TruckBook Reviews & Ratings

4.5/5

“Free Load-Board & Nav That Actually Works”

As an owner-operator, I used to juggle multiple load boards, GPS apps and trucking forums. With TruckBook I got them in one place: GPS route, job posting, load board. It reduced app-switching on the road.

Pros : I found TruckBook’s built-in load board (2 M+ loads updated daily) and truck-specific GPS features really helpful—as a driver I could pick loads and get truck-friendly routing easily.

Cons : Sometimes the map/navigation experiences bugs—one user noted the app freezes or fails to load.

Switched from : Scoutbee

Reason to switch : I switched because my earlier stack was clunky: one app for loads, another for routing, and still no real integration for truck-specific features. TruckBook bundled them, making life simpler.

4.5/5

“Value for Money, especially for Small Fleets, Yet Some Features Feel Light”

For our 10-truck operation, TruckBook gave excellent value: tracking, load board, routing—all in one package. If we scale to 100+ trucks, I might evaluate added features.

Pros : TruckBook claims “cost-effective for fleets of all sizes” and offers free app usage plus affordable tiers for fleet management.

Cons : For larger fleets with complex needs (global routes, multi-state compliance), some features may lack depth compared to enterprise platforms.

Switched from : Roadcast

Reason to switch : I switched from a higher-cost enterprise platform that had many unused modules; TruckBook gave the core features we needed without the excess cost.

4.5/5

“Good for Drivers and Owners, But Corporate Fleets Might Hit Limits”

I wear both hats—owner-operator and dispatch. TruckBook bridges both roles: I drive sometimes, and manage loads other times. It works well for my model. For large corporate fleets though I’d check if it covers all enterprise requirements.

Pros : The app supports both drivers (job finding, navigation) and fleet owners (tracking, load-assignment) which makes it versatile.

Cons : Some larger corporate fleets might need deeper integrations (ELD hardware, full TMS links) which are still evolving in TruckBook.

Switched from : Unleashed

Reason to switch : I switched from separate driver apps + fleet tool because having separate systems created friction; TruckBook unified those roles for us.

4.5/5

“Fleet Manager’s Dashboard Helped My Dispatch Workflow”

I manage a small fleet of 20 trucks. Before TruckBook I used spreadsheets and a basic tracking tool. With TruckBook I got a unified platform: GPS, load assignment, driver info, billing tools. It cut down administrative hours.

Pros : The fleet-owner features—real-time GPS tracking, driver onboarding, document upload—are strong and streamline many tasks.

Cons : Some features, like deeper analytics or bespoke report building, still need refinement for larger fleets.

Switched from : Unleashed

Reason to switch : I switched because our old system was too fragmented and manual. TruckBook offered more integration and a mobile-friendly approach that suited our drivers better.

4.5/5

“Solid Choice for Trucking Workflow, But Verify Broker & Payment Terms”

I am cautious but impressed. TruckBook has helped me find better loads and streamline operations. I still verify broker payment terms and load details because as with any platform, the job quality can vary.

Pros : Many users praise the platform’s job/ load board and payment mechanics.

Cons : However, some user pinch-points: in the reviews there are complaints about payment delays or job management issues.

Switched from : iM3 SCM Suite

Reason to switch : I switched because I felt stuck in old broker networks with high fees and slow payouts. TruckBook’s instantaneous payment promise motivated me to move—but I maintain due diligence.

4.3/5

“Fleet Owner Back-Office Features Improved Our Tracking, though Setup Was Heavy”

We adopted TruckBook to gain smarter matching of loads and better visibility into our fleet’s miles, costs, and performance. It’s performing well now, but the ramp-up was more work than I expected.

Pros : For fleet owners, TruckBook promises AI-powered dispatch and load matching, truck-maps, load board integration.

Cons : The initial onboarding, setup of driver profiles, load preferences and route logic requires time and internal coordination.

Switched from : SiftedAI

Reason to switch : I switched because our manual dispatch process was inefficient and we lacked structured load analysis; TruckBook offered the promise of smarter operations.

4.3/5

“Instant Payment & Backhaul Routing Works Great for My Truck”

I run a single truck. With TruckBook I could pick loads, follow optimized routes, submit proof-of-delivery, and see payment quicker. That improved cash-flow and reduced empty miles.

Pros : Features like optimized routing to minimize deadhead miles, instant payment after load delivery, and focus on owner-operators are good.

Cons : Some users say the payment terms or dispatch policies may vary; you still need to check fine-print.

Switched from : Freightview

Reason to switch : I switched because the broker-based system I used previously left me with long waiting times for payment and lots of empty return trips; TruckBook’s model improved those for me.

4.3/5

“Reliable Truck-Specific Navigation, But Occasional App Glitches”

I appreciated the truck-specific GPS features—knowing truck stops, parking, service shops all in one. But there were times the app wouldn’t load or route properly, which forced me to use a backup GPS.

Pros : TruckBook’s navigation includes truck-friendly features (weigh stations, stops, truck-parking) which are tailored for drivers.

Cons : Some reviews report bugs: e.g., map search not working after an update, app freezing.

Switched from : Coolgix

Reason to switch : I switched because generic GPS lacked truck-specific data and separate devices were expensive; TruckBook promised a better all-in-one mobile experience.

4.3/5

“Driver Community & Marketplace is a Bonus, But Some Noise”

On long hauls, the community feed kept me connected with other drivers, discovered new truck stops, and found used equipment. That network effect made TruckBook more than just an app.

Pros : The marketplace and community features (buy/sell trucks, truck stops, peer posts) add value beyond just navigation.

Cons : Some reviews mention non-trucking content or posts that feel off-topic in the community feed.

Switched from : Newton SCM

Reason to switch : I switched because I felt isolated using my prior navigation tool; TruckBook adds driver community and marketplace features which bring extra value.

4.2/5

“Real-Time Load & Job Alerts Are Useful, But Community Moderation Needs Improvement”

I rely on the real-time notifications when on the road—helped me avoid full parking lots, find quick repair options. But occasionally the community layout feels messy and distracts from the core features.

Pros : The app’s alerts on jobs, driver stops, weigh stations and realtime updates help drivers stay ahead.

Cons : The community feed sometimes includes unrelated posts or spam; users note the moderation could improve.

Switched from : Unleashed

Reason to switch : I switched because I wanted a unified app that gives both job alerts and route insights; TruckBook checked both boxes, albeit with a slightly noisy community section.
