Truckbase alternatives for heavy haul

Last checked Nov 7, 2026. Every competitor fact links to the page it came from. Where a vendor’s product documents are not public, a feature we could not find is marked “not shown on their public site as of Nov 2026”, not missing.

Look for an alternative if

• Most of your loads are oversize and you want axle limits and bridge checks on the load. On Truckbase these are not shown on their public site as of Nov 2026. Source
• You want escort assignments and escort pay on each load. Truckbase’s heavy haul page lists pilot costs attached to a load; escort assignments and pay are not shown on their public site as of Nov 2026. Source
• You would rather pay month to month with no annual minimum. Truckbase’s minimum is $290 a month, billed annually. Source

Stay with Truckbase if

• You need Truckbase’s QuickBooks sync, more than 30 ELD integrations, EDI and driver app today. Source
• Most of your freight is flatbed or standard loads, and permits are a small part of the week.
• Your team already knows it and it does the job. Switching costs time.

The options

• ThirteenSix

  Operations software for heavy haul, crane and rigging carriers. New in 2026. Permits per state on each load, dispatch held when a recorded permit or escort is missing, escort bookings with their cost, and escort rules for 46 states and DC. Michigan publishes only its superload limits, and Arizona, Idaho and Massachusetts set escorts per route or permit.

  Axle limits for all 50 states and DC and a Bridge Formula B check on each load, shown as advice; they never block dispatch.

  Price: $65, then $55, then $45 per truck a month as the fleet grows, every user included, month to month. 10% off for paying a year up front. Pricing

  QuickBooks: QuickBooks export (live sync coming). Invoices with sales tax are left out of the export.

Price by fleet size, a month

Worked out from each vendor’s published price. Where a vendor prices per load, per user or by demo, we say so instead of guessing. Tracx prices per asset; we counted one asset per truck, so check with Tracx which units count. Source

• Oversize load holiday, weekend, night and city curfew restrictions by state
