Trial periods are also offered by the company, in case you want to try it first before paying the full subscription service. If you want to subscribe to service you will then need to contact your supplier sales rep and tell them you want to be invited to join Truckast. Your supplier will invite you, and you will get an email with your username and password.

Contractors can opt to have a single user license fee per year or through a month to month account, and suppliers will need to be in the system as well.
