Create and run your first load
From booking a load to marking it delivered — the loop that powers every profit number in Truckcess.
- Open Operations and click New load Operations is your load board — every load lives in one of four columns: Planned, Dispatched, In transit, and Delivered. Click the New load button (circled) in the top-right to book your first one.
- Enter the load details Fill in the pickup and drop-off (the address fields autocomplete), the rate you agreed to, and the miles. Assign your truck and driver now or later — everything here can be edited afterward in the full load editor. Tip: The rate you enter becomes the load's revenue everywhere — the dashboard, invoicing, and profit-per-mile all read from it.
- Advance the load as the week unfolds Drag the card between columns as the load progresses, or click it and use the Stage selector (circled) in the side panel. When a load goes In transit, Truckcess snapshots your truck's odometer so mileage is measured from the moment the wheels turn.
- Complete the load with real miles Moving a load to Delivered opens the completion dialog. Enter the truck's ending odometer (1) — this keeps mileage, maintenance reminders, and cost-per-mile honest. Record any deadhead miles you ran empty (2), then click Complete load (3). Tip: Skipping the odometer still works — Truckcess falls back to the planned miles — but the real reading is what makes your cost-per-mile audit-grade.
