Truckbase Alternative

A Truckbase Alternative for Fleets That Don’t Want a $3,480/Year Minimum

Truckbase is a good TMS. It also publishes a minimum of $290 a month, billed annually. If you run 1 to 30 trucks and want the same core workflow — dispatch, rate con import, settlements, invoicing, and a driver app — Truxello starts at $20 a month, month to month, and you can try all of it today without a sales call.

Where Truckbase is the better choice

We’d rather you pick the right tool than the cheap one. Truckbase is likely the better fit if:

You run 30 to 100 trucks and want a vendor with a larger team and a long track record.
You want guided, hands-on implementation as part of the package.
Published third-party reviews matter a lot in your decision. Truckbase has many more of them than we do today.
You need a billing model like per-load or flat annual for a seasonal operation.

Where Truxello is the better choice

You’re small or just getting started. A $290/month minimum is a lot for 1 to 10 trucks. Truxello is $20 for 2 trucks and $39 for 10.
You don’t want an annual commitment. Every Truxello plan is available month to month.
You want to try it before talking to anyone. Sign up, upload a real rate con, and run a real week of loads.
You pay a mix of people. Company drivers, owner-operators, tractor owners, dispatchers on commission, and salaried office staff, in one Pay Center.
You want IFTA and fuel cards in the same system. State miles from routes and gallons from EFS, WEX, or Comdata, with no separate IFTA tool.
Your drivers prefer Spanish. The Truxello Driver app ships in English and Spanish.
