Powering transportation operations across North America.
Tracx serves USPS highway contract route carriers across North America, from single-route operators to multi-route companies managing dozens of HCR contracts simultaneously. The platform is shaped around the specific operational and compliance demands of USPS contracting: automated trip dispatch on fixed schedules, exception and substitution management, direct CLEAR and Blue Yonder integration, FourKites visibility compliance, on-time performance score monitoring, and trip-based driver pay, all in one platform that also handles general freight for contractors expanding beyond mail. Unlike other providers, Tracx handles HCR contract management as a core workflow rather than a workaround.
USPS HCR contractors run fixed-route, time-critical dispatching where on-time performance scores are tied directly to your contract. Tracx automates the dispatch workflow specifically for USPS contract requirements.
HCR contracts, route numbers, trip schedules, and driver assignments live in a unified dispatch environment rather than across spreadsheets and separate tracking tools. Substitution and exception workflows are shaped for the specific operational pattern USPS contractors run, with the same platform handling general freight side-by-side for contractors expanding beyond mail.
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 contract history and operational patterns, getting sharper the more you use it.
For USPS HCR contractors running fixed-route mail transportation, that means the AI handles the routine decisions that slow your team down: which driver and equipment fit the trip, which trip shows on-time performance risk, which substitution needs faster resolution, and which contracts are running below target margin.
Tracx communicates directly with USPS (including the CLEAR Integrated Logistics Ecosystem) using the same EDI technology USPS uses internally, ensuring accurate and timely data exchange with zero transmission errors.
CLEAR, Blue Yonder, and USPS ILE connectivity are native rather than delivered through third-party middleware. Because Tracx hosts its own EDI infrastructure, trip data and performance submissions are included without per-transmission fees. The integration layer doesn't fail silently between an intermediary and your operation.
Real-time route visibility integrated with FourKites, giving USPS the live shipment and vehicle data they require while giving your dispatch team the operational awareness to maintain on-time performance scores.
The integration meets USPS visibility data requirements automatically as a byproduct of normal operations. For dispatch, live route performance variance against USPS schedule requirements is visible in the same platform that manages everything else rather than on a separate tracking dashboard.
USPS HCR drivers need their full schedule, route details, and facility instructions available on mobile, especially for complex multi-stop mail routes where every transfer point matters for on-time performance.
Dispatch updates push to drivers in real time, so route changes and vehicle substitutions communicate without a phone call. The drag-and-drop planning calendar supports up to two weeks of forward driver availability and route assignment visibility, essential for managing leave and substitutions on fixed-schedule contracts.
USPS HCR pay is trip-based and route-based, calculated against fixed schedules and subject to deductions for missed trips or substitutions. Tracx automates this from your trip data so payroll is always accurate.
Multi-route driver assignments within a single pay period consolidate into one settlement rather than requiring manual aggregation across routes. Outputs flow directly to QuickBooks or Sage, so payroll records match trip data without a reconciliation gap.
For USPS contractors, the "customer" is USPS, and performance visibility is a compliance requirement rather than a nice-to-have. Tracx provides the transparency USPS requires while giving your management team the same view.
For contractors running general freight alongside mail contracts, the same portal capability extends to non-USPS customers with standard shipment tracking, live load status, ETAs, and document access. One platform, two customer types, no separate tool investment.
USPS contractor invoicing is tied to trip completion data, accurately billing for completed runs, deductions for service failures, and any supplemental service. Tracx generates invoices directly from trip records.
Multi-revenue invoicing handles both USPS and general freight billing streams within the same workflow for contractors running mixed operations. QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage integration keeps the books current with the operational record rather than requiring manual reconciliation between systems.
USPS contracts require properly maintained, compliant equipment on every run. A vehicle going out of service mid-route is a performance event. Tracx tracks compliance and maintenance so equipment issues surface before they become contract problems.
Substitute vehicles assigned under pressure (a regular occurrence on fixed-schedule USPS routes) are automatically checked against current compliance status before dispatch. Backup unit readiness is visible in the dispatch view rather than depending on someone remembering to verify it.
USPS contractors live and die by performance metrics, since on-time trip completion rates, missed service events, and substitution frequency directly affect your contract standing. Tracx surfaces this data continuously rather than only at review time.
Route profitability analysis shows actual margin per HCR contract (including driver cost, fuel, and vehicle overhead), so renewal negotiations are grounded in real numbers rather than estimates. Our customizable reports support deeper analytics for executive-level contract reviews.
Tracx is the only TMS with direct integrations to all three USPS ecosystem platforms (CLEAR, FourKites, and Blue Yonder) alongside the GPS, ELD, and accounting platforms your operation already runs.
Because the integrations are native to Tracx and maintained by the same team, connectivity stays aligned with USPS platform updates automatically. Alongside the USPS-specific connections, standard integrations cover Samsara, Motive, Geotab, Verizon, Isaac, Prometheus, QuickBooks, Xero, and Sage, with the same platforms your operation already uses.
Tracx is the preferred TMS for USPS Highway Contract Route carriers, the only platform with native CLEAR, FourKites, and Blue Yonder integration alongside tools to help contractors expand beyond mail into general freight and brokerage.
Tracx handles the full operational scope of USPS HCR contracting, including ILE compliance, on-time performance management, revenue expansion beyond mail, and NSRMCA-aligned partnership, without the workarounds generic TMS forces on HCR contractors.
Every function you depend on runs in one fully integrated system, including dispatch, driver management, billing, compliance, performance tracking, and accounting. Data flows automatically between them.
Tracx invests in the relationship past go-live, with rapid implementation, per-truck pricing that scales with your fleet, and a dedicated support team that knows how USPS HCR operations actually run day to day.
We don't do generic walkthroughs. Tell us your freight type, your current system, and your biggest operational pain point. We'll show you exactly how Tracx handles it. No pitch deck. No pressure. Just a real look at the platform shaped for your operation.
