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

– Operate faster and more efficiently
– Eliminate manual work across the board
