Company: [Company Not Saved]

Save your company defaults, cost targets, Total Protection %, MPG assumptions, and maintenance data for the rest of the app.

1. Company

Used for invoices, signatures, and the app header.

2. Expenses

Build your fixed-cost ledger here. Household + Business totals auto-calculate from these saved lines.

Added Expenses (0)
No saved expense lines yet.

Household: $0.00/mo • Business: $0.00/mo • Total: $0.00/mo

3. Mode & Targets

Carrier Mode (Fleet Tools)

Carrier Mode is isolated. It does not change Scenario/Actual math. Fleet reads saved Actual loads and creates separate settlement records.

ELD Integration

Connect an ELD provider here, keep tokens off the browser, and pull live truck, driver, and HOS data into Fleet.

Sign in and connect a provider to start syncing ELD data into Fleet.

Provider Label Status Last Sync Last Result
No ELD connections loaded.

4. Time Defaults

These are your reusable timing defaults for Scenario/Actual.

Trip Miles Auto-Calc: Google Maps routing is enabled in this build.
No API key entry needed on new devices. (Key is embedded + restricted by referrer in Google Cloud.)

5. Total Protection

Safe
Covers taxes + breakdowns + slow weeks

Maintenance (Oil Change)

Configure oil change tracking here. The maintenance dot at the top will reflect your status (OK / Due Soon / Overdue).

6. Reserve + Bank (Starting Balances)

Optional. Totals screen will add these starting balances to computed Reserve/Bank totals from saved Actual loads.

Use these buttons to move saved data from one account to another. Import rewrites the data into the account currently signed in on this device.

🔐 What Settings Can’t Change
  • Scenario math / formulas
  • O.T.R.A.F.F calculation method
  • Actual history / totals

If it affects money math, time math, or truth — it does not belong in Settings.

TMS Health Check Bot Open the internal checker from Settings.

Gate (Internal) — Regional Minimum Rate

Driver-only minimum-rate calculator with realistic regional and time-away factors. This does not replace the original Gate (shipper-facing) tab.

Show Calculation Breakdown

Standard Mode — TMS National Operating Baseline™

Locked national baseline (no driver/broker tweaking). Uses the miles + fuel price already entered in Gate (Internal).

Gate (Invite-Only Shipper Quote)

Shipper-facing reverse quote tool based on lane variables only. Carrier cost basis is read-only and pulled from Settings.

⚪️ Waiting for inputs…

Carrier Fixed Cost Basis (read-only)

Lane Variables (shipper enters)

Specialized Freight Gate (auto)

Enter load dimensions and choose route states. Specialized freight logic covers oversize, heavy-haul, permit, and escort-sensitive movement. Costs can be overridden per-state for closures, scarcity, and pilot-car availability.

Specialty Trailer Positioning (Included)
Included because specialty trailers often cannot secure a reload immediately.

Applied State Rules (shipper-visible)

Waiting for inputs…
What this “Gate” is for
  • Show a shipper the minimum a real truck needs to run a lane without cheap-freight damage.
  • Make the negotiation start with transparency: time away + fuel + fixed basis + risk.
  • Later: invite-only shipper accounts → direct messaging → posted loads → select vetted carriers.

Scenario (Negotiation + Verification Engine)

Scenario is your live negotiation and verification engine, and Accept creates a Booked - Awaiting Details pre-trip snapshot.

HOS Status (Optional)

HOS Intelligence is a planning aid only and not a certified ELD or legal logbook.

HOS Quick Check
Run Scenario to see legal feasibility and adjusted O.T.R.A.F.F.
Profit without legal time is not real profit.
HOS Feasibility Check will appear here.
Stops & Routing (Advanced)

Unlimited extra stops. Each extra stop adds at least 1 hour, and required stop pay includes time plus deviation miles.

Route Verification (ZIP / City optional)

Enter route locations and click verification to update route miles. If live map verification is unavailable, your manual miles stay in place as the fallback.

Scenario is live. Decline clears the lane. Accept creates a booked pre-trip snapshot and opens it in Trip for details.

OTRAFF

🔒 Transparent outputs. Sealed assumptions. This tab shows advisory results and broker-ready summaries without exposing internal engine assumptions. Accept/Reject remains a manual driver decision.

System recommends only. Final Accept / Reject stays manual with the driver. Scenario email is generated on run; Actual email includes delivery placeholders and a scenario-vs-actual variance section.
Run OTRAFF™ to generate the sealed scoreboard.

Trip

Create a Trip record (who/where) and save it. Scenario stays isolated.

Trip Decision Engine
Left = you enter. Right = system speaks.
Trip HOS Intelligence (Advisory)

HOS Intelligence is a planning aid only and not a certified ELD or legal logbook.

HOS Quick Check
