Bulk Haul Software vs. Toro TMS
Toro TMS is a transportation management system for dry and liquid bulk haulers, known for text-message driver workflows and in-person onboarding. Bulk Haul Software is built for the aggregate and bulk hauling company owner. It covers the same dispatch-to-invoice workflow, and adds quoting, a subcontractor portal, preventive maintenance, DVIRs and DOT compliance in the same system, with pricing you can see before you call.
Which One Fits Your Operation?
Choose Bulk Haul Software if…
You own an aggregate or bulk hauling company and want one system from the first quote to the repair shop, with published per-truck pricing and unlimited office users.
Toro TMS may fit if…
You want a trainer on-site at your office during onboarding and only need dispatch, tickets, billing and pay.
Key Differences
DOT compliance is tied to dispatching
Driver compliance (license, medical card, MVR, DQ file) and fleet compliance (registration, annual DOT inspection, service status) are checked right where you dispatch. You're warned before you assign an out-of-compliance driver or truck, so you don't send them out on the road.
Vehicle Maintenance is integrated
Toro doesn't advertise maintenance or DVIRs. With Bulk Haul Software, defects reported on a DVIR go straight to your maintenance team, and out-of-service trucks show up before you plan the day.
A price you can see today
Toro prices by quote. Ours is on our website, starting from $25 per truck per month. No additional charge for office users.

One Application Replaces Several Programs
Stop paying for, and re-keying data between, separate systems. Bulk Haul Software replaces them with one application that communicates across the whole platform.
- Order managementQuotes, orders & jobs
- DispatchingSchedule board & driver app
- DOT driver complianceDQ files, MVRs, med cards, drug & alcohol
- DOT fleet complianceRegistrations & annual inspections
- MaintenancePM schedules, work orders, DVIRs
- Customer & subcontractor portalsTickets, invoices, truck requests
- InvoicingFrom AI-verified tickets
All in one application, one login, one set of data
- Enter it once: Data flows from a quote to an order, a dispatch, a ticket and an invoice without re-keying.
- Compliance tied to dispatching: An expired med card or overdue inspection alerts dispatchers before the truck is assigned.
- Drivers feed the shop: A defect reported on a DVIR goes straight to your maintenance team.
- Subs and customers stay in the loop: Portals provide the information your lease haulers and customers need, so they won't have to call you for updates.
What Toro doesn't show you
Maintenance lives next to your dispatch board
- Preventive maintenance by date and mileage, with overdue services flagged
- Create work orders straight from the PM schedule
- DVIR defects from the driver app go to the shop automatically

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Bulk Haul Software can send dispatches by text. Drivers who want more can use the driver app to see their day, add ticket photos and signatures, and complete DVIRs.
Yes, and it goes a step further. When a driver photographs a ticket, AI either fills in the ticket details for them or checks the details they typed against the photo. When they match, the ticket is automatically marked Verified in the ticket list. If AI can't confirm them, the ticket stays Unverified for your office to review.
