Michiana · Trucking & logistics

The trucks roll on time. The office is buried in BOLs, check calls, and re-keyed loads.

Every load gets keyed from the rate con or EDI into the TMS, then into QuickBooks. PODs get chased by phone. Check-call updates go out one at a time. Driver settlements are built by hand. The freight moves fine — it's the paperwork wrapped around each load that's eating the office.

Sound familiar?

If this is how a load moves through the office, there are hours hiding in it.

The trucks run on schedule. The friction is in everything around actually hauling the freight.

Each load gets retyped from the rate con or EDI into the TMS, QuickBooks, and the invoice.
BOLs and PODs get chased down by phone before anyone can bill.
Check-call and status updates to brokers and shippers go out by hand, one at a time.
Driver settlements are reconciled and built manually every week.
Shipper EDI (tenders, status, invoices) gets logged into and keyed by a person.
Invoicing lags because it waits on paperwork nobody has chased yet.
What we'd do about it

One call, then a plan a carrier your size will actually use.

No enterprise TMS migration you'll never finish — just the specific fixes that pay off this month.

We start with one conversation. You walk me through a normal load — how it comes in from the broker or shipper, how it hits the TMS and QuickBooks, how the POD gets collected, how the driver gets settled and the customer gets invoiced, and where the same information gets typed twice. I listen for the repetitive and the manual, especially the EDI and the chasing.

A few days later you get a short, plain-English report: what’s costing you time, what fixes each thing, what it runs a month, and where to start. Most of it is connecting the tools you already pay for — EDI tenders that stop being hand-keyed, PODs that flow to billing, settlements that build themselves. Some of it I can build once and hand you with no new subscription. The report is yours either way.

The math, roughly

It usually pencils out fast: retyping a load from the rate con or EDI into the TMS and QuickBooks, chasing the POD, and cutting the invoice runs about 15–20 minutes per load, and at 40–80 loads a week that's most of a day. We work it out from your real numbers on the call — the tools to stop it usually run around $75 a month, before anything custom gets built.

What this could look like

An illustrative example — not a specific client.

WORKED EXAMPLE · SMALL CARRIER · 12 TRUCKS
Take a 12-truck carrier. Every load from the broker gets retyped into the TMS and QuickBooks, the POD gets chased by phone before anyone can bill, and driver settlements get rebuilt by hand every Friday. Add it up and it's most of a day gone to typing and chasing.

→ A bridge from the broker/EDI tender into the TMS, PODs that flow straight to billing, and settlements that build themselves. ~8 hrs/week back, and invoices go out days sooner.

Ready when you are

45 minutes. Worst case, that's all it costs you.

Book a time, walk me through how a load actually moves through the office, and get back a plan to get those hours back — whether or not you ever hire me again.
