The morning phone-around
"Who's free? Where's the loader? Can we get two more trucks by nine?" Every site day starts with a round of calls that should have been a plan on a board.

A site day that dispatches itself
Earthworks is trucks running loops to one site all day — and the billing is hours, days and tonnes mixed together. Cartage Core plans the loops, captures the loads, and prices each leg the way the contract says.
The site-day scramble
If the foreman has to ask, it's already slow
Loops that don't add up
Quarry to site, site to dump, back to quarry — when legs are tracked as separate jobs, loads get lost between them and the client gets billed for less than you moved.
Hours, days and tonnes in one invoice
The contract bills machines by the hour, trucks by the load, and some days by the day. Three ways to price, one end-of-month scramble to reconstruct it all from dockets.
How Cartage Core runs a site day
Plan once. The loops run themselves.
Site-for-the-day dispatch
One site, many loops, all on the board
Set the site, pin the quarry, name the trucks — the board lays out every loop for the day. Drivers see their cycle in the app; the dispatcher sees the whole site without a single call.

Loader and digger jobs, billed alongside trucks
The optional loader/digger module puts machine hire on the same board and the same invoice run. Loader hours and truck loads close out together — no separate spreadsheet for the plant.

Hours, days and tonnes — without three systems
Per-hour machine rates, per-day truck standby, per-tonne cartage: the billing engine prices each record against the contract's terms and rolls it into one client invoice.

Let the client watch the site, not call you
Give the PM a live view of loads and arrivals for their site. Fewer progress calls, fewer surprises, and a record of exactly what moved when the variation claim shows up.

Site day — Riverside subdivision Example data
| Leg | Route | Truck | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pit → Site A | HT-201 | In transit |
| 2 | Site A → Dump | HT-201 | Loading |
| 3 | Dump → Pit | HT-201 | Queued |

Example data — the loop is one job, so the client invoice can't lose a leg.
