Take Control of Your Cashflow Every day you’re moving freight, issuing invoices, and waiting on payments.

About Doug Hayden

I’ve spent my career building businesses in freight and technology — from running one of the country’s top freight brokerages to founding Data Driven Shipping, an online logistics database. Along the way I’ve seen one problem come up again and again: truckers not getting paid on time.
That’s why I created Freight Pay Tracker. It’s built for owner-operators and small fleets who need a simple way to track invoices, stay on top of payments, and keep cash flow steady. After decades in the industry, I know that when drivers get paid faster, they can focus on running their business instead of chasing paperwork.
Freight Pay Tracker is my way of helping the people who keep freight moving run stronger, more profitable operations.

About Lauren Jutabha

I’m Lauren Jutabha, co-founder and lead developer of Freight Pay Tracker. As a Linguistics and Computer Science student at UCLA, I’ve always been drawn to building tools that connect technology with real-world needs. Freight Pay Tracker started as exactly that — a way to give truckers a clean, simple solution for tracking invoices and payments without the usual headaches.
I designed and developed the app end-to-end for iOS and Android, focusing on usability, accessibility, and scalability. My goal has been to make sure drivers and small fleets can manage their payments with the same ease and confidence as any major operation.
At the core, I love solving problems through code — but more than that, I enjoy creating products that empower people to do their work better. Freight Pay Tracker is just the start.
