Half the tracking fee. Right in your pocket. Brokers pay to track every load. CharterTrace splits that fee 50/50 with you. No waiting, no subscription fees, just cash in your wallet on every delivered load. Zero check-in calls. No more brokers calling every two hours asking for your location. Tap the text link from your dispatcher, drive your route, and let tracking handle the rest. When you arrive, snap a photo of the paperwork. Tracking stops instantly, and your proof of delivery is stamped with time and location. Your privacy is non-negotiable. We track the load, not your life. CharterTrace only runs while you're on an active shipment. We never track you between loads, never sell your data, and never share your location with ad networks. How to get paid: - Tap the tracking link sent by your dispatcher. - Drive your route uninterrupted. - Snap a photo of the signed paperwork at delivery. - Cash out your tracking fee directly to your bank or debit card. Built for owner-operators, OTR and regional drivers, and small fleets. The whole app is available in English and Spanish. The screenshots on this page are generated by our release pipeline from the real app. What you see is what installs. Requirements: - A load from a dispatcher using CharterTrace - A US debit card or bank account for payouts - Location on while you run the load
