You Shouldn’t Have to Explain Trucking to Your Payroll Company

If your payroll provider doesn’t understand mileage pay, driver per diem, multi-state drivers or how data moves from your TMS into payroll, you already know the problem. There’s a better way.

We built STPS specifically for trucking fleets. Our team understands driver pay, per diem, multi-state payroll, owner-operator settlements and the other complexities that come with trucking. We also work with payroll data from major trucking management systems, including McLeod, AscendTMS and others, so your existing TMS can remain at the center of your operation.

Customized Reports & Pay Stubs
Clarity matters. Get tailored reports and customized pay stubs that are easy to understand and meet your specific needs. You will never be left in the dark.
Real, Reliable Support
No call centers here! You’ll work with a dedicated payroll expert who’s just a phone call or email away, ready to help whenever you need it.
A Managed Payroll Transition

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They are amazing at what they do highly recommend every trucking company should use them for using paychecks and other big name I was very disappointed at the lack of service and incorrect payroll. Superior trucking is our eyes and ears and is the best in this industry.

As we were growing from 10 drivers to 40 drivers and contractors are payroll got more complicated and our vendors kept failing us.

Everyone in trucking should use them.

Questions Trucking Companies Ask Us Most

What makes trucking payroll different from regular payroll?

Trucking payroll has special needs that most regular payroll companies don’t understand. Things like mileage pay, per diem, escrow, and customized driver pay stubs make trucking payroll more complex. We understand trucking and make it easy for you. When a generic payroll company sees mileage pay, they treat it like a salary. When they see per diem, they often handle it in ways that create IRS exposure. These aren’t small mistakes — they cost your drivers money and can cost your company in penalties. See this article for more detail

Can you handle payroll for larger trucking fleets?

Yes. STPS works with complex trucking payrolls involving hundreds of employees, multiple federal tax IDs, multiple states, different pay types, departments and trucking-specific payroll requirements. We’ve transitioned a company with approximately 500 employees across three federal tax IDs from approval to first payroll in just eight days.

Can you handle payroll for owner-operators as well as W-2 employees?

Yes! We can run payroll for both 1099 contractors and W-2 company drivers, as well as your office staff.

Can you work with payroll data from our TMS?

Yes. We work with payroll data exported from major trucking management systems, including McLeod, AscendTMS and others. Your team can send us the data you already use rather than manually re-entering everything into a separate payroll system.

Can I switch to your service in the middle of the year?

Yes, you can switch anytime. We’ll help you move over from your old provider, gather your payroll history, and make sure your taxes are handled correctly during the transition.

How long does it take to switch payroll providers?

Switching to STPS can often take less than two weeks, even for complex payrolls. We’ve transitioned a company with approximately 500 employees across three federal tax IDs from “go” to first payroll in just eight days. Every transition is different, but our process is designed to get you up and running quickly without sacrificing accuracy or control.
