Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions and answers regardling TruckIT technology and how it works

GENERAL / GETTING STARTED

HOW DO I CREATE AN ACCOUNT?

Create an account by clicking here, then fill out the form.

Note: If you are a hauler, you will need to provide your insurance agent’s name, phone number, and email address.

WHAT DO I DO AFTER I CREATE MY ACCOUNT?

Both contractors and haulers use our customer portal to add supplemental information we use on the system. For example, hauling companies will add trucks, drivers, and possibly dispatchers. Contractors will enter in their authorized users. When these users are added, our system sends emails to them to assist with logging in and downloading our apps.

DO I HAVE TO CONNECT ALL OF THE TRUCKS IN MY FLEET? DOES EVERYONE IN MY COMPANY NEED A LOG IN?

Haulers: No! You can pick and choose which trucks you connect to our applications. All we need from you is the required company information, including insurance if you are a hauler.

Contractors & Material Producers: No! The entire company does not need to be on TruckIT in order to utilize our products. Our application is particularly useful for foremen, superintendents, owner/operators, fleet owner, fleet manager, back office, and others.

DO YOU OFFER INTEGRATIONS FOR MY EXISTING PLATFORMS/API SOLUTIONS?

Yes. We’re constantly developing platform integrations and we offer custom API solutions. API compatibility depends on other platforms you’re currently using and what you hope to get out of connecting TruckIT to those existing tools.Click here to submit a Technology request for more info. TruckIT’s tech team will personally guide you through integration possibilities.

WHY IS MY ACCOUNT NOT ACTIVE / PENDING APPROVAL?

Because the TruckIT service is based upon contracted agreements between Contractors and Haulers, we take steps to make sure that everyone posting a job, or bidding on one, is legit. Also, things like proof of insurance must be received and reviewed for haulers. In general, we approve accounts within a day or two of submittal.

HOW DOES WEATHER IMPACT MY JOBS?

Like the rest of the industry, TruckIT understands weather can create difficult work conditions. That’s why we allow contractors to cancel accepted jobs in the event of inclement weather, and Haulers acknowledge this in their legal agreement. When a job is cancelled, it is truly ‘done’ - new jobs must be scheduled to make up for any cancelled deliveries. This may be filled by the same hauler or a different one, depending on availability.

WILL MY COMPETITORS HAVE ACCESS TO MY TRUCK DATA OR MY JOB RATES?

No. Every company on TruckIT has their own account and working environment, and the only people that have access to your jobs are the people that you invite to join your network. You can easily manage what every person sees so they only have access to the information you want them to have.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T LOG TICKETS?

FOR CONTRACTORS

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I POST A JOB?

When posting a job, you have an option to only send to your preferred haulers or broadcast to TruckIT’s vetted network of hundreds of trucks within a 20 mile radius to your project . Haulers can also establish regional coverage areas and will be notified for any available drop-off or pick-up location within that geo-fence. No more worries about staying on schedule due to limited capacity to import or export your material. Once you post your job, owner/operators are notified that your job is available. Haulers will review your job details to fill and dispatch trucks to your job.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN A JOB IS FILLED?

No more phone tag or over trucking, the TruckIT platform is automated so can can monitor in real-time as your order is filled and/or receive notification updates as haulers accept your job. You’ll see the name, contact info and truck number for each drive assigned along with the haulers business information of all the drivers that accept your jobs.
