TrucksOut: for-hire transport and in-house logistics
Compare TrucksOut’s two operating modes and choose the right flow for customer transport or deliveries with your own vehicles.
Two modes, one product
TrucksOut is an operational TMS for transport and deliveries. For-hire transport and In-house logistics are part of the same product: they are not add-ons and do not require two different platforms.
For-hire transport
Choose this mode if you manage transport for customers. In the order flow, you specify the Billing customer and keep collection and delivery separate, with customers, warehouses or addresses and dedicated dates. You then organize work in the daily Trip Plan.
In-house logistics
Choose this mode if your company organizes collections or deliveries with its own vehicles. At least one company warehouse is needed, separate from customer warehouses. The warehouse is the origin of a delivery or the destination of a collection; form labels adapt to the operation selected.
What remains the same
In both modes, you can organize orders, drivers, vehicles and the Trip Plan. Operational changes take place in the daily view; the weekly view is read-only. TrucksOut is not a WMS with inventory, an ERP, or a continuous GPS tracking system.
First choice and later change
At first access, the company owner chooses the mode during onboarding. Later, the owner or a Manager who can manage the company can change it in Account → Company. For In-house logistics, complete at least one company warehouse.
The change guides new orders: it does not convert existing orders or remove existing warehouses.
