Our Story
We Didn't Set Out to Build Software.We Set Out to Solve Our Own Problems.
HaulGrid was not created in a boardroom by software executives trying to enter trucking. It was built from years spent inside aggregate and bulk hauling operations—dispatching trucks, chasing paper tickets, helping drivers, processing billing, and keeping work moving when the day did not go as planned.

Built From the Dispatch Office
Before HaulGrid existed, founder Paul Hardison spent years working throughout aggregate and bulk hauling operations.
He saw dispatchers balance customer calls, driver changes, text messages, paper notes, and spreadsheets. He watched office teams spend hours sorting tickets, correcting information, and preparing work for billing. He experienced the same missing paperwork, communication gaps, and disconnected systems that hauling companies still fight every day.
Instead of waiting for someone else to solve those problems, he began building the platform he wished the industry already had.
That platform became HaulGrid.

Industry credibility
Built by Someone Who Already Knew the Industry
Long before HaulGrid, Paul worked closely with industry technology providers, product teams, haulers, producers, and transportation professionals across the aggregate and bulk materials business.
His industry involvement included speaking to Command Alkon employees about the real needs of bulk haulers and being recognized by Command Alkon as its 2021 Bulk Hauler of the Year.
Those experiences helped shape HaulGrid's approach: listen to the people doing the work, understand how the operation actually functions, and build tools around the business instead of forcing the business to work around the software.
Product philosophy
Technology Should Work for the Hauler
We believe hauling companies should not have to reshape their operations around software.
HaulGrid connects the work that already happens every day—from customer orders and dispatch to drivers, field tickets, invoicing, settlements, and reporting. Each part works together because that is how the hauling business works.
The goal is simple: reduce the paperwork, remove unnecessary re-entry, improve communication, and help companies move completed work toward billing faster.
Built Around Real Workflows
The product follows the way aggregate and bulk hauling work moves through a company.
Designed for the Entire Operation
Dispatchers, drivers, office teams, and owners work from the same connected load record.
Practical, Responsive Support
Questions are handled by people who understand the pace and pressure of hauling operations.
Built to Grow With Haulers
Start with the workflows that matter now and expand as the operation is ready for more.
Founder
Meet Paul Hardison
Paul Hardison is the founder of HaulGrid and brings deep experience across aggregate and bulk hauling operations. His background spans driving, dispatch, operations management, customer service, ticket processing, billing, technology implementation, and the day-to-day realities of trucking operations.
After years of working with industry software and pushing vendors to better serve haulers, Paul began building HaulGrid around the problems he encountered in real operations.
That background shapes HaulGrid, bringing firsthand hauling experience directly into the product.
Looking ahead
Built for Where Hauling Is Going
HaulGrid began as a way to solve everyday operational problems, but the vision extends further.
We are building toward a more connected aggregate and bulk hauling industry—where haulers, drivers, dispatchers, office teams, producers, customers, fleet partners, and trusted technology providers can share the information needed to keep work moving without losing control of their own businesses.
HaulGrid is still growing, but its direction will remain grounded in the same principle that started it:
Build what real haulers need.
