Getting Your Account Active
Text START to 978-878-2547 (that's 978-TruckIQ). The system will ask you for your MC number and a few basic details. It runs an automatic FMCSA SAFER lookup to verify your authority is active, and your account is set up in about 90 seconds.
That's the entire onboarding. No email signup, no password, no browser. If you can send a text, you're done.
Turning a Rate Con Into a Load Record
When a broker emails you a rate confirmation, forward it by text to TruckIQ. The system reads the rate con and pulls out the structured details — pickup location, delivery location, rate, broker name, reference number, and pay terms.
You get a clean summary back by text. No re-typing, no spreadsheet. The load is now in your system and ready for dispatch.
Sending Dispatch to Your Driver
Once a load is in the system, TruckIQ generates a driver-ready dispatch text. It covers the pickup address, delivery address, load reference number, and any instructions pulled from the rate con.
You review it, then forward it to whoever is running that load. Your driver gets a clear, professional dispatch text from you — TruckIQ never contacts your drivers directly. The tool is yours. Your drivers never touch it.
Keeping Brokers Updated on Location
Some brokers require check calls or location updates. TruckIQ can send scheduled location-update emails to brokers on your behalf. You text in the update — where the truck is, any delays — and the system formats and sends a professional email to the broker.
This keeps you compliant with broker check-call requirements without you having to write emails or make calls mid-day.
Invoicing When the Load Delivers
When your driver gets a signed POD, have them send you a photo of it. You forward that photo to TruckIQ by text. The system takes the POD photo, matches it to the load record, and builds a professional invoice packet — then emails it directly to the broker.
The invoice packet includes the invoice itself, the rate con, and the POD. That's the standard set most brokers require for payment. You never have to open email, find the rate con, or format anything.
If you're factoring, you can forward the same packet to your factoring company. TruckIQ gives you what you need to get paid either way.
Tracking Who Owes You and Who's Late
TruckIQ tracks accounts receivable for every load you run through it. It watches the payment terms from the rate con — typically net-21 or net-30 — and flags brokers when they go past their window.
You get a text alert when a broker is overdue. That's your prompt to follow up before the balance gets older and harder to collect.
This isn't a full accounting system and it doesn't replace your bookkeeper or your tax software. But it tells you, in plain text, who owes you money and how many days they're past due — which is the piece most small fleet owners are losing track of.
Text START to 978-878-2547 and forward your next rate con — TruckIQ will parse it, build the load record, and have a dispatch text ready for you before you finish your coffee.
