    Have a small fleet of trucks and looking for software to help plan and manage utilization of the trucks. we have dedicated freight but looking for software to help organize the loads and see what the drivers utilization is per week etc.

    low to no cost for now

    From an arrogant MBA trying to make a name........

    "There's 168 hours in a week, I want those trucks rolling 100 hrs and the mechanics can work on them the other 68" "I want 62% utilization"

    That BS and a calculator will get you started.....

    Stick to spreadsheets and ITS if you use it. Software is expensive unless you can hire a college recent grad and pay him to write you a program.
    My family owns a small fleet of over 20 trucks, last time we checked on software prices and conveniences they were north of $30k
