Trucking Software for Intermodal Container Operations

Profit Tools provides business automation software for commercial trucking companies who offer Intermodal, TL, LTL, or Brokerage services and Multimode operations.  Our intermodal software capabilities address the full range of issues specific to container operation; dispatch, billing, container tracking, chassis tracking, drop and hooks, and driver settlements for chassis splits, yard pulls, crosstowns, and more.  We handle split third party billing, and capture the full range of accessorials and special charges that can be associated with intermodal trucking and drayage operations.    We help make these a profit center, not a cost center, for your business.

Profit Tools drag and drop dispatch works together with our dipatch dashboard and load/ reload matching capabilities to make planning more effective and profitable.  We can connect your container operation electronically to customers and third parties via EDI, automated email notifications, and web tracking.  We can eliminate the manual work associated with 3rd party vendor interfaces.  IMCs and steamship lines such as HUB and C.H. Robinson give their carriers the option to drive all the required load tender, status update, equipment disposition, invoice and electronic documentation functions directly from the Profit Tools system.  Our in-cab and hand-held communication capabilities from vendors like QUALCOMM® and Nextel® enable you to get your drivers and dispatchers off the phone and eliminate costly delays and mistakes at the terminal.

Our software handles back office functions like fuel tax and log auditing and we have interfaces to all major accounting packages including Quickbooks®.  Profit Tools intermodal software currently dispatches 5% of all containers moved by port and rail in the U.S. and is used at leading companies in every port and rail center in the country.  We know that intermodal is different and more complex than other forms of trucking and we'll help you manage those challenges profitably.


Profit Tools is a start-to-finish trucking software solution that provides proven business outcomes
for small and medium-sized companies who offer Intermodal, TL, LTL,
or Brokerage and Multimode operations.
