When Luke Carpenter started LNC Transport in the UK, he didn’t own a single truck. Today, he runs a growing operation powered entirely by trusted subcontractors. He has full control and visibility, thanks to MyTrucking. Luke shares advice for UK hauliers looking for a Transport Management System (TMS) that also works seamlessly with subcontractors.
Moving more with less admin
Since June 2024, Luke has simplified planning, invoicing, and driver communication without adding admin.
Bringing in a Transport Management System (TMS) has changed how their operation runs.
With everything in one place, LNC Transport now has full visibility over jobs, drivers, and documentation, even when working with a network of subcontractors.
“Absolutely five-star service, and a fantastic logistics program,” Luke shares.
“The program minimises the time taken to raise invoices and is perfectly compatible with Xero Accounting.”
Faster invoicing = better cash flow
One of the biggest differences Luke noticed is the time saved on paperwork.
Raising invoices now takes minutes instead of hours. This has freed him up to focus on growing the business.
The benefits of faster invoicing with MyTrucking:
- Enter jobs once, no double handling
- Real-time updates keep everything in sync
- Push jobs straight into invoicing
LNC Transport uses MyTrucking’s integration with Xero to automatically attach images, dockets, and signatures directly onto Xero invoices, keeping all relevant documentation in one place.
Support when needed
Since joining MyTrucking, Luke has seen continuous product improvements and standout customer support. People are at the heart of everything MyTrucking does.
“Since turning to MyTrucking 18 months ago they have developed several updates all of which have improved the system drastically, and the team there are always willing to listen to any needs or requirements that you have,” he says.
Any drawbacks?
“I can honestly say that there is not anything I dislike about MyTrucking. It has enabled my business to grow since using it and freed up many hours in my week.”
Keep subcontractor jobs secure and under your control
LNC Transport is built on a subcontractor model, so protecting job information and building trust is critical. MyTrucking gives Luke full control. Keeping customers, rates, and job details private, while ensuring subcontractors only see what they need for their assigned work.
Job Sharing with Inter-MyTrucking is one feature that’s made a big difference.
It lets jobs move directly between MyTrucking users with no calls, messages, or double handling. Instead, jobs are sent digitally from one system to another.
As Luke puts it:
“MyTrucking is easy to use and has been easily integrated into my business. Drivers have also found the app very useful and easy to use. I would highly recommend to any current or aspiring transport company.”
Benefits of Job Sharing with Inter-MyTrucking:
- Subcontractors receive the full job details directly in their own MyTrucking account.
- Clear job statuses show immediately when a job is sent, accepted, or completed.
- Photos, proof of delivery, and other driver returned information flow back to the original job automatically.
- Only the job sending company needs Job Sharing enabled, keeping setup simple for subcontractors.
- Used with Cost Rate for subcontractor costs, operators get a clear view of job costs and profit, while pricing stays fully controlled by the job sending company.
