Built From the Ground Up for Heavy Trucks

Unlike auto estimating tools adapted for trucks, TruckWriter was purpose-built for the commercial vehicle collision industry — covering class 8 heavy trucks, semi trailers, and school buses.

With 38 years of heavy equipment experience behind every feature, our system delivers verified part numbers, labor times, and procedures that other tools simply can't match.

Visual Estimating System

Thousands of part graphics with detailed damage screens for trucks, trailers, and school buses.

VIN Decoder Built In

Enter a 17-digit VIN and TruckWriter extracts make, model, year, engine specs, and GVWR instantly.

500+ Commercial Vehicles

Database covers medium duty to class 8 heavy trucks, semi trailers, school buses, and more.

Labor & Procedures Included

Verified labor times, overlap protection, and procedure reminders built right into the workflow.
