For many owner-operators, driving the truck is only part of the job. You’re also managing drivers, tracking equipment, organizing paperwork, keeping documents up to date, and making sure the business side of your operation doesn’t fall behind while you’re on the road.
At the same time, the industry is changing. As brokers face increasing liability exposure, they’re being asked to look more closely at the carriers they work with. It’s no longer enough to simply prove you’re legally authorized to haul freight. Increasingly, brokers want a better understanding of how fleets operate and the steps they’re taking to prioritize safety and compliance.
For small fleets, that creates both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is that the information brokers want often isn’t easy to organize, track, or share. The opportunity is that fleets that can demonstrate strong hiring, training, safety, and compliance practices have a chance to stand out.
That’s exactly why we built Pulse Fleets. Integrated directly into Driver Pulse, Pulse Fleets gives owner-operators and small fleets a simple way to organize their operations while making it easier to showcase the work they’re already doing to run safe, compliant businesses.
Move Beyond “Guilty Until Proven Innocent”
Too often, small carriers are evaluated using limited information, as there hasn’t been an easy way for small fleets to share the full picture of how they operate.
Many data sources focus on negative events or public records, creating an environment where carriers often feel they’re being evaluated with incomplete information.
By allowing carriers to voluntarily share aggregated insights into areas like hiring, training, compliance, and safety, Pulse Fleets gives brokers a more complete view of a fleet’s operations.
Instead of being defined by a limited set of data points, owner-operators can highlight the processes and practices they’ve put in place to keep their businesses running safely and responsibly.
That additional transparency creates an opportunity for small fleets to differentiate themselves, build trust, and strengthen relationships with brokers in an increasingly competitive market.
Getting Started is Simple
Whether you’re an owner-operator managing your own truck or overseeing a small team of drivers, Pulse Fleets was designed with your operation in mind.
We know time is limited, so Pulse Fleets is made with ease in mind. Simply create your fleet profile, invite your drivers to join, and you’re ready to keep driver files organized alongside important documents and equipment information.
Instead of keeping information scattered across spreadsheets, emails, and paper files, you can organize everything in one centralized location that’s easy to maintain and easy to access.
When you’re ready, you can share that information with brokers and other industry partners.
Data You and Your Partners Can Trust
Because Pulse Fleets is powered by Tenstreet, both carriers and brokers can have confidence in the information being shared.
The goal isn’t to create another carrier score or another data source that reduces a fleet to a single metric. It’s to provide a clearer, fairer picture of the work small fleets put into operating safely and responsibly every day.
More Than Carrier Validation
While transparency and carrier validation are powerful features, Pulse Fleets also includes tools that help simplify the daily responsibilities of running a fleet.
Administrative work doesn’t stop once drivers are hired. Renewing documents, updating records, and keeping track of day-to-day responsibilities can quickly become overwhelming for owner-operators who are balancing driving responsibilities with managing a small team.
The Pulse Fleet platform brings driver management, document storage, equipment tracking, and task management together in one convenient location inside Driver Pulse.
In other words, it helps owner-operators spend less time managing paperwork and more time focusing on the road ahead by surfacing important tasks and reminders so you always know what needs attention next, making it easier to stay organized without the complexity of enterprise fleet software.
Why Is Pulse Fleets Free?
It’s simple. We believe the large fleets of tomorrow are the small fleets of today.
By giving owner-operators access to tools that help them operate more efficiently and better showcase their businesses, we’re investing in the future of the industry.
And as your fleet grows, we’ll be ready to grow with you.
