Faster Payments, Smoother Operations: How Roger Is Transforming Bulk Ag Freight
In bulk agriculture freight, carriers and shippers have long dealt with slow, paper-based processes—from handwritten scale tickets and mailed invoices to constant phone tag over load status. These outdated workflows drain efficiency, delay payments, and tie up working capital.
In fact, a recent survey found that 0% of carriers received same-day payment, and 34% waited more than a week. Nearly three-quarters waited four days or longer. In an industry where every day and dollar count, those delays hurt.
Roger is changing that.
The Old Way: Paperwork, Phone Tag, and Payment Delays
Traditional ag freight operations are manual, fragmented, and slow. Drivers hand off paper documents. Office staff chase down invoices. Payments take days—or weeks. Lost tickets and partial payments are common. The result? Wasted time, strained cash flow, and frustrated teams.
Communication is just as clunky. Dispatchers and drivers coordinate via calls and texts, with critical details often lost in the shuffle. One missed message can mean a missed pickup—or an empty truck burning miles.
The inefficiency is real. According to our survey:
- Only 55% of carriers rated driver-dispatch communication as “excellent”
- 69% of drivers prefer to receive load details via mobile app, not spreadsheets or texts
The demand for digital tools is clear. Roger delivers.
The New Way: Digital Hauls, Real-Time Payments
Roger is a purpose-built platform for dry bulk trucking that digitizes the entire haul—from dispatch to delivery to payment.
- Snap & Submit: Drivers capture photos of tickets and upload instantly—no more lost paperwork.
- One-Click Invoicing: Carriers can request payment directly in the app. No paper checks. No mailing delays.
- Live Load Tracking: Shippers see exactly where a truck is—eliminating endless “What’s your ETA?” calls.
- Real-Time Updates: Load changes, delays, and route info are pushed directly to drivers’ phones.
As one logistics manager at Cargill put it:
“We’ve reduced phone calls, cut back on paperwork, and pay carriers faster. It’s a win-win.”
The Results: Faster Pay, Higher Productivity
The impact is real—and measurable.
- 2 out of 3 drivers now receive payment in half the time
- 59% of carrier admins and 75% of drivers say Roger made their work “significantly more efficient”
- Nearly 100% of drivers find the platform easy to use—regardless of tech background
- One dispatcher now handles more loads per day because they’re no longer buried in paperwork. Drivers focus on driving. Admins reclaim time to focus on growing the business.
Even better: nearly half of all surveyed carriers now run most or all of their business through Roger.
