Why we built Run Your Rig

Every owner-operator we know has the same 11 PM ritual. Pull into a truck stop. Pull out the laptop. Squint at a rate con PDF a broker emailed six hours ago. Re-type every field — broker, rate, stops, appointments, detention terms — into a TMS that was designed in 2008 for dispatchers in a cubicle, then marketed to drivers as an afterthought.

The drivers we talked to were tired of it. Specifically, tired of paying $100/mo for a system that couldn't do the one thing they actually needed: make the rate con stop being paperwork.

So we built Run Your Rig around a single idea: the driver is the user. Everything else flows from that. The rate con becomes a photograph. The detention clock becomes a live timer on the load screen. The paperwork bundle becomes a single tap to broker accounting. The invoice fills itself in with timestamps the driver never had to write down.

Run Your Rig is the TMS solo drivers kept describing to us. We're building it in public. We're pricing it for the driver who still remembers their first truck payment. And we're shipping it on iPhone first, then Android in 2026, because drivers don't run their business from a laptop — they run it from the cab.

That's the whole pitch. If it resonates, the web dashboard is live today at app.runyourrig.com — free for your first 90 days — and the iPhone app is right behind it.
