Dirt Rocks Accelerates Productivity and Cash Flow with TruckIT

— Days-to-pay reduced from 60 + days to a 30 day average–

CORPUS CHRISTI, TX — Dirt Rocks, a leading aggregate logistics provider operating across Texas and Louisiana, significantly improved operational efficiency and cash flow by deploying TruckIT’s transportation and material management technology with E-Ticketing across its large-scale jobsite operations.

Dirt Rocks specializes in complex logistics for LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) facilities and major infrastructure projects. The company manages material movement across hundreds of acres and,
on peak days, coordinates up to 400 trucks on a single job site. Legacy systems and manual paper ticket collection processes previously slowed on-site operations, invoicing, and extended payment cycles.

“At the scale we operate, cash flow lives or dies by how fast and accurate ticket data funnels from the field to the contractor,” said Jeremy Bell, President of Dirt Rocks.

“We had technology in place before TruckIT, but it was clunky and adoption in the field just wasn’t there. Without adoption, there are data gaps. We also found that in our experience the technology typically favored contractors to the detriment of haulers or the other way around. Now we have a tool delivering greater value for both sides with shared visibility.”

Before TruckIT, there was uneven adoption among independent haulers which meant Dirt Rocks was only able to actively manage a small portion of its projects digitally. Many jobs ran without real-time visibility, which slowed ticket reconciliation, work verification, and pushed days-to-pay to more than 60 days out.

TruckIT’s rollout changed Dirt Rock’s operations immediately. In just 10 days, Dirt Rocks was able to bring 17 projects online with their team and the haulers quickly adopting the technology due to its ease of use.

“Initially, we asked for a 45-day pilot,” Bell said, “but I think we only stayed on the pilot for 16 days. That’s how fast it clicked.”

Organizational Impact

TruckIT digitizes tickets at the source and delivers accurate, contractor-ready business intelligence in real time. As a result, Dirt Rocks enhanced their service value to customers while shortening payment cycles and reducing working capital strain.

AI powered E-Ticketing eliminated lost and inaccurate paper tickets
Elevated user productivity and asset optimization lowered costs
Days-to-pay reduced from 60 + days to a 30-day average
Faster invoicing lead to more predictable cash flow

“The immediate value is the contractor having the data to better manage their daily production and pay faster,” Bell said. “When ticket data is clean and instantly accessible for everyone, cash moves faster.”

TruckIT’s throughput and product suite have positioned the company as a long-term, integrated partner for Dirt Rocks rather than just a software vendor.

Prior to co-founding TruckIT, CEO Andrew Lindsay’s construction company, Astra Group, built major infrastructure projects across the United States.

“I’ll suggest features all the time, but most of the time they’ve beaten me to it.” said Bell. “That’s how advanced the TruckIT platform is.”

According to Dirt Rocks, that level of industry foresight and responsiveness reflects a platform designed by people who understand the realities of the job site.

“TruckIT has a deep understanding of how contractors actually operate, and that shows up in the product,” continued Bell.

TruckIT’s thoughtful design and advanced geofencing allow Dirt Rocks and it’s customers to track truck and material movement across massive job sites with precision. Sub-geofences within a single project provide granular visibility into specific delivery zones and stockpiles. Contractors use that insight to reduce congestion by better coordinating crews and equipment.

“If I’m a superintendent and know a truck or trucks have breached the gate and within a few hundred yards of me, that changes everything,” Bell said. “With that information, I can relieve congestion, reduce equipment tension, and keep the job moving by being prepared for what’s coming.”

Data That Drives Better Decisions

Dirt Rocks also relies on TruckIT’s analytics and reporting to optimize loader utilization, manage pit balance, and plan rail operations.

“We use the live feeds to run our rail plans,” Bell said. “We know when a truck will be back, how long it sat at the loader, and how long we need to run our equipment. Having that level of data and not having to guess directly impacts cost and cash.”

Rapid Adoption, Minimal Support

TruckIT’s intuitive, bilingual interface drove rapid adoption across broker-driven and highly fragmented markets.

“It’s incredibly easy for haulers,” Bell said. “They’re collecting their own tickets as fast as we are, and it requires very little support. That’s why adoption took off.”

A Platform Built for Heavy Construction

TruckIT’s ongoing innovation, driven by advances in artificial intelligence coupled with its industry-first design, is a game-changer for their customers.

The State of the Dirt World: Why Now Is the Time to Evolve

The Dirt World Comes Together

TruckIT attended the 2025 Dirt World Summit, presented by BuildWitt and Ariat. More than 1,300 construction leaders came together to talk about the future of this industry, what’s working, what’s not, and what has to change to keep the dirt world moving forward.

The event focused on one big idea: if we want to build better, we’ve got to think differently about how we do the work.

Facing the Hard Truth About Our Industry

Aaron Witt, known across the country as the Dirt Nerd, didn’t hold back when talking about the state of construction today. The U.S. has more project funding available than ever before, billions flowing into infrastructure and private development, yet many contractors are struggling to keep up.

Part of the problem is people. The construction workforce keeps shrinking, and fewer young folks are choosing to enter the trades. The reasons aren’t hard to see. The work is tough, the wages haven’t kept pace with inflation, and the day-to-day grind hasn’t changed much in decades. Long hours, physical wear and tear, and growing mental health challenges are taking their toll.

Aaron’s point was clear: our outdated methods are driving people away and holding back growth. Paper tickets, manual dispatching, and disconnected communication make simple tasks harder than they need to be. Crews get buried in busywork instead of focusing on production. Dispatchers spend hours chasing information that could be shared instantly. The result is burnout, frustration, and lost opportunity.

The good news is that change is possible. Around the world, companies are proving that new technology doesn’t just make operations more efficient, it makes work better for the people doing it. Digital ticketing, automation, and smarter communication tools can reduce stress, improve accuracy, and help teams get more done with less friction.

If we want to attract and keep the next generation of workers, we have to show them that construction is evolving, that this industry values their time, safety, and skill. That change starts by rethinking the tools and systems we use every day.

Examples Worth Paying Attention To

When Aaron travels, he sees what happens when leaders stop clinging to old habits and start trying new things.

In Chile, a mining company facing a labor shortage took a bold step: they opened their doors to more women on the crew. That decision forced them to rethink their facilities, tools, and even safety gear. It wasn’t easy at first, but it paid off. The company built a stronger, more stable workforce, improved efficiency, and showed the rest of the industry what progress can look like when you challenge tradition.

In Australia, a quarry introduced autonomous haul trucks to handle repetitive load cycles. The technology didn’t replace operators; it freed them up to focus on planning, maintenance, and higher-value work. By trusting the process and investing in experimentation, that company gained consistency, reduced downtime, and created safer conditions on site.

Both examples prove a key point: growth requires discomfort. The companies that thrive aren’t the ones clinging to old routines; they’re the ones willing to test new ideas, fail fast, and learn their way into something better.

Innovation doesn’t always mean massive investments or overhauls. Sometimes it’s as simple as rethinking a process, automating a step, or giving your people tools that make their work easier and safer. The future of this industry will belong to the builders who keep improving instead of just getting by.

Why It Matters Here at Home

Here in the U.S., there’s plenty of work to go around, but keeping up with it is another story. Most companies are busier than ever, yet margins are tight, labor is scarce, and back-office tasks are piling up.

Every hour spent tracking down paper tickets, every load logged by hand, every miscommunication between the field and office eats into profits. It also wears people down. In an industry already facing burnout, wasted time is more than an inconvenience; it’s a problem that affects safety, retention, and company growth.

The fix isn’t complicated. It starts with being willing to look at what slows us down and asking, “Is there a better way to do this?” For most companies, there is. The answer lies in tools and software built specifically for construction, simple systems that connect the field, dispatch, and office so information flows without bottlenecks.

This isn’t about chasing the latest tech trend. It’s about making smart, realistic changes that help your people do their jobs better, faster, and safer.

Why TruckIT Was There

That’s exactly why TruckIT showed up at the Dirt World Summit. We wanted to demonstrate that real solutions are available right now, helping contractors reduce friction with their customers, boost productivity, and save time.

We weren’t there to push technology for the sake of technology. We were there to listen and to share what we’ve built after years of working directly with haulers, dispatchers, and project managers. The feedback we heard was familiar: there’s never enough time, the paperwork never ends, and everyone’s trying to do more with less.

TruckIT helps fix that. Our platform replaces manual, paper-heavy processes with digital workflows that make the day run smoother, from dispatch to delivery to billing. We help contractors track loads, streamline communication, and reconcile tickets automatically, using the equipment and devices they already have.

How One Choice Logistics Solved Cash Flow Chaos with TruckIT + Bolton Capital

When you’re running hundreds of dump trucks, cash flow can make or break your business.

One Choice Logistics out of Davie, Florida, found that out the hard way.

They were growing fast, more trucks, bigger contracts, more invoices, but those same 60- to 90-day payment terms were choking their cash flow.
Instead of slowing down, they teamed up with TruckIT and Bolton Capital to turn finished jobs into paid invoices in as little as 48 hours.

The Challenge: Growing Fast, Waiting Even Longer

Like most hauling companies, One Choice Logistics built its reputation the right way by showing up, getting the job done, and paying drivers on time. But as the business took on bigger projects across South and Central Florida, the numbers started working against them.

Weekly payroll, monthly material bills, and 60–90 day customer payments created a serious cash crunch. They were stuck floating hundreds of thousands in receivables while still keeping 250 owner-operators rolling.

“We pride ourselves on paying our drivers and subs on time, every time,” said CEO Azohani “Nani” Bernal. “But the bigger the contracts we won, the tighter our cash flow got. It was stressful trying to keep everyone paid while waiting on checks.”

That story’s not unique, in construction, you can be profitable on paper and broke in real life if your money’s tied up in invoices.

The Solution: Turning Jobs Into Cash in 48 Hours

One Choice turned to TruckIT, the market leader in digitizing and optimizing the bulk hauling supply chain, and its financial partner, Bolton Capital. Together, they built a system that keeps cash moving as fast as the trucks themselves.

Here’s how it works:

Drivers complete a job and log the e-Ticket through TruckIT’s digital platform, no paper, no lost tickets.
Those verified tickets are automatically matched to invoices.
Bolton Capital reviews and funds the verified invoices — sometimes in less than two business days.

In one week alone, One Choice submitted $600,000 in invoices through the TruckIT platform. Bolton funded $400,000 in 48 hours, and the remaining $200,000 the following Monday.

That simple change, going from paper tickets and long waits to verified digital records and same-week pay, completely flipped the script for their business.

“Bolton and TruckIT helped us change the game,” said Bernal. “They’re part of our team now, helping keep our drivers, subcontractors, and customers paid and happy.

The Results: Stronger Cash Flow, Happier Drivers

Once One Choice connected TruckIT and Bolton Capital, the difference was immediate.

Cash flow stabilized. Instead of waiting 60 to 90 days for customer payments, money started hitting their account within 48 hours of job completion. That gave them the breathing room to take on more work without worrying about payroll.

Drivers got paid on time, every time. That reliability built loyalty across their 250-truck network, keeping good haulers behind the wheel and reducing turnover.

Back-office stress disappeared. No more chasing paper tickets, no more manual reconciliations. TruckIT’s digital e-Ticketing made invoicing clean and fast, while Bolton’s funding kept the operation running smoothly.

“For six months, I was stressed out 24/7 about making payroll,” said Bernal. “Now, I can breathe. TruckIT and Bolton made my life easier.”

CEO Andrew Lindsay of TruckIT summed it up well:

“Through our partnership with Bolton, we’re not just improving efficiency, we’re helping haulers like One Choice run their business effectively and strategically.”

How You Can Keep the Cash Flowing Too

If you’re in the hauling business, you know this story all too well.
You finish the work, your drivers are waiting on pay, and your customers are sitting on your money.

TruckIT and Bolton Capital built a simple, practical solution to that problem:
Digitize your operations. Verify every load. Get paid faster.

With TruckIT’s e-Ticketing, optimized dispatching, and invoice automation, your paperwork moves as fast as your trucks. And with Bolton Capital’s same-day funding, you can stop sweating payroll and start planning your next big job.

Whether you run ten trucks or two hundred, you deserve the same kind of peace of mind that One Choice Logistics found.
