Migrating from Trimble TruckMate to EXSPEEDITE TMS
TruckMate has powered freight operations for decades, but maintaining legacy client/server hardware, on-premise database servers, and separate mobile add-ons slows modern dispatchers down. Upgrade to EXSPEEDITE for high-velocity dispatch and touchless billing.

The 4-Step TruckMate Migration Roadmap
1. Database Schema & Historical Tariff Mapping
Our transportation software engineers run dedicated SQL extraction utilities against your TruckMate database. We extract customer profiles, lane matrices, equipment groups, driver settlement configurations, and fuel peg schedules, mapping them directly into EXSPEEDITE.
2. Telematics & Accounting API Validation
We configure your Samsara, Motive, or Geotab telematics feeds alongside your QuickBooks or Sage Intacct general ledger accounts. Real-time truck GPS coordinates and driver duty hours sync seamlessly into the dispatch board.
3. Parallel Dispatch Simulation & Staff Training
Founder Scott Elliott personally walks your dispatchers, billing specialists, and safety directors through realistic daily operational scenarios. Your staff masters Fast Dispatch, the Brokerage Hot Board, and 1-click driver settlements.
4. Seamless Cutover with Zero Operational Downtime
Cutover occurs over a planned weekend. Active loads, pending manifests, and driver equipment assignments transition smoothly into EXSPEEDITE, allowing Monday morning dispatch to launch with full operational velocity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we shut down our on-premise Sybase server after migrating?
Yes. Once EXSPEEDITE is live, all dispatching, rating, billing, settlements, and document imaging live securely in the cloud. You can decommission your legacy on-premise database server and eliminate ongoing IT hardware maintenance contracts.
How does EXSPEEDITE handle complex multi-company or multi-terminal operations?
EXSPEEDITE natively supports multi-company and multi-terminal operations. Run separate carrier entities or branch terminals under one master login with independent general ledger accounting sync.
