Section for current rates and our special introductory offer for new customers!
A user is anyone requiring their own login credentials to access the Trucking.Software platform's administrative functions (e.g., dispatchers, accountants, managers, admins).

We offer flexible month-to-month terms. You are not locked into a long-term contract. Our introductory offer provides significant savings for the initial months, after which the standard rate applies, still on a month-to-month basis.

We provide standard support via email, phone, and in-app chat during regular business hours (e.g., Monday-Friday, 9 AM - 5 PM Eastern Time). Our support team understands the trucking industry and aims to provide timely, relevant assistance. Premium support options may be available.
Trucking.Software is a fully cloud-based (SaaS - Software as a Service) platform. This means you can access it securely from anywhere with an internet connection and a modern web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, Edge). No installation or server maintenance is required on your end.
While the core platform is web-based for comprehensive management, we may offer companion mobile apps or mobile-responsive interfaces designed for specific tasks needed by drivers or staff on the go. Please inquire about current mobile capabilities.
Data security is a top priority. We utilize industry best practices, including data encryption (in transit and at rest), secure hosting on reputable cloud infrastructure (like AWS or Google Cloud), regular backups, firewalls, and strict access controls to protect your sensitive business information. Importantly, all your data is stored in your own dedicated server and database, completely separate from all other customers, providing an additional layer of security and data isolation.
You do. Your company retains full ownership of all the data you input into Trucking.Software. Our terms of service clearly outline data ownership and our commitment to your privacy.
Your data is hosted on servers located closest to your company's geographic location, optimizing performance and reducing latency. We utilize leading cloud infrastructure providers with global data center networks, ensuring both proximity and compliance with regional security standards. While most of our infrastructure is based in the United States, we prioritize server selection based on your specific location for the best possible experience.
