Tread is the operating system for bulk materials hauling. Every workflow — dispatch, tickets, approvals, billing, driver pay — sits on top of the same eleven concepts. Learn them once and the rest of the product makes sense.The eleven concepts
Companies & Hierarchy
Single company by default. Parent/child only for real regional splits.
Connected Ecosystem
How Customer, Primary Co, Vendor, and Driver chain together.
Sites & Geofences
Lat/long pins with virtual fences that detect arrival and departure.
Equipment & Equipment Types
Types hold capacity. Equipment is the physical truck or trailer.
Materials
What gets hauled. Pulled from accounting. Prevailing-wage flagged per item.
Orders & Projects
Projects are the container. Orders are the daily work inside them.
Tickets & Timesheets
The proof of work. Load tickets and driver hours.
Settlements & Driver Pay
Approve, then settle. Receivables and payables run on different rules.
Rates, Add-Ons & Fuel
Three components: price index, schedule, application.
Roles & Permissions
Who sees what. Drivers must never see customer rates.
