One Desk.
Eight Services.
Every Mile.
The full back-office behind your authority — dispatch, safety, logbook, IFTA, accounting, admin, driver hiring, and MC setup. Built for owner-operators and small fleets running the western US.
Miles don't pay.
The drivers who
move them do.
Load boards, broker calls, rate sheets, carrier packets, invoicing. Dispatch is a full-time job most drivers are doing at a rest stop between shifts. American Smart Trucking is the desk that takes it back — so the truck keeps moving and the money catches up.
- 01. Rate Volatility Spot rates swing hourly. A fixed desk negotiates with market awareness and broker relationships, not desperation at the end of Friday.
- 02. Document Load Carrier packets, rate cons, BOLs, invoices. One team, one workflow — so paperwork doesn't cost you the next load.
- 03. Cash Flow Factoring, fuel cards, and same-day advances built into the desk. Friday never means waiting on a broker's Net-30.
Every side of the
trucking business, handled.
Dispatch
Load sourcing, broker credit checks, rate negotiation, and 24/7 coverage. A dedicated desk keeps your truck booked a week out.
Safety
DOT and FMCSA compliance, audits, driver qualification files, drug & alcohol programs. Stay audit-ready without the paperwork pile.
Logbook / ELD
Daily HOS review, violation fixes, ELD troubleshooting. We watch the logs so the DOT never has a reason to knock.
IFTA
Quarterly fuel tax filings, mileage reconciliation, state-by-state reporting. Filed on time, every quarter, every jurisdiction.
Accounting
Invoicing, settlements, collections, payroll. The money side of the business on one desk, one workflow.
Administration
Permits, registrations, carrier packets, day-to-day paperwork. We handle the admin so drivers stay on the road.
Driver Hiring
CDL recruitment — OTR, local, and regional. Pre-screened, background-checked, DQ-file ready on day one.
MC Setup
New authority, MC/DOT numbers, BOC-3, UCR, insurance filings. From application to first loaded mile in under 30 days.
Eight years of
booked loads and
cleared audits.
Most of our carriers started with one truck. The same desk they called on day one still answers the radio now that they're running a fleet — because a partnership is the whole product.
