Profit Tools Brochures

It's Your Business — Profit Tools is a complete, start-to-finish business, operations and e-commerce solution for running your company successfully, whether you’re a team or a single individual, whether you're running five trucks or five-hundred. It was developed and tested in some of the most profitable trucking companies in America, to be the most trucking savvy and the most business savvy system available.

Profit Tools General Features — If you have reliable management information, you can make the right decisions. If your workers have appropriate tools, you can implement the right processes. And with quality guidance from people who’ve been there, you can move your company in the right directions. Profit Tools delivers information freely, from custom reports to on-screen analyses of what’s happening right now, company wide or focused on individual trucks, drivers, customers, or lanes.

Intermodal Benefits — Whether Container Drayage is your whole business or just part of it, you know how easy it is to miss the boat on free time and per diem charges. But you can get it under control, and it’s easier than you think. With Profit Tools, all it takes is entering the rate structure for each line you haul from, once.

Document Imaging — Storing documents electronically means files are never lost or misplaced, and anyone who needs them can get them instantly, again and again. Eliminate this source of stress and your workforce becomes more efficient, while rapid response to document requests builds customer confidence.

LiveLoad.NET — Looking for a competitive edge to help grow your business? Beat 'em to the punch with interactive customer service right from your web site! Giants like FedEx® and Roadway® spend millions providing these services—but you won't have to. LiveLoad.net is so affordable that freight transportation companies of all sizes can use it.

LiveLoad for Intermodal — Can your customers get real-time pickup and delivery confirmations, ETAs, and current locations for all their freight, anytime, 24X7? Do they have ready access to Billing, POD, Free Time and Per Diem information without tying up your customer service staff? Can they tender loads and receive rates without interrupting your workflow—or theirs—so you can work together efficiently, and profitably? If the answer is no, would you like a better answer?

The Right Software for Intermodal Container Operations

Profit Tools builds business and operations software for commercial trucking companies who offer Intermodal, TL, LTL, or Brokerage services, and Multimode operations who combine any two or more of these services. Our intermodal capabilities address the full range of issues specific to container operations : free time and per diem tracking, chassis tracking, dispatch, billing, and driver settlement of chassis splits, yard pulls, crosstowns, repos, land bridge, live vs. drop & hook moves, local and road operations, reloads & street turns, transloads, etc. We handle your split 3rd party billing and capture the full range of accessorials and special charges that can be associated with intermodal trucking and container drayage operations, so they are a profit center, not a cost center for your business.

We handle per diem, storage, driver detention, chassis pickup & return, stopoff, fuel surcharge, etc. Profit Tools drag and drop dispatch works together with our dispatch dashboard and load / reload matching capabilities to make planning more effective and profitable. We can connect your container operation electronically to customers & 3rd parties via EDI, automated email notifications, and web tracking. We can eliminate the redundant manual work associated with 3rd party vendor interfaces like HUB and C.H. Robinson, driving all the required load tender, status update, equipment disposition, invoice and electronic documentation / POD functions directly from the Profit Tools system. Our in-cab and handheld mobile communications capabilities, utilizing leading vendors like QUALCOMM® and Nextel®, enable you to get your drivers and dispatchers off hold and off the phone, and eliminate costly delays and mistakes at the terminal.

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