What Trux does

Trux, Inc. is a Boston-based vertical SaaS and marketplace company, founded in 2015, that builds software for dump-truck logistics in the U.S. construction materials industry. Its platform, the Trux Technology Platform, is a cloud-based, multi-tenant SaaS that combines a web application with native mobile apps (TruxNow, Trux Drive, TruxConnect) and integrates with scale systems, ERPs, accounting systems, quoting systems, and identity providers (Google Workspace SSO via OAuth 2.0, OneLogin SSO via SAML 2.0). Core product lines are Trux Materials (dispatching and delivery logistics for aggregate, asphalt, sand, and salt producers), Trux Construction (fleet management for heavy/civil contractors managing internal and subcontracted haulers), and Trux Ticketing (cloud ticketing software for quarries, pits, and HMA plants with paperless E-ticketing and an Offline Mode). The Trux Marketplace is a two-sided platform connecting material producers and contractors posting Shipment Assignments with fleet owners, owner-operators, and brokers, with daily liquidity of 34 haulers taking their first shift on the materials side and 30 on the construction side, and cumulative hauler payments exceeding $1.3B. Trux Drive is a driver-facing mobile app (4.7/5 App Store rating) used for punch-in/punch-out, marketplace work, digital tickets, earnings tracking, and weekly direct payment. Supporting services include Trux Pay (consolidated weekly ACH payments to haulers, powered by Stripe), Trux Analytics, the Trux Chrome Experience, and a Ticket Transcription Service that uses OCR/computer vision to convert physical scale tickets into structured data.

Trux monetizes through a hybrid model: recurring SaaS subscriptions (Service Fees set per Order Form, tiered by authorized users or ticket volume), a marketplace take rate on completed Shipment Assignments, usage-based ticketing overage fees, per-ticket transcription fees, and optional transition/professional services. Commercial terms are governed by individually executed Order Forms with no public price list, and late payments accrue interest at 18% per annum. Go-to-market is dual-motion: enterprise customers (material producers, contractors) are sold via demo-led inside sales with a 1-800 support line, while haulers self-onboard through app.truxnow.com and the iOS App Store — a structure reinforced by a formal "Refer Someone to Trux" referral program. Trux's customer base spans enterprise producers (Vulcan Materials), mid-market contractors and producers (U.S. Pavement Services, Pavecon, Dunn Construction, Charbon Contracting, Case Snow), and SMBs and owner-operators (Harness Solutions, T&K Asphalt). All operations are U.S.-domestic (USD only), governed by Massachusetts law, and the company has 51–100 employees with a leadership team that includes Doug Haugh (Chairman), Donald Lee (President/COO), Jonathan Dorant (CFO), Jay Pennington (CTO), Heath Umbach (VP Marketing), and Kathy Breslin (SVP People). Disclosed capital raised totals approximately $5.85M across three rounds (2015, 2017, 2018).

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscription (Service Fee / SaaS Fee): Recurring subscription (referred to as 'SaaS Fee' or 'Service Fee') for use of the Trux Platform, Trux Materials, Trux Construction, Trux Ticketing, and Trux Drive. Fees are set per executed Order Form with the customer and may be tiered by Authorized Account Users, ticket volume (Trux Ticketing Threshold), or overage usage.
2. Marketplace Service Fee (Take Rate): For Shipment Assignments posted on the Trux Marketplace, Trux retains a Service Fee that is 'generally a percentage of the calculated billable amount' for each completed assignment, with the residual disbursed to the Operator. This is the transactional take-rate on marketplace activity.
3. Ticketing Threshold / Overage Fees: Trux Ticketing customers pay a base Trux Ticketing SaaS Fee and, when applicable, an overage fee (Trux Overage SaaS Fee) if tickets produced exceed the agreed Trux Ticketing Threshold during the review period. Unused ticket volume does not roll over.
4. Ticket Transcription Service Fees: Per-ticket fees for the Ticket Transcription Service that converts physical scale-ticket images into structured digital data on the Trux Platform, billed per an Order Form schedule.
5. Transition / Additional Professional Services: Optional 'Additional Services' (training, technical, administrative support) and 'Transition Services' at termination, contracted via separate Order Form, plus a $25 administrative fee for paper checks to operators and pass-through financial-institution charges to customers.
6. Cash Discount (Pricing Adjustment): Trux applies a discretionary 'cash discounted rate' for select customers in lieu of standard Service Fees, which it may discontinue at any time.
