Trucks by the load. Machines by the hour. One board.
A civil fleet doesn't bill one way. The tippers run per-load or per-tonne, the digger's on hourly hire, the loader worked the stockpile all afternoon, and half of it is on your own project while the rest is hired out. Most job systems make you pick one model — so someone ends up tracking the rest on paper.
Every billing method, same workflow
CartageCore job cards carry the billing method with them: tonne, load, hour or day. Drivers and operators capture what actually happened — loads with weights and dockets, or start/stop hours for machine work — and the billing engine prices each line correctly when the job closes.
Open-ended site work
"Take the truck and work the site all day" is a real job type, not an exception. Dispatch it open-ended: the operator logs loads or hours as they go, attaches photos of anything that needs reporting, and closes the job out when the site's done with them.
Own-project work vs hired-out work
Track internal cartage on your own jobs alongside external hire at client rates. Same fleet, same app, clean separation at billing time — so project costing is real and hire revenue never slips through uninvoiced.
Compliance riding along
Pre-checks each morning, defects photographed and flagged, COF/rego/RUC dates tracked per vehicle. When a machine gets flagged, it's blocked from assignment until the workshop clears it — with the audit trail already written.
