For specialty freight suppliers

Every shipment, witnessed.

HaulWitness creates a complete, timestamped record of condition and custody from your dock to the dealer receiving it—so damage disputes stop becoming guesswork.

Finding // the broken handoff

The paperwork trail breaks the moment freight leaves your dock.

For manufacturers serving dealer networks, condition and responsibility can pass through several hands before anyone notices a problem. By then, everyone has a different story.

FINDING 01

Damage disputes without proof

A dent appears at delivery, but nobody can show exactly when it happened or what the unit looked like at pickup.

FINDING 02

Manual records trapped in binders

Paper logs and scattered photos cannot provide a searchable, time-sequenced record across the full shipment.

FINDING 03

Invisible custody handoffs

Carrier, driver, dock team, dealer, and receiver each touch the load, but responsibility is rarely documented cleanly.

FINDING 04

Liability defaults to whoever is closest

Without a trusted record, claims are decided through pressure, memory, and incomplete evidence instead of facts.

Solution // one documented chain

A purpose-built record for every unit, handoff, and exception.

HaulWitness connects field devices, supplier operations, and receiving dealers around a single locked timeline of what happened.

Core record system

Document the shipment, not just the destination.

Capture every scan, photo, signature, status update, and custody transfer in one chronological record built for auditability.

Dealer receiving flow

Why HaulWitness

Built around accountability, not data extraction.

A specialized freight product should protect the supplier’s relationships, records, and operations—not turn shipment activity into someone else’s commodity.

01 //

No data reselling

Shipment, dealer, device, and damage records remain private and are not packaged, aggregated, or sold.

02 //

Fully managed field fleet

MntCoders handles remote device diagnostics, troubleshooting, software support, and repair coordination.

03 //

Designed from road experience

The workflow reflects real pickup, transit, dock, and receiver conditions rather than an office-only process map.

04 //

Purpose-built for truck accessories

The workflow is designed around manufacturer-to-dealer accessory shipments, including unit identification, condition photos, damage exceptions, and signed receiving records.

Market focus // truck accessories

Built for accessory manufacturers and their dealer networks.

HaulWitness documents the exact condition and custody of caps, covers, racks, steps, storage systems, and other high-value truck accessories from the supplier dock through dealer acceptance.

02 // TRANSIT

Record exceptions while they happen

Drivers can add timestamped photos and notes when straps shift, packaging is compromised, or damage is discovered in transit.

03 // DELIVERY

Give dealers a consistent receiving process

Dealer staff follow a guided intake workflow, compare condition, document exceptions, and sign the final custody transfer.

04 // DISPUTES

Replace conflicting stories with evidence

Suppliers, carriers, and dealers can review the same timestamped record when responsibility for damage is questioned.

Sales consultation // tailored deployment

Build the right HaulWitness deployment for your network.

Review your pickup-to-receiver workflow, determine the right managed-device mix, and discuss optional platform services that can be added as your operation grows.
