AI for Sand Hauling | TMI Technology
Sand Hauling

More loads per truck per day. That's the whole game.

Sand hauling is pure throughput. The operators who win run more loads per truck, spend less time at pit queues, and bill accurately on the same day the work happens. TMI builds the dispatch, ticketing, and billing systems that close the gap between the loads you haul and the revenue you collect.

The Problem

Where sand hauling operations bleed throughput and margin

Sand hauling looks straightforward - load, haul, dump, repeat. The losses happen in the gaps: trucks queued at the pit, loads that never get ticketed right, dispatch that sends the wrong truck to the wrong location. These aren't big problems individually. Multiplied across a fleet, they're the difference between profit and break-even.

01

Pit Queue and Wait Time

Trucks stacked four deep waiting to load. The driver gets paid by the load. You get billed by the hour for the equipment on the receiving end waiting for sand. Uncoordinated pit access turns your throughput advantage into a waiting game that benefits no one but your competitors.

02

Paper Ticket Reconciliation

Drivers turn in paper tickets at the end of the day. Some are illegible. Some show different load counts than the customer's records. Reconciliation takes two administrative days per billing cycle. Disputes come in three weeks after the work was done and the only defense is a crumpled paper ticket.

03

Dispatch Without Live Visibility

You have 12 trucks moving between three pit locations and four job sites. Dispatch coordinates by radio. A truck finishes a load and needs the next assignment. The dispatcher asks around, makes a call, and sends the truck. Five minutes of delay per load, 8 loads per day, 12 trucks. That's 480 minutes of lost throughput per day.

What TMI Builds

Six systems. One operating layer.

Built for sand hauling operations where throughput is the metric that matters - digital ticketing, optimized dispatch, pit coordination, and same-day billing all running from one connected system.

01

Digital Load Ticketing

Loads ticketed on a mobile app at pickup and delivery. Load weight, timestamp, pit location, and delivery site captured automatically. No paper. No reconciliation delays. Billing runs same day from actual delivery data.

02

Real-Time Dispatch Board

All trucks on a live map with current load status. When a truck dumps and goes available, the next assignment is pushed automatically based on proximity and current demand. Response time goes from 5 minutes to seconds.

03

Pit Access Coordination

Trucks pre-assigned to pit loading windows so they arrive when capacity is available. Queue times drop because trucks are sequenced rather than stacked. More loads per hour from the same pit without adding equipment.

04

Customer Volume Tracking

Total tons delivered per customer per day tracked automatically from digital tickets. Customers get real-time delivery confirmations. Volume commitments tracked against actuals. Over-delivery and under-delivery both visible before end of day.

05

Driver Performance Metrics

Loads per shift, idle time, and turnaround time per driver tracked and reported daily. You see exactly which drivers are running efficiently and which aren't. Performance conversations backed by data instead of impressions.

06

Fleet Maintenance Scheduling

Truck maintenance tracked against mileage and load counts. Scheduled maintenance flagged before trucks go down unexpectedly. Fleet availability planned around maintenance windows instead of disrupted by surprise breakdowns.
