Coal and bulk haulage

Coal transport software: tonnage, overload charges and fuel, truck by truck, trip by trip

Mine or siding to plant on a fixed contract, hundreds of trips a month, weight on every one, charges at every border, and diesel that decides the margin. Built for coal, ash and bulk-cargo transporters.

*No credit card required

What coal haulage needs

Weight on every trip

Loaded Capacity, In Time and Out Time as custom fields on the booking; Material for the grade.

Overload and border charges

Expenses recorded on the trip by name, such as an overload penalty, a border charge or a toll, sent by the driver on WhatsApp or entered by the office.

Fuel per km per truck

Every fill with odometer; km per litre and cost per km; trucks below expected mileage flagged.

Own and hired trucks

Market trucks carry their owner as supplier; his rate on the booking; his bill from it.

One invoice per plant

Pick the period's trips on one invoice with tax, HSN, RCM and TDS; ageing after that.

Profit per truck

Revenue, supplier hire, fuel, driver payments, expenses and profit per vehicle, for any period.

Bring one month of trip sheets

A 30-minute demo where we import them, add the border charges and show profit per truck. No credit card, no setup fee.

Where a coal contract loses money

  • Charges nobody booked. Overload fines, border charges and police money paid by the driver in cash and never costed to the trip.
  • Fuel. Loaded one way, empty the other; a truck below expected mileage costs more than it earns.
  • Trip counts. The plant's weighbridge sheet and your register disagree; with a booking per trip and loaded weight on it, the count is yours.
  • Hired trucks. Owners paid from a message; TDS on hire missed; with a bill per hire it is a list, not a memory.

Road expenses from the driver

The driver sends the slip or a message on WhatsApp; AI Inbox proposes an expense on the right booking; you approve. If he paid it himself, it is on his balance and settled in the payroll run. The expense list shows reference number, booking, name, date and amount; filter by name to see what the month paid at borders.

Compliance papers

Permits, fitness, insurance and tax on Document Tracking with next-reminder dates and an Overdue status; driver licences on the Employee tab. A truck stopped at a checkpost on an expired permit is a day of tonnage lost.

One trip

  1. Book it with plant, loaded weight, truck and driver.
  2. The driver fuels and sends the slip; it becomes a fuel entry with odometer.
  3. Border and overload charges go on the trip, from the driver's message or the office.
  4. At period-end, invoice the plant from the trips; bill the hired-truck owners.
  5. Read profit per truck; chase the plant's balance from the ageing report.
