Plans start at $99 CAD/month for up to 5 trucks ($74.25/month billed yearly), with unlimited staff users and no per-load or per-driver charge; features vary by plan.
Owner-operators do not need five subscriptions and a spreadsheet. TruckerPro connects dispatch, invoicing, IFTA, expenses, and compliance across a plan ladder. Compare the qualifying plan rather than assuming the entry price includes every workflow.
Plans start at $99 CAD/month for up to 5 trucks ($74.25/month billed yearly), with unlimited staff users and no per-load or per-driver charge; features vary by plan.
Dispatch, invoicing, and settlements in one flow — turn a delivered load into a sent invoice in minutes, not a night of paperwork.
IFTA from Operate — mileage and fuel records can be organized by jurisdiction for quarterly review.
Driver and truck files from Elite — licenses, medicals, insurance, FAST/NEXUS, and registrations with expiry workflows.
Cross-border workflows from Elite — ACE/ACI eManifest and PAPS/PARS records for Canada-US operations.
Driver app on Mobile, Elite and VIP — update trips, upload BOLs and receipts, and check pay from the cab, with no per-driver charge.
A TMS for owner operators is not a watered-down fleet product. You are the dispatcher, biller, compliance officer, and driver. Test the jobs you would otherwise do after driving: load entry, delivery-to-invoice handoff, IFTA mileage by jurisdiction, and document-expiry reminders. Then price the plan that contains those jobs.
Per-load TMS pricing looks cheap on a slow week and expensive the month you actually work. The right owner-operator TMS is a flat monthly number that does not care how many loads you hauled.
An ELD tells you where the truck was. It does not send the invoice. A spreadsheet can track loads until the first IFTA quarter, when you reconstruct mileage from memory and fuel receipts. A TMS for owner operators keeps the load, the invoice, the miles, and the documents on one record so quarter-end is a report, not a weekend.

View plansThe best fit covers your actual dispatch, invoicing, tax, document, and mobile workflows at a sustainable total price. TruckerPro starts at $99 CAD/month for up to 5 trucks, but IFTA starts at Operate, the driver app starts at Mobile (no per-driver charge), and driver files or eManifest start at Elite.
Look for no per-load fees, invoicing the day you deliver, IFTA mileage by jurisdiction, document expiry alerts, and mobile access so office work does not wait until you get home. Confirm which tier includes each workflow and test it on your own loads during a demo.
Prices and packaging vary, so compare the full annual cost for dispatch, invoicing, IFTA, compliance, support, and mobile access—not only a vendor’s entry price. TruckerPro Dispatch starts at $99 CAD/month for up to 5 trucks, or $74.25/month billed yearly ($891/year), while IFTA, the driver app, files, and eManifest require higher tiers.
It is worth evaluating when the time saved on invoicing, recordkeeping, and deadline tracking exceeds the complete subscription cost. Test the workflow with your own loads and documents rather than assuming a universal payback.
Yes, from the Operate tier. TruckerPro can organize mileage by jurisdiction from trip records and available connected ELD data and generate quarterly IFTA reporting for review. Provider data depth varies, and the carrier remains responsible for the filed return.
The dashboard works in a browser, and TruckerPro offers an iOS driver app for trip status, BOL and receipt upload, and pay visibility. The driver app is included on Mobile, Elite and VIP, with no per-driver charge.
Yes. eManifest and PAPS/PARS workflows are available from Elite for Canada-US runs. Confirm the filing scope and any external charges during the demo.
