TRUEHOUR is the financial operating system for equipment-based small businesses. Built for skid-steer operators, landscapers, owner-operator truckers, tractor owners, dozer crews, and small service contractors — it turns the cost of running your machine into a number you can actually charge against. Most small operators undercharge because they don't know what their equipment really costs to own and operate. Fuel, depreciation, interest, insurance, repairs, tires/tracks, and overhead disappear into the noise — and so does your margin. TRUEHOUR makes those costs visible, accurate, and actionable. TRUSTED METHODOLOGY, ADVANCED FOR YOUR BUSINESS TRUEHOUR's cost engine is built on the same Owning & Operating (O&O) calculation standard created by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 70 years — a standard adopted by AGC, Caterpillar, AED, and AACE International as the gold standard for equipment cost calculation. Traditional O&O focused on machine-level costs only. TRUEHOUR adds the Business Overhead Center, automatically allocating business overhead across your fleet on a per-hour basis so your rate reflects the full cost of running your operation. WHAT YOU GET • True Owning & Operating (O&O) cost per hour for every machine — using the trusted industry gold standard • Job estimating with equipment, vehicle, labor, materials, permits, subcontracts, and non-productive time • Real-time profitability engine: break-even rate, recommended rate, sensitivity analysis • Estimated vs. actual job tracking — finally know which jobs made money • AI cost guidance that suggests realistic ranges without ever overriding your inputs • Anonymized benchmark ranges from similar equipment • Machine health score (0–100) — utilization, downtime, repair patterns • End-of-year Schedule C tax summary, ready to hand to your accountant • PDF and CSV export for reports, estimates, and tax summaries • Mobile-first UI built for the job site — gloves, sunlight, one-handed use FREE (BASIC) One machine, full O&O calculation, expense tracking, monthly/yearly reports, basic job estimating, Schedule C summary, AI cost-fill assistance.
