Truckish is a comprehensive SaaS platform that integrates the tools that trucking companies need into a single, convenient, and affordable system. Problem: Although carriers with fleets of 20 trucks or less make up over 92% of all trucking companies in the United States, they must compete with larger fleets without the benefit of the premium-priced software tools and economies of scale savings available to their more resourced competitors.

Synthesizing the various outputs from separate tools costs small business owners time and money that could be better utilized elsewhere. Solution: Truckish’s Fleet Management Solution saves carriers time and money by integrating the tools they need into a comprehensive SaaS system that is affordable to the average trucking company. These tools include dispatch, vehicle diagnostics, tracking and maintenance, ELD and Hours of Service compliance, IFTA calculations, contacts management, and accounting with easy integration to QuickBooks and payroll systems. Carriers use the Truckish web platform to manage their customers, team, and assets. Our automated workflow seamlessly facilitates every load from dispatch through to invoicing and driver payroll. Drivers connect to the platform via the Truckish mobile app, where they monitor their assignments, track their hours of service, and manage load documentation and contacts. And with Truckish plug and play hardware installed in their trucks, carriers can view real time data and diagnostics on their vehicles while maintaining compliance with the latest government ELD mandate. Truckish streamlines carriers’ operations, increasing their productivity and reducing their overhead, so that trucking companies can focus on growing their businesses.
