AlignOps’ FleetWatcher fleet and materials management system uses Virtual Truck Tickets to automatically generate digital work records from dispatch, GPS, and shift data. The system is designed to replace traditional paper tickets, mitigating operational errors caused by lost, illegible, or incomplete documentation.
By capturing critical haul data digitally, the platform helps fleet operators avoid overpayments and unnecessary hauling costs stemming from inaccurate time rounding, the company reports.
Truck-centric tracking for complex hauls
Unlike standard payroll systems tied strictly to employee hours, Virtual Truck Tickets follow the vehicle’s activity throughout the day, maintaining a complete operational record even across multiple distinct jobs. This truck-centric approach provides continuous visibility to verify haul cycles, jobsite events, and overall truck activity.
The software utilizes geozones and customizable business rules to generate these records. Key features supporting daily operations include:
- Customizable pay rates tailored to specific equipment classes, unique jobs, or activity-specific haul types.
- Editable line items that allow personnel to seamlessly adjust hours or modify row entries.
- The ability to easily apply supplemental fees, such as fuel surcharges, directly to the ticket.
Streamlined back-office operations
The automated process requires no initial administrative support to generate the tickets, AlignOps maintained. When a driver ends their shift in the FleetWatcher mobile app, the Virtual Truck Ticket is automatically created and routed to a web-based dashboard for review and approval.
Once approved through the integrated workflow, the system can export custom CSV files directly into existing payroll software or send automated payment summaries to brokers. Built specifically as a fleet and materials management solution for heavy civil and asphalt operations, the platform integrates telematics, load-cycle tracking, and e-ticketing to provide operators with real-time visibility into trucking performance and material movement.
