Our Mission

Let Drivers Drive

Owner-operators didn't start trucking companies to shuffle paperwork. They started them to drive, to build something of their own, to be their own boss.

But running a trucking business means dealing with IFTA filings, expense tracking, receipt management, and a mountain of compliance requirements. Most owner-operators spend hours every week on administrative tasks that take them away from what they do best.

Fifth Wheel exists to change that. We're building software that handles the business side of trucking so drivers can focus on the road.

Why We Built This

The Real Problem

Fragmented Tools

Most owner-operators use a patchwork of spreadsheets, paper logs, shoeboxes of receipts, and maybe an app or two that doesn't talk to anything else. This fragmentation wastes time and leads to errors.

Built for Fleets

Enterprise trucking software is designed for large fleets with dedicated back-office staff. Owner-operators don't need—or want—complex systems with features they'll never use.

Compliance Anxiety

IFTA audits can go back four years. One missing fuel receipt or miscalculated mile can mean penalties. The stress of staying compliant shouldn't keep drivers up at night.

Profit Blindness

Without clear expense tracking, many owner-operators don't actually know their profit per mile. They're running blind, taking loads that might not even cover their costs.

Our Approach

Simple by Design

We believe the best software disappears. You shouldn't have to think about your tools—they should just work.

Fifth Wheel is designed to be used with one hand, in a truck cab, between loads. Big buttons. Fast actions. No learning curve.

Every feature we build answers one question: Does this help an owner-operator run their business better?

What We Believe

Our Values

Driver First

Every decision we make starts with the driver. If it doesn't help owner-operators, we don't build it.

Honest Always

No hidden fees, no dark patterns, no selling your data. We're upfront about what we do and don't do.

Your Data, Your Control

You own your data. Export it, delete it, do whatever you want with it. We're just the custodians.

Listen & Learn

Our best features come from driver feedback. We're always listening, always learning, always improving.

Quality Over Speed

We'd rather ship something great than rush out something mediocre. Your business depends on reliable software.

Keep It Simple

Complexity is the enemy of adoption. If something feels complicated, we're not done designing it.

The Future

Where We're Headed

Fifth Wheel is just getting started. We're building the foundation for something bigger—an intelligent platform that helps owner-operators make better decisions, find better loads, and run more profitable businesses.

AI agents that parse rate confirmations, match you with loads, and predict maintenance needs. Smart analytics that show you exactly where to improve. Integrations with the tools you already use.

We're building the future of trucking software, one feature at a time. And we're doing it with drivers, not for them.
