Each entry says who it fits, what it costs, what it does well and what to check before you sign. ### Hemut Command **Who it fits:** Asset-based trucking carriers. Hemut Command is a TMS built for asset-based trucking carriers; it is not built for pure freight brokerages. **Price:** $99 a month includes 3 trucks, then $29 per truck for trucks 4 to 15 and $24 per truck for trucks 16 to 30, so a 10-truck fleet pays $302 a month on Command. Fleets over 30 trucks get a quote. Every plan is on the [pricing page](/pricing#pricing). **Free trial:** 30 days with no load limit and no credit card to start. There is no free tier. **Good at:** Taking the retyping out of the office. Rate confirmations (PDFs) and EDI 204 load tenders are read into loads, and AI voice agents make routine check calls to drivers and record the answers on the load. Driver settlements and invoices are built from that same load record, invoices sync with QuickBooks, and IFTA reports come from imported EFS fuel card transactions and the fleet's own miles. Truck positions from Samsara, Motive, Geotab or Omnitracs show ETAs and arrival times on each load. Factoring paperwork and maintenance records, which many carriers buy separately, are covered too. **Watch for:** Hemut is newer than the legacy platforms, McLeod included, so it has fewer years of installs behind it. There is no free tier, and Hemut costs more than TruckingOffice at every fleet size TruckingOffice publishes a price for (see both on the [Hemut pricing page](/pricing#pricing) and the [TruckingOffice pricing page](https://www.truckingoffice.com/tms/transportation-management-system-pricing/)). Its EDI support reads 204 load tenders, so check any other EDI message your customers need before you switch. On list price, [Datatruck](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing) comes in lower at most sizes it prices: $0 against $99 up to 3 trucks, $99 against $186 at 6, and $299 against $543 at 19. Command costs less only at 7 to 9 trucks ($215 to $273), before any Datatruck add-on. ### Datatruck **Who it fits:** Carriers, brokers, hybrids, enterprise and private fleets, per its [home page](https://www.datatruck.io/). Its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing) says it is built for fleet owners with more than 10 trucks. **Price:** $0 Freemium (up to 3 trucks), $99 Basic (up to 6) and $299 Pro (up to 19) a month. Big Fleet (up to 30) and Enterprise (30+) show "Custom", per its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing). **Free trial:** 7 days of full access with no credit card, then the account moves to Freemium unless you upgrade, per its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing). **Good at:** A free plan and published prices through 19 trucks. Its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing) ticks TruckGPT auto-entry for loads and a driver mobile app on every plan, and its [home page](https://www.datatruck.io/) says TruckGPT extracts rate confirmations. Its [integrations page](https://www.datatruck.io/integrations) lists 150+ integrations. **Watch for:** Freemium stops at 3 active trucks, 30 factored invoices and 30 TruckGPT loads a month, and IFTA reports start at Basic. Check the add-ons on its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing): EDI is $499 and AI Updater, which it says removes check calls, is $99, each per "connection" with no billing interval stated. Its pricing page says 7 days and buttons on its [home page](https://www.datatruck.io/) say 14, so confirm the trial length. ## Who should pick which Most fleets will recognize themselves in the first card. The second is the narrower case. ### Hemut fits Asset carriers that want a rate they can read through 30 trucks, a 30 day trial and AI voice agents that make routine check calls, with EDI 204 tenders read into loads. ### Datatruck fits A very small fleet that wants a $0 plan, a fleet that fits the $99 or $299 plan and does not need paid add-ons, or a broker or hybrid operation, which Datatruck also serves and Hemut Command is not built for as a pure brokerage. ## What Datatruck does well Real strengths, so you can weigh them against what you need. ### A free plan and lower list prices Its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing) lists $0, $99 and $299 plans. Against Command's published rates that is lower at most sizes through 19 trucks, before add-ons. ### A long integration list Its [integrations page](https://www.datatruck.io/integrations) lists 150+ integrations across ELDs, fuel, factoring, tolls and load boards, and says pre-built ones come at no extra cost. ### A driver app on every plan Its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing) ticks a driver mobile app on all five plans, including Freemium. ### A stated migration timeline Its [data migration page](https://www.datatruck.io/data-migration) gives a 3 to 5 day average migration, quoted by application. That is its own figure, not ours. ## What you get on day one with Hemut Each point is something Command does today or a published term, not a roadmap. ### A price you can read first Every plan and per-truck rate is on the [pricing page](/pricing#pricing). A 10-truck fleet on Command is $302 a month, with the first 3 trucks included in the base. ### A card-free trial you start yourself 30 days with no load limit and no card to start, from the [signup page](https://command.hemut.com/signup). ### Rate cons become loads Hemut reads rate confirmation PDFs into loads, so dispatchers review instead of retyping. It reads EDI 204 load tenders into loads too. ### Routine check calls, handled AI voice agents make routine check calls to drivers and record the answers on the load. Voice agent use is $0.10 a minute of connected talk time. ### The back office is in the plans Invoices, driver settlements, QuickBooks sync and IFTA reports are part of Command. Factoring paperwork and maintenance records are covered too, and many carriers buy those separately. ### ETAs from the trucks you already run Hemut reads truck position from Samsara, Motive, Geotab and Omnitracs to show ETAs and arrival times on loads. ## What to weigh on the Hemut side Two things a careful buyer should know. - Hemut is a newer company than the legacy platforms so it has fewer years of installs behind it. - There is no free tier. There is a 30 day trial with no card, so you can test it on your own loads before paying. ## What Command covers One system for the office, from the first load to the invoice and the driver settlement. ![Diagram of Hemut Command's modules: Sales, Planning, Dispatch, Accounting and Brokerage, with the functions listed under each, such as live ETAs, load assignment, billing and invoicing, and payroll management.](/assets/command-desktop.svg) Command's modules as a diagram.

As of November 2026 Datatruck's [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing) lists plans at $0, $99 and $299 a month by fleet size, with custom pricing above 19 trucks and add-ons on top. Hemut charges per truck: Command is $99 a month with 3 trucks included and $302 for 10 trucks, and every rate through 30 trucks is on hemut.com/pricing. Does Datatruck have a free trial? Yes. Its [pricing page](https://www.datatruck.io/pricing) lists a 7-day trial with no credit card, then Freemium. Buttons on its [home page](https://www.datatruck.io/) say 14 days, so confirm the length when you sign up. Hemut gives 30 days with no load limit and no card, and has no free tier. How hard is it to switch from Datatruck to Hemut? A self-serve fleet signs up itself with no card, connects its ELD and QuickBooks, and runs real loads through the 30 day trial before deciding. Anything held only in Datatruck needs an export from Datatruck. For fleets of 31 trucks or more, pricing is scoped to the operation and includes data migration; there is no fixed published timeline. Is Hemut affiliated with Datatruck? No. Datatruck is a separate company with its own TMS. Hemut makes Command, and wrote this page from Datatruck's public pages. ## Start exploring Hemut on your own Thirty days, no card.
