TMS for Small Fleets

The Best TMS for Small to Mid-Sized Growing Fleets

A growing fleet outgrows spreadsheets fast, but the correct comparison is the complete price at the feature and licence levels you need. TruckerPro keeps these workflows on one platform across a plan ladder, with unlimited staff seats and separately licensed driver mobile access.

Plan-based pricing from $179.40 CAD/month when billed annually, with unlimited staff seats; features and separately licensed services vary by tier.

Live dispatch board — loads, drivers, trucks, and trailers in one view, with status available from licensed driver mobile access and supported ELD connections.

Driver qualification files from Elite — organize licences, medicals, abstracts, and policy records with expiry workflows.

Settlements start in Dispatch; full payroll and year-end tax workflows start in Elite.

Compliance and safety tracking — audit-friendly records for DOT/FMCSA and Canadian NSC as your fleet crosses provincial and federal thresholds.

Cross-border workflows are available on qualifying plans — eManifest, PAPS/PARS, and CTPAT support can stay connected to dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best TMS for a small fleet?

The best TMS fits the fleet’s dispatch, compliance, settlement, integration, and cross-border requirements at the complete 12-month cost. TruckerPro starts at $179.40 CAD/month billed annually, with IFTA from Operate, driver access from Mobile plus a separate licence, and driver files, payroll, maintenance, and eManifest from Elite.

How should I compare seat and driver pricing?

Per-seat and per-driver pricing can change quickly as a fleet grows. Compare every vendor at today’s headcount and your expected size in 12 months. TruckerPro plans include unlimited staff users and start at $179.40 CAD/month when billed annually ($239.20 month-to-month); features and driver mobile licences vary.

Can one TMS handle both company drivers and owner-operators?

Yes. TruckerPro runs dispatch, settlements, and payroll for company drivers and owner-operators in the same system, with the right pay model applied to each — so a mixed fleet does not need separate tools for each driver type.

Will a small-fleet TMS keep us audit-ready?

Software can organize records and surface missing or expiring items, but it cannot guarantee compliance. TruckerPro driver and equipment files are available from Elite; test the required US DOT/FMCSA and Canadian NSC workflows and have a qualified reviewer validate the resulting records.

Does TruckerPro scale as we add trucks?

The same platform is designed for a five-truck or fifty-truck operation. Carrier plans range from $179.40 to $899 CAD/month when billed annually, and every tier includes unlimited staff users; compare the feature matrix and driver-licence tier as your workflow and roster grow.

Does it support cross-border growth?

Yes. eManifest, PAPS/PARS, and CTPAT workflows are available on qualifying plans, so a fleet expanding into Canada-US lanes can connect border paperwork with dispatch and compliance.
