fleetchart vs TruckingOffice
TruckingOffice is a trucking management system: dispatch, invoicing, driver settlements, IFTA miles and fuel by state, maintenance, and its own ELD, starting at $25 a month on its published pricing. fleetchart is a financial record: it reads the rate con PDF, then shows profit per truck per mile, all-in cost per mile and which brokers pay under your own average. It costs more and does not dispatch.

Both products are sold to small carriers, so they get compared. They start from different questions. TruckingOffice starts from the load you are about to dispatch: enter the details when you book, send the instructions to the driver, invoice it, pay the driver, and keep the IFTA miles and gallons. fleetchart starts from the paperwork a load leaves behind and asks whether the truck made money on it.
Everything said here about TruckingOffice comes from its own public website, read on September 30, 2026, and is cited at the bottom of the page. Where its pages don't describe something, we say that, rather than guessing whether it exists.

Choose fleetchart when

- Typing load details off rate cons is where your evenings go
- You fuel on EFS or Comdata and want every fill-up on the right truck without typing receipts
- You run Motive and want its miles feeding your IFTA worksheet and cost per mile
Stay with TruckingOffice when
- You want dispatch, invoicing, settlements and IFTA in one lower-priced system

The honest answer
If you need a system to run dispatch and you watch every dollar, TruckingOffice's published pricing and feature list make it a sensible choice. If dispatch already works and your real question is which trucks, lanes and brokers are paying you, that is the job fleetchart is built for. Some carriers will want both. Try each on a week of your own loads before you pick.
Questions
- Is TruckingOffice cheaper than fleetchart?
- On published prices, yes. TruckingOffice's pricing page (checked September 30, 2026) lists Basic plans from $25 to $90 a month and Pro plans from $35 to $130 a month by fleet size. fleetchart is $49.99 to $299.99 a month, flat by fleet size, every feature included. Check both pages for current prices.
- Does fleetchart do dispatch like TruckingOffice?
- No. fleetchart is not a dispatch system. It builds the load from the rate con and tracks what the load earned and cost. If you need to dispatch from software, a TMS like TruckingOffice does that.
- Which one handles IFTA?
- Both keep miles and fuel by state. TruckingOffice's features page says it calculates IFTA payments. fleetchart builds a quarterly worksheet of miles and fuel by state, flags things that look off, and sends it to your preparer. fleetchart does not file IFTA returns.
