How does Tread track time for construction hauling crews?
Tread tracks time for construction hauling crews: truck drivers and their trucks. Drivers log their shift in the Tread app, and each shift sits on the dispatched job next to the loads and scale tickets from that day. AI reads paper timesheets, foremen approve hours with cost codes, and approved hours flow into invoices and hauler pay.
The problem
Driver hours run on paper
Hours and tickets live apart
Someone matches each time card to the day’s tickets by hand before anyone gets paid or billed.
Breaks and net hours get added wrong
Handwritten start and end times leave room for math errors on every sheet.
Sign-off happens from memory
Foremen approve hours days after the work, on paper, with no loads in front of them.
Hours land on the wrong job
Without cost codes at approval, trucking time gets sorted out after the job closes.
No signal at the pit
Phones lose signal at the pit and on rural jobs, right where drivers log their time.
How Tread handles it
Every driver hour on the same record as the load
Drivers log the shift in the app
Drivers start, pause, and end their shift log in the Tread app on iOS or Android. With no signal, time and location keep recording, and everything syncs when the phone reconnects.
Hours sit on the job with the loads
Each shift belongs to the dispatched job. Geofences timestamp arrival and departure at the pit and the job, and the day’s scale and material tickets sit on the same job.
AI reads paper timesheets
When a driver turns in a paper timesheet, Tread’s AI reads the photo and captures start and end times, breaks, and net hours. It reads scale and material tickets the same way.
Foremen approve and code the hours
Foremen approve digital timesheets in the Tread app and add cost and phase codes, so trucking time lands on the right job while the work is still running.
Approved hours flow to billing and pay
Approved hours and tickets become customer invoices and driver and hauler settlements. Invoices and bills sync to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop.
Dispatch and drivers stay in touch
Dispatchers and drivers message each other inside Tread. Drivers without the app can accept a job by text message.

Built for hauling
Hauling crews, not every crew on the job
Tread is software for construction-materials hauling: dispatch, tickets, hours, billing, and hauler settlements. It tracks time for truck drivers and their trucks. If you need time cards for laborers or equipment, see how Tread compares with BusyBusy.
Read how the driver app works, how foremen use AI approvals and cost coding, and how approved work becomes invoices and hauler settlements. For the full contractor picture, see Tread for contractors.

Construction time tracking questions
Can drivers log time without cell signal?
Yes. Drivers can start, pause, and end their shift log with no signal. Time and location keep recording, and everything syncs when the phone reconnects. New dispatches still need a connection.
Does Tread read paper timesheets?
Yes. Tread’s AI reads paper timesheets from a photo and captures start and end times, breaks, and net hours. Your team reviews and approves them.
Can foremen approve hours and add cost codes?
Yes. Foremen approve digital timesheets in the Tread app and add cost and phase codes to the hours.
Does Tread track laborer or equipment hours?
No. Tread tracks hours for truck drivers and their trucks on hauling jobs. It is not a time clock for laborers and does not track equipment like dozers or loaders.
How fast can we start?
Tread can be live in as little as a day, and self-onboarding is available. You can start with a free pilot on your live jobs. Our team can load your trucks, customers, and rates for you.
