How a Texas Hauler Cut Days-to-Pay in Half by Fixing the Job Site Data Problem
Texas hauler Dirt Rocks partnered with TruckIT for E-ticketing, resulting in accelerated invoicing and a reduction in days-to-pay from 60-plus days to a 30-day average.

On a peak day at one of Dirt Rocks’ LNG job sites, as many as 400 trucks move material across hundreds of acres. Every load matters. Every ticket matters even more.
For Dirt Rocks, a leading aggregate logistics provider operating across Texas and Louisiana, the difference between a smooth operation and a cash flow headache often came down to one thing: how fast accurate ticket data made it from the field to the contractor.
“For companies operating at our scale, cash flow lives or dies by ticket accuracy and speed,” said Jeremy Bell, president of Dirt Rocks. “If data doesn’t move cleanly from the job site to the office, everything slows down, billing, payment, and decision-making.”
Dirt Rocks specializes in complex logistics for LNG facilities and major infrastructure projects. These are environments where traditional paper tickets and legacy systems quickly break down. Independent haulers, uneven technology adoption, and manual reconciliation processes made real-time visibility nearly impossible on many jobs.
“We had technology before TruckIT,” Bell explained. “But it was clunky, adoption in the field wasn’t there, and without adoption, you get data gaps. We also saw most tools favor either the contractor or the hauler, not both.”
Those gaps had real consequences. Ticket reconciliation dragged on, work verification slowed, and days-to-pay stretched beyond 60 days. For a company coordinating hundreds of trucks daily, that lag put unnecessary strain on working capital.
AI-Powered E-Ticketing
That changed when Dirt Rocks rolled out TruckIT’s transportation and material management platform with AI-powered E-Ticketing. The impact was almost immediate. Within 10 days, Dirt Rocks brought 17 projects live on the platform. Independent haulers quickly adopted the technology, largely because it required little training and fit naturally into daily workflows.
“We asked for a 45-day pilot,” Bell said. “We were off the pilot in about 16 days. That’s how fast it clicked.”
TruckIT digitizes tickets at the source, eliminating lost or inaccurate paper records and delivering contractor-ready data in real time. The result was a cleaner, more reliable flow of information across job sites and a noticeable improvement in how fast money moved.
Turning Visibility into Cash Flow
With real-time ticket data available to all parties, Dirt Rocks saw measurable gains across operations:
Lost and inaccurate tickets were eliminated
Productivity improved through better asset utilization
Invoicing accelerated
Days-to-pay dropped from 60-plus days to a 30-day average
“The immediate value is giving contractors the data they need to manage daily production and pay faster,” Bell said. “When everyone is working from the same clean data set, cash moves faster.”
Beyond payments, TruckIT gave Dirt Rocks and its customers a new level of operational visibility. Advanced geofencing and sub-geofencing allow teams to track truck and material movement across massive job sites, down to specific delivery zones and stockpiles.
“For a superintendent, knowing a truck has breached the gate and is a few hundred yards away changes everything,” Bell explained. “You can relieve congestion, coordinate crews, and be prepared instead of reacting.”
That same visibility feeds into TruckIT’s analytics, which Dirt Rocks uses to optimize loader utilization, balance pits, and plan rail operations.
“We use live data to run our rail plans,” Bell said. “We know how long trucks sit, when they’ll be back, and how long equipment needs to run. That level of insight directly impacts cost and cash.”
TruckIT: Founded Out of Industry Experience
Part of what resonated with Dirt Rocks was TruckIT’s industry-first design. Before co-founding the company, CEO Andrew Lindsay led major infrastructure projects through his construction firm, Astra Group. That experience shows up in the product.
“I’ll suggest features all the time, and most of the time they’ve already built them,” Bell said. “That tells you the platform was designed by people who understand how job sites actually operate.”
Today, TruckIT is less a tool and more an operational partner for Dirt Rocks — one that supports faster decisions, better collaboration, and healthier cash flow.
“When ticket data is accurate and instantly accessible,” Bell said, “everyone works better, and everyone gets paid faster.”
