The Bulk Haulage Operator Running Mixed Fleets
HaulageOps was purpose-built for operators who run a combination of owned trucks and subcontractors — typically in bulk haulage, civil construction, earthworks, quarries and material transport.
- Fleet of 5–100+ trucks, mixed owned and subcontracted
- Multiple clients with different rate structures per job type
- Subcontractors who need a simple way to accept jobs and submit dockets
- Using Xero for accounting and want invoices automated
- Replacing spreadsheets and WhatsApp as the primary dispatch tools
- Need compliance records for CoR without buying expensive hardware
Before You Decide
When evaluating any platform for bulk haulage, make sure to test these specific scenarios in a demo:
- Can a subcontractor accept a job and submit a docket without installing an app?
- Can you set different rates per client, per job type and per truck class?
- How does an invoice get created from a completed set of dockets?
- What does the Xero sync look like — are line items mapped correctly?
- How long does driver onboarding take on day one?
- What are the total costs — setup, monthly, and per additional user?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is HaulageOps or Allotrac better for bulk haulage?
HaulageOps is purpose-built for bulk haulage operators — the dispatch board, subcontractor portal, docket workflow and billing are all designed around the way bulk haulage jobs actually run. Allotrac is a broader transport management system that can be configured for bulk haulage. If your primary operation is bulk, tippers, earthworks or quarrying, HaulageOps will typically fit more directly out of the box.
Which platform has better Xero integration?
HaulageOps uses a native OAuth2 Xero integration where invoices are created in HaulageOps and pushed to Xero in one click, with line items mapped directly to your rate card structure. We'd encourage you to check Allotrac's current Xero integration specifics with their team, as these details can change.
Does HaulageOps require hardware?
No. HaulageOps requires no telematics hardware. Drivers use the HaulageOps app on their own smartphones. Subcontractors use the browser-based portal on any device. This significantly reduces the cost and complexity of rollout.
