Driver Settlement Software for Growing Trucking Fleets

Browser-based Carrier TMS — no desktop download. Driver settlements are included on Growth, Pro, and Custom plans.
- Load pay tied to completed trips instead of manual re-entry
- Advances, deductions, and expenses in one settlement workflow
- Settlement history when drivers ask about prior pay periods
Settlements live inside Hawk Lane Carrier TMS — dispatch, documents, invoicing, and pay in one workspace.
Driver settlements
What is driver settlement software?
Driver settlement software calculates driver pay from completed loads, then applies advances, deductions, and expenses so you are not rebuilding pay in a spreadsheet each week. In Hawk Lane, settlements live inside Carrier TMS on Growth, Pro, and Custom plans — not on the Free plan. Request Free Access for the core TMS, then upgrade when you need settlements.
Settlement Workflow Features
Practical settlement tools for dispatchers and back-office staff — fewer manual steps from delivered load to driver pay.
Deductions
Apply recurring or one-time deductions — insurance, escrow, equipment, or other fleet-specific items — before you finalize pay.
Advances
Track driver advances through the settlement cycle so outstanding balances roll into the next period automatically.
Expenses
Include fuel, tolls, lumper fees, and other trip expenses in settlement preparation so drivers see a complete picture.
Settlement History
Review prior settlement periods, compare pay, and answer driver questions without searching email or old spreadsheets.
Connected to Dispatch
Settlement data stays linked to loads, documents, and invoicing in Carrier TMS — one workspace for operations and back office. Completed assignment and check calls live on trucking dispatch software before pay is prepared.
From Delivered Load to Settlement Statement
Pay is prepared from the load the driver already ran, then reviewed before the statement is final. Hawk Lane organises settlement records. It does not file payroll taxes or replace your accountant.
- Load is delivered with documents on the record
- Pay rules, advances and deductions are applied
- Office reviews the settlement
- Statement is stored in settlement history
