Know your real cost per mile before you say yes to a load. A freight-decision app for owner-operators, built in Dallas–Fort Worth and in iOS beta.

This is a showcase repository. It shows what the product does, how it is built and what it looks like. The source code is private and is not published here.


The problem

A broker offers a load at a rate. Is it a good rate? Most owner-operators answer from gut feel, because the honest answer depends on things nobody does in their head at the dock: fuel, fixed costs, driver time, and the empty miles to get there and home.

TrueLane answers it in seconds, from the driver's own costs, and keeps working with no signal.

What it does

A verdict on every offer Put in the rate and the miles. Get below your cost, at market or above, with the line that explains why. Change an assumption and watch it move.
The deadhead flip The same offer can go from below your cost to at market when a load covers the way home. The app shows that, instead of hiding it.
Rate confirmations, read for you Photograph or import a rate confirmation. The app reads it, shows a check sheet to confirm, and adds the load to Upcoming.
A trip you can run with one hand Next stop, I've arrived, Mark loaded, all stops done. Seal numbers, dock waiting time and proof of delivery along the way.
Your own cost profile Four steps to set what your truck really costs to run. Every verdict is made from it.
Invoices from the trip The wrap-up goes straight to an invoice you can share.
Scorecards and analytics A scorecard for each trip and an analytics view across all of them.
Taxes and records The year's totals, a loads CSV export and an audit bundle.
Works offline The trip screen keeps working in airplane mode and syncs when the signal returns.

How it is built

  • iOS app in TypeScript on React Native and Expo.
  • Offline first. A local database on the phone is the source of truth while driving; a background sync reconciles with the server.
  • Server on Supabase (Postgres) with row-level security, signed-in accounts and storage for proof-of-delivery photos.
  • Document reading. A pipeline turns a photographed rate confirmation into structured fields, then asks the driver to confirm what it read before anything is saved.
  • Money math you can check. The cost and verdict logic is plain, deterministic code covered by an automated audit, not a black box.
  • Careful with data. Drivers' records stay theirs. Nothing is shared without an explicit choice.

Status

In beta on iOS (TestFlight), for owner-operators in the US. The same engine powers the TrueLane Dispatch Desk for fleets and dispatchers.
