Yes. Tread syncs with QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. It pulls in your customers, vendors, items, accounts, payment terms, and tax rates, and exports approved settlements as QuickBooks invoices and bills. Setup is per company, so ask your rep.

## Who is it for?

| Best for | Not ideal for |
| --- | --- |

| Producers and contractors billing by the load, ton, or hour | Long-haul freight. Tread does not do LTL or multi-stop freight. |
| Back offices that retype tickets into QuickBooks today | Companies that want to sign up online without a demo |

## What syncs between Tread and QuickBooks?

| Direction | What moves |
| --- | --- |
| From QuickBooks into Tread | Customers, vendors, items, accounts, payment terms, and tax rates |
| From Tread into QuickBooks | Approved settlements, as QuickBooks invoices and bills |
| Not synced | Payments. Record payments in QuickBooks. They are not synced back to Tread. |

Only approved settlements export. Your team approves the tickets and hours first.

You pay your haulers directly. Tread builds the settlement.

## How do hauler bills and driver pay work?

Approved tickets and hours become driver and vendor settlements, with overtime and prevailing-wage rules applied, and a settlement PDF you can email.

Tread exports approved settlements as QuickBooks invoices and bills, so a hauler’s bill comes from the same tickets as the customer’s invoice.

You pay your haulers directly. Sub-haulers you work with join Tread for free.

## Why connect trucking software to QuickBooks?

QuickBooks keeps the books well. It does not know which truck hauled which load, or which ticket proves it.

Tread fills that gap before anything reaches QuickBooks.

- Rate cards, fuel surcharge schedules, and add-ons set pricing for each project.
- AI reads printed and handwritten scale and material tickets from a photo and returns the ticket number, date, quantity, unit, material, and truck.
- AI checks each ticket’s quantity, date, and ticket number against the job, and flags the ones that need a look.
- Approved tickets and hours become driver and vendor settlements, with overtime and prevailing-wage rules applied, and a settlement PDF you can email.

QuickBooks then gets finished invoices and bills. Nobody types tickets into it.
