What Made This Fleet Choose Datatruck Over Mcleod

U.S. trucking company with 150+ trucks made a bold move: they left Mcleod and transitioned fully to Datatruck. The results? Faster workflows, real-time visibility, and 10x lower costs.



The Problem with Mcleod


As the fleet grew, the cracks in their legacy system started to show. With Mcleod, the team struggled daily with:


– Manual data entry across departments

– Manual invoicing that delayed billing cycles

– Manual driver salary calculations, prone to errors and delays

– Zero financial visibility, making it hard to track profit or loss per load

– A system that required constant in-house maintenance

– And worst of all — all of this came with a high price tag.

They were spending too much time and money just to stay operational.




Why They Switched to Datatruck


Datatruck offered a clear alternative: a smarter, AI-powered TMS that automates the entire back office.



With Datatruck, they gained:


– Automated data entry, reducing human error and saving hours of admin time

– AI-powered invoicing and salary calculation, done in minutes instead of hours

– Instant financial visibility — they can now see profits, costs, and trends in real time

– A fully cloud-based platform, eliminating maintenance headaches

– Massive cost savings — they now pay a fraction of what they were paying Mcleod




The Outcome

– Operate faster and more efficiently

– Eliminate manual work across the board

– Make smarter, data-backed decisions

– Reduce software and maintenance costs by 10x
