Dump truck load tracking app for excavation crews
SpoilStack gives foremen a simple haul counter with timestamped load in and load out records, tied to the job where the hauling happened.
Use it when load counts need proof
- The trucker says one count and the foreman says another.
- The office needs to know when loads happened, not just the total.
- A closeout package needs haul summaries beside photos and daily logs.
- Paper tallies keep getting lost, wet, or rewritten after the fact.
- The crew wants to stop carrying carbon-copy ticket books.
- You looked at dump truck software and it was all GPS and dispatch you do not need.
Every tap leaves a record
Load counts are timestamped and attributed to the user who logged them. That gives the owner a clearer record than a mark on a paper pad.
The count stays tied to the job
Haul records sit with the job address, photos, daily logs, documents, and machine history. When there is a dispute, the backup is not scattered across tools.
Use paper when you need it
SpoilStack also publishes a free dump truck load ticket generator for crews that still need printable tickets for a driver or site signature.
Paperless ticketing that holds up
A tap on the haul counter is a paperless dump truck ticket: timestamped, attributed, and tied to the job. No carbon copies to reorder, no handwriting to argue over. When a hauling count is disputed, the digital record is the backup, and it keeps working when the site has no signal.
Simpler than fleet tracking software
Most dump truck software is built for dispatch, GPS, and DOT compliance. Dirt crews rarely need any of that. SpoilStack tracks the one thing that causes arguments, the load count, and leaves the fleet management to the trucking companies.
How crews count loads today, and where it breaks
Most crews count loads with a paper tally on a clipboard, tick marks in a notebook, or a running text thread. It works until it matters: the pad gets wet, the foreman goes home with the count in his pocket, or the trucker produces his own tally that says two loads more. With no timestamps and no record of who counted, the invoice argument comes down to whose handwriting the GC believes.
From carbon-copy ticket books to a load tracking app
A ticket book gives the driver a signature slip, but the contractor is left transcribing carbon copies into a spreadsheet at night. In SpoilStack the foreman taps once per load and the record is already digital: counted, timestamped, attributed, and attached to the right job. Keep printing paper tickets for drivers who need them; stop rebuilding the count by hand.

Frequently asked questions
Can SpoilStack track load in and load out counts?
Yes. The haul counter supports timestamped load in and load out records for each job.
Does SpoilStack track truck GPS location?
No. SpoilStack tracks the job record and haul counts. It is not GPS fleet tracking or ELD software.
Can the haul summary be exported?
Yes. Haul count summaries can be included in a job closeout package with daily logs, photos, documents, T&M tags, plan markups, and equipment history.
Is SpoilStack dump truck tracking software?
It tracks load counts, not truck locations. SpoilStack is dump truck load tracking software: it records how many loads moved, when, and on which job. It is not GPS tracking, ELD, or dispatch software, so there is far less to set up.
Is there a dump truck loads app for the phone?
Yes. The haul counter runs in the SpoilStack mobile app, so the foreman taps each load on the phone in the field. It works offline and syncs when signal returns. Sign up is on the website; the crew logs in on iPhone or Android.
Does it replace paper dump truck tickets?
For counting loads, yes. The digital count replaces the running paper tally. For loads that still need a driver or site signature on paper, use the free dump truck load ticket generator and keep the running count digital.
How much does a dump truck load tracking app cost?
SpoilStack is $99 per month flat for the whole company, unlimited users, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card to start. There are no per-seat fees, so every foreman and operator who counts loads can be on it.
Can I track loads across multiple trucks and jobs?
Yes. Each job keeps its own haul count, and counts are logged per load with a timestamp and the user who recorded it. Run several jobs in the same day and each site keeps its own record; the office sees them all.
