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 level and fleet size you need. TruckerPro keeps these workflows on one platform across a plan ladder, with unlimited staff seats and no per-driver charge.

Plans from $99 CAD/month for up to 5 trucks, priced by plan and fleet size, with unlimited staff seats and no per-driver charge; features vary by tier.

Live dispatch board — loads, drivers, trucks, and trailers in one view, with status from the driver app 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 $99 CAD/month for up to 5 trucks, with IFTA from Operate, the driver app from Mobile (no per-driver charge), 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, have no per-driver charge, and start at $99 CAD/month for up to 5 trucks ($74.25/month billed yearly); features vary by plan.

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 run from $99 CAD/month (Dispatch, up to 5 trucks) to $999.20 CAD/month (VIP, up to 100 trucks) on monthly billing, yearly billing saves 25%, and every plan includes unlimited staff users with no per-driver charge; the price changes only when you move to a higher plan or a larger fleet size.

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.
