McLeod Software, Birmingham, Ala., announced an exclusive joint business venture with TruCost Systems, LLC, maker of a long-awaited activity-based trucking industry profitability system.
McLeod will incorporate TruCosting into LoadMaster, its flagship software package for trucking.
McLeod will soon provide the option of a unique profitability measurement by bundling the TruCosting software into its products. TruCosting can detail profitability to the level of a lane, a customer, or a business segment, which helps users increase the productivity of a truck.
TruCosting measures both direct and indirect costs based on distance and time and calculates a route’s efficiency based on expenses incurred by an individual truck. The truck’s variable expenses are measured by the mile; its fixed expenses are allocated based on the time absorbed by the load. Companies using the TruCosting can examine the profitability of their pricing, the cost of company-owned versus contractor-owned trucks, and the cost effects of time and distance. They can make better-informed dispatch decisions and increase overall truck productivity.
Based on Java2, LoadMaster enterprise-wide software is platform-independent and database-independent, and offers client/server distributed processing with a graphical user interface.
