What’s New at CloudTrucks: Smarter ETAs, Rate Predictions, and the Launch of CT Fuel

Table of Contents

The trucking industry is evolving, and staying ahead means having the right tools to make operations smoother and more profitable. At CloudTrucks, we're focused on helping drivers increase earnings while reducing hassle. Our latest updates improve automation, efficiency, and transparency in your workflow. Here’s how we're making trucking better.

More Accurate ETAs, Fewer Check-in Calls

Nobody likes getting check-in calls while they’re driving or dealing with brokers asking for constant updates. Our new PC*Miler Integration makes ETA tracking more accurate and reliable, factoring in Hours of Service (HOS) compliance so you get a realistic arrival time. This means:

  • Brokers get accurate updates without bothering you
  • Fewer delays and better route planning
  • More trust between drivers and shippers, leading to better loads

Plan Ahead with Better Rate Predictions Using CT Forecast

Rates change fast, and guessing what a load should pay isn’t a great strategy. That’s why we built CT Forecast, a behind-the-scenes tool that predicts lane rates using real booking data and market trends. With these insights, you’ll be able to:

  • See where rates are headed before accepting a load
  • Negotiate with confidence, knowing the real value of a lane
  • Plan ahead so you’re not caught off guard by price drops

CT Forecast is currently generating weekly predictions on key lanes as we continue testing and refining the model to ensure accuracy. Once it's ready for full integration with CT Estimate, it’ll provide drivers with more reliable pricing insights.

More Control Over Your Performance Scores

Your reputation affects the loads you can book, and unfair late marks shouldn’t hold you back. Now, you can dispute incorrect late performance marks directly in the CloudTrucks app. If a load was unfairly marked as late, submit a quick request with no phone calls or long wait times. Keeping your score accurate helps you stay in good standing and gives you stronger negotiating power when booking loads.

A Fairer Way to Track Safety Performance

Safety scores matter, so they should actually reflect how you drive. We’ve made updates to the CT Safety Score, including factoring in ELD disconnect mileage so drivers aren’t unfairly penalized. We’ve also adjusted the weight of different safety factors to make sure:

  • Your score is based on what actually matters
  • You can see where to improve without being punished unfairly
  • A strong safety score helps build trust with brokers and can be a valuable tool when negotiating for better-paying loads.

CT Fuel: A Fuel Card Built for CloudTrucks Drivers

The wait is over. CT Fuel is here, bringing drivers a powerful way to manage cash flow, cut fuel costs, and simplify payments. Whether you're fueling up, paying for tolls, or covering parking, CT Fuel puts more control in your hands and keeps your money working for you.

  • Interest-free credit for fuel, tolls, and parking
  • Exclusive discounts at Love’s, Roady’s, RaceTrac, and more
  • Easy tracking with automatic receipts and expense reports

Owner-operator Terrance Mayes of A. Mayes Transport LLC put it best: "Having a fuel card has made a big difference. I can now take on longer loads without the stress of requesting an advance for fuel, making my job much easier and more efficient."

CloudTrucks is Always Improving

We know trucking isn’t just a job, it’s your business. That’s why we’re committed to building tools that help you run it on your terms. These updates are just part of the work we’re doing to give drivers more control, more profit, and fewer headaches. Stay tuned for what’s next.
