Trucking Software - Driver Settlement

Good drivers are hard to find, and just as hard to keep. And, the company may require to pay them precisely and promptly to keep them under its rolls. Truck drivers are under paid, over worked, and hated by non-truckers. Most people think that big trucks do nothing more than 'clog' the highways and make it tough for them to drive their 4 wheelers securely around the country side. Practically all non-truckers would like trucks kept away from the highways.

But, the reality is that, if you desire, you can form an economic system that uses 'just in time' transport of everything (food, inventory, parts, etc.), and that system utilizes trucks for 85% of all that movement of 'everything'. As much as you like trucks, you would like to see a lot of the 'long distance' freight put back on the railroads, so as to relieve the burden and 'tension' on the highways. But, railroads have tried, and failed to meet 'just in time' restrictions on deliveries of time sensitive freight. Truckers do this 'just in time' stuff so well and think nothing of it.

Truck drivers work hard and go through many lonely hours away from home seeking to earn a barely decent wage. Drivers are not getting rich driving a truck.  Though, you can meet a few owner operators and independents that are making a decent living transporting specialized cargo. Truck driver management software helps the transportation companies to keep the track record of driver’s daily log, payment, and management. 

The manual labor related with calculating the settlement is hard and is error prone. The Driver Settlement Software offers an automated solution to this problem – it assists calculate the monetary compensation for the drivers over a period of time, in a readable and professional format. The driver settlement program avoids the headache related with going through the different methods in calculating the final payment.

Driver settlement is the next step after driver commission and distribution is generated. A variety of information is accessed prior to calculating the final payment. The truck driver’s management software receives precise trip details from the dispatch module. As the user enters the pay dates, the driver settlement program finds out the base commission from driver commission section. It then calculates any fixed or variable deduction (accessed from driver setup) and delivers the total pay. Taxable and non-taxable pay is accounted for while pay, charge back, and reimbursement information is applied and audited accordingly. If all totals are right, the operator can print and issue a check for the driver.

The user can issue a driver settlement report that describes the line item details of the settlement check. The tool also assists generate driver expense reports, advance reports, and payment work sheets, which enables the company to keep tab of the settlement transactions. Its error-free export and posting functions makes sure that the settlement data is relocated to third party accounting programs, to be used at a later stage of accounting and auditing. For example, driver settlement information is relocated automatically to Payroll for further use.
