    You are not listening, which means you wasted our time telling you not to do this until you have enough knowledge in running a business.

    I think we all know 97% of these types of posts the dumb spits are never gonna own a truck.

    So yes, the time is wasted beyond trying to impress upon the populace how much we think we know.

    Awesome replies. It's a simple question to answer. I didn't ask for business advice, just info from what kind of TMS software any owner operators use.
    I don't get the extreme butthurt being caused by asking O/O's questions in an Ask an Owner Operator forum.

    Because guys waste their time with serious concerns, while you troll. Obviously trolling, cause nobody in their right mind thinks you can hire qualified truck drivers in the same manner as you hire stockers for Wal Mart.

    none at all. There is this rare condition called common sense. It means someone can think small issues through without a computer telling them everything like a robot. Unfortunately, I am plagued by this condition. There are entirely too many individuals who think everything they need is online, this is bs. You do not need “management software” for 2-3 trucks. I know of a fellow that dispatches 30 trucks, with a yellow tablet with blue lined paper. Very, very few hiccups either

    A better way to ask the question would be "I'm looking at the various software available, and I like the looks of XXX and YYY. Does anybody have experience with either or is there something else that you like?"

    This way it shows you've done at least a Google search and read some promos. The way you asked makes it seem like you're too lazy to look for resources.

    A lot of that "cheap" software was designed by truckers, for truckers, using trucker math and logic. LOL

    I've got a list from google and AI already. I'm asking what others use. The #### is the deal with the sensitivity on this board?

    Because you're approaching this with the attitude of a kid trying to weasel their parents into doing their homework for them.

    By asking specific, complex questions you show an engagement with the topic. From your searches, which programs did you like best and why? Are any pricier and do you see any value in the additional features? What are you primarily looking to get out of the software?
