Best Dump Truck Load Apps: Trux, ShaleApps, and Alternatives
April 14, 2026·8 min read
Short answer
Trux is the leader in most metro markets. ShaleApps is dominant in oilfield regions. Both take 10–15% of gross. Use them to fill gaps while you build direct GC relationships.
Load apps are a great first month and a mediocre year-two. Understand the trade-off before you build your business on someone else's platform.
