Truckside

You know your jobs. Do you know what they earn?

Can you say what your last job really paid you per hour? Drop in your jobs file, tap a few answers, and see which jobs make money and which ones leak.

Early access is by key while Truckside is in testing. Built for solo owners and small shops. Plumbing and carpet and upholstery cleaning first.

The numbers live in your head and your invoices

Nobody sits you down and asks. So the price of a job gets set by feel, and the leaks stay hidden.

The hour that never got counted

Drive time, setup and callbacks vanish between the invoice and the bank account.

Supplies that crept up

Your costs move all the time. Your prices usually don't move with them.

A price that was only a guess

A number that felt right last year can lose money once the real hours and supplies are counted.

How it works

Drop in one file, then tap a few answers. Very little typing.

Tell us about your shop

Your trade, whether it's you or a crew, and what an hour of your time should be worth.

Drop your jobs file

Drag in your Housecall Pro jobs file and the prices are read for you. Customer names and addresses are ignored the moment the file is opened.

Fill the gaps with a tap

For each job, tap the hours and the supplies. Each page shows what that job paid you per hour as you go.

See your headline, then unlock the report

A quick preview shows how many of your jobs paid you under your target. Unlock the full report to see which jobs leak, what to charge instead, and how many jobs a month cover your bills and your pay.

In testing now: the first four steps. The rest are being built.

Built to be accurate and useful

Numbers you can check, and a result you can act on.

Your numbers, not averages

Every figure comes from your own jobs, hours, supplies and bills.

No guessing on missing costs

A job with no supplies entered is left out of your totals and flagged, not guessed.

A price you can use

See what each job should have cost to cover supplies, your time and your share of the monthly bills.

What you get

A report built from your own jobs. The preview shows the headline. The unlocked report adds the details. These numbers are an illustration, not a result.

Questions

What do I have to do?

Drop in your jobs file, then tap a few answers about hours, supplies and bills. Most answers are a tap, so there is very little typing.

What does it cost?

The planned price is about $39, one time, to unlock your full report. Optional monthly check-ups may come later. Early-access shops help set the final price.

What if it isn't useful?

Early-access testers use it free. Once paid unlocks open, if your report doesn't show you something useful about your jobs, email truckside.help@gmail.com within 14 days for a full refund.

Who sees my customers' details?

When you drop a jobs file, it's read in your browser. Only job type, date and price are kept, and customer names and addresses are ignored. Nothing is uploaded. Reading invoice photos and PDFs is still being built and will mask names, phone numbers, emails and addresses first.

How long does it take?

We're timing it in testing, so we don't have a number to give yet.

Which businesses is it for?

Solo owners and small service shops. Plumbing and carpet and upholstery cleaning come first.

Is this accounting or tax advice?

No. It's a pricing aid built on your own numbers. Check the results against your books before you change prices.
