What is Tread
Tread is the operating system for bulk materials hauling. Producers, contractors, and haulers use Tread to dispatch trucks, capture tickets, approve work, and bill customers — all from one platform. Tread Horizon is the web app for office staff. The Driver and Foreman apps run on phones in the field. Both connect to the same data.Where to start

Who uses Tread
Each segment tracks a different unit of work. Tread keeps that unit at the center of dispatch, approvals, and billing.| Segment | Who they are | Primary unit |
|---|---|---|
| Producers | Aggregate plants, asphalt plants, ready-mix-feeding cement | Tons delivered |
| Contractors | Excavation, paving, site work | Timesheets and loads |
| Haulers | Trucking fleets that move material for others | Loads and trucks |
| Brokers | Manage external trucking on behalf of producers or contractors | Trucking relationships |
| Owner-Operators (O&Os) | Single-truck or small-fleet drivers | Loads per truck |
