Methodology
Outcomes are aggregated from TruckBill customer onboarding and published homepage / testimonial metrics (500+ teams). They describe operational billing effort—not a guarantee for every fleet size. We will replace rows with cohort medians as sample sizes grow.
Key takeaways
- Cycle time improves when POD and invoice share a trip ID.
- Daily billing chase shrinks when accounts stops re-typing LR into Excel.
- Go-live for transport billing workflows averages about two weeks—not a multi-month custom ERP.
