The supplier bill vs your dockets
The quarry's invoice says 1,240 tonnes this month. Your dockets say 1,186. Somewhere between the weighbridge ticket and the office, 54 tonnes went missing — and you don't know where.

For aggregate & quarry operators
Know your margin on every tonne
If you buy aggregate from the pit and sell it delivered, you're trading on tonnes — and the margin lives or dies on matching what you paid, what you charged and what actually moved. Cartage Core does that matching for you, load by load.
Where aggregate margins leak
The three ways tonnes disappear
Buy price, sell price, no line between them
You know what you charge per tonne delivered. You know roughly what you pay at the pit. But "roughly" is how margins quietly disappear, client by client, product by product.
The pit visit nobody wrote down
A loader driver fills a truck, the truck rolls out, and somewhere between the cab and the office the ticket doesn't make it. That load bills no one and costs you everything.
How Cartage Core closes the gap
One record from pit to client, margin attached
Weighbridge module
The ticket becomes the load
Weighbridge tickets flow off the indicator straight into the load record. No re-typing, no two versions of the truth. Trucks roll through, weights land on the right job, and the pit visit bills itself.

Buy vs sell, side by side
Every job carries the buy price per tonne and the sell price per tonne — the margin is visible on the load, on the client, and on the product. You'll know which work actually makes money, not just which work keeps trucks busy.

Match the bill to the loads that caused it
When the quarry's invoice lands, every line matches to individual loads by docket number and weight. Discrepancies surface as a list you can act on — not a month-end mystery.

Loads from several pits, to several jobs, without a scratchpad
Repeating contracts, multi-leg loops and pinned locations keep a multi-site aggregate run in order — even when half the trucks are subcontractors.
