Still Guessing at Margins? Here’s Why Your TMS Is Costing You More Than You Think

When your trucks are moving but your margins aren’t, it’s time to stop blaming the market and start scrutinizing your tools. 

Most TMS platforms weren’t built for today’s operational demands. They’re either bloated legacy systems drowning you in complexity—or lightweight dashboards that look slick but leave you stranded when it comes to the financial data that actually drives your business. 

Here’s the truth: If you’re running a fleet with 25+ trucks and can’t tell your profitability by load, lane, driver, or customer at a glance, your TMS isn’t helping you—it’s holding you back. 

The Profitability Blind Spot 

Too many growing fleets operate without a clear view of what’s making money and what’s bleeding them dry. Why? Because their tech stack doesn’t connect the dots across dispatch, fleet, and accounting. That means: 

  • No real-time margin visibility. 
  • No easy way to track P&L by load or truck. 
  • No way to identify your most profitable customers—or your costliest. 

Sound familiar? That’s not just frustrating—it’s expensive.

RDX LLC Did It. So Can You. 

RDX LLC cut 8–12 days off their billing cycle and maximized driver earnings—all by switching from spreadsheets and piecemeal systems to PCS. “Without this software we would never be where we are today,” said co-founder Dee Tchoparov. 

If they can do it with 100+ trucks, you can start with 25. 

It’s Time to Stop Settling 

Let’s face it: If your current TMS can’t tell you what’s profitable, it’s not worth what you’re paying. 

PCS was built for real fleets—fleets that hustle, scale, and demand results. We don’t do generic. We don’t do fluff. We deliver the visibility, control, and speed you need to grow your bottom line. 

You’re not just losing efficiency. You’re losing money. Let’s fix that.
