Trux Automated Cycle-Time Tracking

Through the day, WebRun opens Trux, reads the GPS cycle times for each truck from plant to jobsite and back, compares each round trip to the target for that lane, records the actuals in Google Sheets, and pings a cycle-time snapshot to the owner on Telegram so slow lanes surface early.

In short

How do I automatically track dump truck cycle time from the quarry to the jobsite?

WebRun reads the GPS cycle data in Trux every hour, measuring each truck's load, haul, dump, and return legs from quarry to jobsite. It records target versus actual per lane in Google Sheets and pings a ranked cycle-time snapshot to the owner on Telegram, so slow lanes and falling loads-per-hour surface while there is still time to react.

  • Slow lanes surfaced hourly against a target cycle time
  • Loads-per-hour projected while the day can still be fixed
  • A logged cycle-time history to renegotiate lane rates

Built for dump truck dispatchers · aggregate haulers · site logistics managers · material producers

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens app.truxnow.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Trux - read GPS cycle times
    truxnow.com
    WebRun in Trux: read GPS cycle times
    WebRun opens Trux to read GPS cycle times.
    • Open Trux and pull the real-time and historical GPS cycle data for active trucks
    • Capture load, haul, dump, and return legs for each truck's round trip
    • Compute the average cycle time per plant-to-jobsite lane

    Done when Each active truck has a measured plant-to-jobsite cycle time.

  3. 2
    Google Sheets - record target versus actual
    google.com
    WebRun in Google Sheets: record target versus actual
    WebRun opens Google Sheets to record target versus actual.
    • Open the cycle-time tracker in Google Sheets
    • Record each lane's target cycle time next to today's actual
    • Compute the variance and loads-per-hour for each lane

    Done when The tracker shows target versus actual cycle time for every active lane.

  4. 3
    Telegram - ping the cycle-time snapshot
    telegram.org
    WebRun in Telegram: ping the cycle-time snapshot
    WebRun opens Telegram to ping the cycle-time snapshot.
    • Send the owner a cycle-time snapshot on Telegram
    • Rank lanes by how far actual cycle time runs over target
    • Note the projected loads for the day at the current pace

    Done when The owner has an hourly cycle-time snapshot on Telegram.

Questions, answered

Where do the cycle times come from?

They come from the real-time and historical GPS tracking in Trux, which records each truck's load, haul, dump, and return legs, so the round-trip time reflects the actual movement plant to jobsite.

Does it change any dispatch on its own?

No. WebRun only measures and reports cycle time to Telegram and Google Sheets. Any decision to add trucks or reroute a lane stays with your dispatcher.

How is a lane's target set?

You set a target cycle time per plant-to-jobsite lane once, and WebRun compares each run against it. You can update the targets any time and the next snapshot uses the new figures.
