SimpleTrucker

The Problem

Small trucking companies run on paper. Loads tracked in notebooks, documents stuffed in filing cabinets, invoices handled manually. There was no affordable, purpose-built tool for a small carrier to run their operations digitally — the big enterprise software was overkill and priced for fleets, not owner-operators.

What Was Built

Built SimpleTrucker — a web app where trucking companies manage everything in one place. Dispatchers add loads and track them from active to delivered. Drivers upload proof of delivery as a PDF right from the road. The accounting side tracks how each load was paid — standard, quick pay, or factored — and flags what still needs to be processed. Equipment records keep maintenance and expenses organized per truck and trailer. Reports give owners a clear picture of profit and loss without digging through paperwork.
