Why Specialized Carriers Choose Tracx

Tracx serves auto transport operators, heavy haul companies, oversized load carriers, dump truck fleets, and bulk material haulers across North America, from independent owner-operators to multi-terminal specialized fleets. The platform handles the operational complexity of specialized hauling natively: VIN-level vehicle tracking for car haulers, permit route adherence monitoring for oversize loads, scale ticket integration for dump trucks, project-based billing for construction equipment moves, and driver certification matching by equipment type and load requirement. These are core workflows rather than modules bolted on after the fact.

Core TMS Features

Dispatch & Load Management

Trucking Dispatch and Load Management

Specialized equipment dispatch fails when you use generic freight tools, since every load has unique equipment requirements, driver certifications, permit needs, and dimensional constraints that standard TMS platforms ignore.

For car haulers, VIN-level load management treats each vehicle as its own record (individual VIN, condition, BOL, and delivery status) rather than a single freight line item. Project-based dispatch groups multiple moves under one job for construction mobilizations and fleet relocations, and high-frequency bulk dispatch supports dump truck operations running multiple loads per truck per day.

  • Equipment Type Matching: Assign flatbed, RGN, lowboy, step-deck, or other specialized trailer types based on load dimensions and weight, with Tracx flagging mismatches before dispatch is issued.
  • VIN-Level Load Management (Auto Transport): Each vehicle on a car hauler is its own record (individual VIN, condition, BOL, and delivery status) rather than a generic freight line item.
  • High-Frequency Bulk Dispatch (Dump Trucks): Manage 8+ loads per truck per day with scale ticket capture and site slot booking, shaped for bulk operations that standard dispatch boards can't handle.
  • Project-Based Dispatch: Group multiple moves under a single job or contract, ideal for construction equipment mobilizations, crane jobs, and fleet relocations with consolidated billing.

AI Automation & Intelligence

TMS AI

Tracx is AI-native from day one, with automation running through every workflow instead of bolted onto a legacy platform. The AI learns from your own load history and operational patterns, getting sharper the more you use it.

For carriers running auto transport, heavy haul, oversized loads, and dump truck operations, that means the AI handles the routine decisions that slow your team down: which driver and equipment fit the load, which permit route needs updating, which load shows margin risk, and which projects are running behind schedule.

  • Auto Assignment matches the right driver and equipment to every load automatically, evaluating proximity, Hours of Service, driver certifications, trailer type, dimensional fit, and permit requirements in real time so dispatchers focus on the road instead of spreadsheets.
  • Document Extraction reads load tenders, permit documents, and scale tickets automatically, populating load details and eliminating the manual data entry that slows dispatch on high-volume specialty operations.
  • Exception Detection surfaces permit expiration risks, route deviation, and equipment availability gaps before they become customer-facing problems, with severity ranking so your team works the highest-impact issues first.
  • Margin Intelligence trained on your own 13 months of operational history surfaces real per-load profit opportunities and flags routes, equipment types, and customer accounts where you're losing money.

EDI & API

TMS EDI

Specialized carriers working with enterprise construction, automotive, or dealer networks need EDI for order intake and status reporting. Tracx handles this natively with auto transport load board import support alongside standard EDI.

Auto transport broker and dealer system imports cover 30+ order formats for car hauling operations. Weigh-bridge API integration pulls scale ticket data into dump truck load records automatically, updating quantity per trip without driver data entry.

  • Auto Transport Load Board Imports: Import dispatch orders from 30+ auto transport brokers and dealer systems directly into Tracx, with no manual re-entry of vehicle, pickup, and delivery details.
  • Construction & Industrial EDI: Receive load orders and submit status updates electronically to enterprise construction, energy, and manufacturing clients that require EDI integration.
  • Weigh-Bridge API Integration: For dump truck operations, scale ticket data flows automatically from weigh-bridge systems into load records, updating load quantity per trip without driver data entry.
  • Weigh-Bridge API Integration: For dump truck operations, scale ticket data flows automatically from weigh-bridge systems into load records, updating load quantity per trip without driver data entry.

Real-Time GPS & ELD Tracking

TMS GPS Tracking

High-value specialized cargo requires more than a location dot. Customers and dispatchers need to know a crane or piece of construction equipment is on route and on schedule without relying on driver check-ins.

Permit route adherence monitoring via geofencing alerts dispatch when oversize vehicles deviate from permitted corridors. Driver hours and location integrate through Samsara, Motive, Geotab, and Verizon, providing one operational view for complex multi-day oversize moves rather than separate platforms for telematics and dispatch.

  • High-Value Load Visibility: Live GPS tracking for oversized and high-value cargo, so construction companies, dealerships, and equipment owners get real-time location without calling dispatch.
  • Permit Route Adherence Monitoring: Geofence triggers alert when vehicles deviate from the permitted route, critical for oversize loads where off-permit-route operation triggers DOT liability.
  • ELD Integration: Samsara, Motive, Geotab, Verizon, and other providers: driver hours and location combined in one operational view for complex multi-day oversize moves.

Driver & Carrier Portal

TMS Driver Portal

Specialized drivers need more in their mobile app than standard freight, since permits, route survey notes, load securement instructions, and photo inspection tools are part of every job rather than exceptions.

VIN barcode scanning auto-populates vehicle details and generates compliant eBOLs for car hauling in seconds. Photo inspection with damage markup on vehicle diagrams or photos, combined with shipper e-signature at handoff, creates defensible documentation for every load handled.

  • Permit Access in App: All state permits for the current load pushed directly to the driver's app, with no printing and no calling dispatch for permit copies mid-route.
  • Photo Inspection with Damage Markup: Mark pre-existing damage on a vehicle diagram or directly on photos at pickup, with e-signature from shipper confirming condition at handoff and eliminating false damage claims before they start.
  • VIN Scanning (Auto Transport): Barcode scan any VIN to auto-populate vehicle details and generate a compliant eBOL instantly, meeting OEM and dealer inspection standards without manual paperwork.
  • Route Survey Notes: Attach bridge clearance, height restriction, and access notes to the load, so drivers have route-specific intelligence before departure.

Driver Pay & Settlements

TMS Driver Settlements

Specialized carrier pay often includes project bonuses, permit reimbursements, and multi-day job pay that differ from standard per-mile structures. Tracx handles these without manual payroll calculations.

For dump truck and bulk material operations, driver pay calculates from confirmed scale ticket quantities, with pay per ton or per load from weigh-bridge data. For car hauling, per-vehicle pay structures are supported alongside standard per-mile and per-load configurations.

  • Project & Job-Based Pay: Configure driver pay for multi-day moves, project work, and flat-rate specialized jobs, with settlements calculating from completed job records rather than just delivered loads.
  • Per-Load Pay for Bulk Operations: Dump truck and bulk material driver pay calculates from confirmed scale ticket quantities, with pay per ton or per load from weigh-bridge data.
  • Accounting Sync: Driver settlement data flows to QuickBooks, Xero, or Sage automatically, with no manual payroll reconciliation required.
  • Multi-Driver Settlement Splits: For multi-driver oversize moves and team operations, settlements split automatically across drivers, pilot car operators, and escort coordinators based on configured rules.ired.

Customer Portal

TMS Customer Portal

High-value specialized cargo shippers (construction firms, dealerships, manufacturers) expect more visibility and documentation than standard freight customers. Tracx provides a portal with live load status and full document access as standard.

For car haulers specifically, dealership customers see per-vehicle status and condition reports rather than load-level tracking. Inspection documentation, damage markup records, and eBOLs are accessible through the portal the moment they're captured, with no email requests and no separate document delivery workflow.

  • Live Load Status & GPS: Construction companies and equipment owners see real-time location, ETA, and delivery status for their high-value cargo without calling dispatch.
  • Inspection Documentation Access: Photo inspection records, damage markup reports, and eBOLs available to customers in the portal, giving them the documentation they need to verify cargo condition on delivery.
  • Project-Level Visibility: Customers with multi-move projects see overall job status and individual move progress in one view, eliminating the need for status calls on complex multi-truck operations.
  • Branded Customer Experience: Customize the portal with your carrier logo, colors, and domain so construction firms, dealerships, and equipment owners see your brand at every touchpoint rather than a generic third-party login.

Invoicing & Accounting

TMS Invoicing and Accounting

Specialized carrier invoicing must include permit fees, escort charges, route survey costs, and project-based billing, which standard freight invoicing tools don't support natively.

Scale ticket-based invoicing for bulk material operations generates accurate per-ton billing from weigh-bridge data automatically. Per-vehicle billing for car hauling operations works alongside project-level invoicing for multi-move contracts, providing one platform with multiple billing structures.

  • All-Inclusive Quote-to-Invoice: Base rate, permit fees, escort costs, and route survey charges configured and applied automatically from job data, with invoices reflecting every cost component without manual line item entry.
  • Project Billing: Invoice against a project contract with consolidated billing across multiple moves, with one invoice for multi-truck, multi-move jobs instead of separate invoices per load.
  • Scale Ticket-Based Invoicing: For bulk material operations, invoices generate from confirmed weigh-bridge quantities, with accurate billing per ton and no manual data entry from paper tickets.
  • Accounting Sync: QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage integration syncs both A/R and A/P data automatically, with your accounting system staying current without manual posting between systems.

Equipment & Maintenance

TMS Equipment Maintenance

Specialized fleets carry diverse trailer types (flatbeds, RGNs, lowboys, step-decks), each with different compliance requirements, capacities, and maintenance schedules. Tracx manages all of them with equipment-type-specific tracking.

Driver certification tracking covers hazmat endorsements, specialized equipment qualifications, TWIC cards, and oversized load credentials with automated alerts before expiry. Load assignment is blocked when driver credentials don't match load requirements, with compliance failures caught at planning rather than at a roadside check.

  • Multi-Equipment Type Management: Track flatbeds, RGNs, lowboys, step-decks, and other specialized trailers with individual compliance documents, capacity specs, and maintenance schedules per unit.
  • Driver Certification Tracking: Hazmat endorsements, specialized equipment certifications, and oversized load driver qualifications tracked per driver, auto-flag assignments where credentials don't match load requirements.
  • Equipment Availability at Dispatch: Out-of-service and maintenance-due units blocked from assignment automatically, so dispatch always works from accurate equipment availability.
  • Permit Inventory by Equipment: Track which trailers have which state permits active and when they expire, so dispatchers assign loads to equipment with the right permit coverage rather than chasing permit paperwork mid-trip.

Advanced Reporting

Advanced TMS Reporting

Specialized carrier reporting needs to track permit costs, project profitability, and equipment utilization by trailer type, none of which exist in standard freight reporting tools.

Per-vehicle margin reporting for car hauling operations surfaces which dealer accounts and lanes are profitable. Project profitability reports show total revenue against permit, escort, driver, and equipment costs per job, delivering true margin rather than estimate-based billing.

  • Project Profitability Reporting: Total revenue, permit costs, escort fees, and driver pay per project job, delivering true margin on specialized moves rather than estimate-based billing.
  • Equipment Utilization by Type: See which trailer types are in demand vs. underused, informing fleet investment decisions and identifying capacity available for additional revenue.
  • Permit Cost Analysis: Aggregate permit expenditure by state, lane, and load type, identifying high-permit-cost corridors and optimizing routing to reduce regulatory overhead costs.
  • Customer Account Profitability: Per-account margin trends across all loads, projects, and lanes, so sales and ops see which dealerships, construction firms, and equipment owners deserve investment, renegotiation, or strategic exit decisions.
