Bulk Haul Software vs. Trux
Trux combines a hauling marketplace (Trux Find) with dispatch tools and the Trux Drive app, and is built mostly for contractors and material producers who need to source trucks. Bulk Haul Software is built for the aggregate and bulk hauling company owner: the person who runs the trucks, the drivers, the customers and the back office, and needs all of it in one system. We don't run a marketplace that competes with you for jobs.
Which One Fits Your Operation?
Choose Bulk Haul Software if…
You own an aggregate or bulk hauling company with your own customers, and you need to run dispatch, billing, driver and sub pay, maintenance and DOT compliance in one place.
Trux may fit if…
You need to find extra trucks, or extra work, through a marketplace.
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.
We don't compete for your jobs
Trux runs a marketplace where haulers bid on work. Bulk Haul Software is only software. Your customers and rates stay yours.
Back office from day one
Invoices built from AI-verified tickets, automatic fuel surcharge, driver pay and sub pay statements. Your office doesn't need spreadsheets.

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.
Your subs, your rates
A portal for your lease haulers, not a marketplace
- Send truck requests to the haulers you already trust
- Subs commit trucks and manage their own drivers
- Their insurance and certificates are tracked, with expirations flagged
