For cartage contractors

Get paid for every load you move

Owner-operator, dispatcher or office admin — if you run 3 to 50 trucks on paper dockets, whiteboards and spreadsheets, you're doing the admin of a much bigger company by hand. Cartage Core puts the whole run on one board.

The week you're running now

Sound familiar?

Monday: the docket pile

Drivers hand in a week of dockets. Some are coffee-stained, some are missing the weight, one is from a different job entirely. Reconstructing the week takes an afternoon.

Wednesday: "where's my truck?"

The client wants a progress call, the site foreman wants an ETA, and the driver is somewhere between the pit and the job with no signal. The phone does the work the system should.

Friday: the invoice dance

Invoices go out late, the quarry's bill doesn't match your dockets, and the subcontractor wants their statement before you've raised anything. You're the bottleneck, and you know it.

How Cartage Core fixes the week

Same trucks. Same clients. None of the paper.

The board

Dispatch without the phone tag

Jobs, repeating contracts and multi-leg loops on a drag-and-drop board. The driver's app shows the run sheet; the office sees the same board; nobody calls anyone to ask what's next.

The capture

Every load proven, the moment it happens

Tonnage and a docket photo, GPS-timestamped on site. The week's record builds itself — and when a client disputes a load, the photo settles it in one tap.

The money

Bill the way each client pays

Per tonne, per load, per hour or per day — with FAF and per-client rate cards. Draft invoices land in Xero coded and per-vehicle tracked.

The subcontractors

Their pay statements, alongside your invoices

Subcontractor trucks sit on the same board at the same per-vehicle rate. When you run invoices, their pay statements generate in the same run — what you bill and what you owe, always in step.
