Hemut growth playbook

Add a "1-3 trucks (included)" row to the pricing table: $99, $248 and $298. Replace the single 10-truck snapshot with a truck-count slider showing all three monthly totals (the 3, 6 and 10-truck totals already exist on the small-fleets page). Give each plan one line on who it is for: Command for dispatch, tracking, invoices and IFTA; Pro adds the dispatch desk, auto-bid and maintenance; All-in adds detention alerts and custom agents. Carry the same numbers into the product: the day-30 screen states the fleet's All-in price and offers Command at $99 as a one-click way to keep going instead of a locked account. Add a meta description (the page has none): "From $99 a month for 3 trucks. Every plan priced. 30 days free, no card." The upside is fewer locked trials and a "every price published" claim that survives a buyer, or an AI assistant, checking it.

Hemut's case against McLeod and Truckbase is a published price and a no-card trial. A three-truck owner who cannot find their number on the pricing page either guesses from the 10-truck figure ($599, twice what they would pay) or leaves. An exact number plus a cheaper plan to land on turns the trial-end lock from a surprise into a choice.

Pricing table, new first row:
1-3 trucks (included) | Command $99 | Command Pro $248 | Command All-in $298

Trial-end screen:
"Your 30 days on All-in end today. For your 3 trucks, All-in is $298 a month. Want to keep it simpler? Command is $99 a month and keeps your loads, tracking, invoices and IFTA. Nothing is deleted either way."

• Seeing $298 puts some owners off starting a trial

  Lead with "30 days free, then from $99" and show the cheapest plan first.

• Switches to Command lower revenue per account

  Count retained accounts, and prompt an upgrade when a Pro feature is used.

• Your websitePricing page: "Every rate is published on this page, with no quote to request." "Hemut Command starts at $99 a month, which includes your first 3 trucks", then $29 a truck for trucks 4 to 15 and $24 for 16 to 30. Command Pro ($39 and $34) and Command All-in ($43 and $38) appear only per truck and in a 10-truck snapshot ($521 and $599 a month); no price is given for a 1-3 truck fleet on Pro or All-in, though "the first 3 are included in every plan". FAQ: "We ask for a card when the trial ends, and the account locks until one is on file." "There is no free tier." The page has no meta description.Source
• Your websiteSmall-fleets page: 3 trucks cost "$99 a month" on Command, "$248 a month" on Command Pro and "$298 a month" on Command All-in; 6 trucks cost $186, $365 and $427; 10 trucks $302, $521 and $599. The page does not say how the three plans differ or which one a small fleet should pick.Source
• Your website"For AI assistants" page (/ai-info): lists Command, Control, Forge, Custom, Hemut Diesel and the free carrier tools; publishes "$248" (Pro) and "$298" (All-in) a month, each including 3 trucks; says carriers can sign up and dispatch the same afternoon; names Kismet Trucking and PrimeLink Express, both in Fresno, as Command customers.Source
• Your websiteHomepage: H1 "Hemi, the AI operating system for trucking companies"; calls to action "Get started for free" and "Have us set it up" (30 days free, no card); four solutions, Command, Control, Forge and Custom; Hemi's billing desk prepares factoring packets and syncs QuickBooks; the dispatch desk is on Pro and up, detention and custom agents on All-in, and trials run on All-in. The ROI block reads "0.0%", "0hrs" and "$0K+" in the page text (the same on the small-fleets page) above "We don't sell software. We drive outcomes." Both testimonials come from one customer, Meiborg Brothers.Source

On day 20, send each trial account a one-page recap from its own data: loads created from rate cons, invoices sent, PODs chased, detention flagged, hours saved at the ROI calculator's assumptions, and what each of the three plans would cost at the fleet's truck count. The new junior sales rep follows up by phone or text with fleets that used Pro or All-in features, and offers Command to the rest.

Owners pay for results they can see. A recap built from their own loads shows value before the card prompt, and the plan suggestion stops fleets that only need Command from walking away at $298.

• Thin usage makes a weak recap

  For low-usage trials, offer the done-for-you setup instead.

• Too many messages

  One recap, one follow-up.

• #1 Publish the $248 and $298 three-truck prices on the pricing page, starting with All-in, the plan every trial runs on

Render the final values in the HTML and let the animation count from them (or skip it). Attach a source line to each number (which customer or deployment, over what period), and use the same three numbers in the homepage meta description and the /ai-info page.

Outcome claims are Hemut's core message. If the text an assistant or search engine reads says zero, the strongest proof on the page is invisible exactly where small-fleet buyers increasingly research software.

• Unsourced numbers invite doubt

  Add a one-line source under each figure.

Both testimonials come from one customer, Meiborg Brothers.Source
• Your websiteROI & Case Studies page: two stories. Meiborg Brothers, a $100M+ carrier, brokerage and 3PL in Illinois and Texas, moving off 10+ tools, with software spend projected to drop 82% when fully deployed; Kismet Trucking, a small Fresno carrier that went from pen and paper to Command with more than half of its workflows automated. Neither gives a fleet size or a customer quote. Unattributed metrics: 11 hours saved per dispatcher a week, $300,000+ in software spend, 4.7% more revenue per mile, 52% less labor expense, 1.4x win rate.Source

Add a short credits explainer (what one credit does, typical use per truck a month, what happens at zero) and one add-ons section with a single price list for email and voice, marked live or coming soon consistently. Show a worked example: a 6-truck Pro fleet, its credits, and its likely add-on spend.

Credits are the difference between the three plans, so unexplained credits make the upgrade decision a guess. Clear usage pricing removes the fear of a surprise bill, which matters to small fleets with thin margins.

• Explaining credits invites comparison on cost per action

  Frame credits around jobs done, such as a rate con read or a check call.

• Your websitePricing page add-ons and credits: plans carry 50, 500 and 1,100 Hemi credits per truck with no explanation of what a credit buys; the plan table says "Email agent: coming soon on Pro and All-in, from $99 a month" while the FAQ prices email tiers ($99 for 300, $199 for 750, $349 for 1,500 emails sent); the voice agent is $0.20 a minute in the table and tiered from $249 for 1,250 minutes in the FAQ. No annual pricing is shown.Source

Route each form to the sales rep's phone with a one-hour target during business hours and a text within five minutes after hours. Before calling, pull the carrier's lookup record (authority, insurance, fleet size) so the first minute is about their operation. Book the setup session on the call and load their trucks the same day.

Small-fleet owners are on the road and decide fast; the first company to call back usually wins. Opening with their own record shows Hemut already understands them.

Show author, role and "updated" date on every post and in article markup, link each to its author page, and add a sources box to stat-led posts (the 41% authority-loss figure, the $272,000 figure). Pick one number for the small-fleet post and use it in the title, URL and body, redirecting the old URL if it changes. Add a simple newsletter signup, since there is none.

Dated, signed, sourced posts read as research rather than marketing, and consistent numbers stop a sceptical owner from doubting the rest of the article.

Write a Truckbase comparison with the same rows: price, trial, getting started, AI on the load, accounting, fit, integrations and track record, sourced from Truckbase's own pages and dated. Lead with what is genuinely different for a 3-15 truck fleet: a published price and a 30-day no-card trial.

Connect Diesel fuel transactions to Command so fuel purchases flow straight into IFTA and expenses, then offer Diesel fleets a Command trial framed around that: "Your fuel is already in. Add your loads and get your IFTA quarter done." Put a Command card in the owner dashboard and the Hemut Fuel app, and a Diesel discount for Command customers in return.

Selling to existing customers is cheaper than finding new ones, and the IFTA link is a real time saver, not just a cross-sell. A shared login for fuel and operations also makes both harder to leave.

Run a weekly series inside Trxckwrld on the business of running a truck: getting and keeping authority, IFTA, invoices and factoring, detention.

Build one "first year of authority" hub: a month-by-month checklist that links each guide, a free account that stores the carrier's USDOT number and sends reminders for filings, and Command at $99 as the natural home once loads start. Promote it through Trxckwrld, the carrier lookup and search for new-authority questions.

New carriers have the highest need and the fewest tools. Helping them survive year one earns trust at the exact moment they choose software, and reminders bring them back every quarter.

Add a "watch this carrier" button that asks only for an email or phone number and sends an alert when anything in the record changes. Carriers watching their own number get the alert plus a Command reminder setup; brokers and shippers watching several carriers get a weekly digest. Keep the lookup itself free and ungated.

Write up Kismet, PrimeLink Express and one more Command fleet with truck count, what they used before, the time and money saved in their first 60 days, and a short video or photo of the owner. Put one on the homepage, the pricing page and the small-fleets page, and give the ROI metrics a named source.

A three-truck owner trusts another three-truck owner more than a 3PL. Specific, sized stories also make the ROI calculator's numbers believable.

Add an annual toggle to the pricing page (12 months for the price of 10), offer it at trial end and again at month three to fleets that are active, and give annual customers priority setup help.

Build a three-step first-run checklist: forward or upload one rate con, connect the ELD (Samsara, Motive, Geotab), dispatch the load to a driver. Time each new account to its first load, nudge stuck accounts by text, and have the sales rep call anyone not at a first load after 24 hours.

Trial accounts that create a real load early are far more likely to pay. Making the first load the goal gives product, sales and onboarding one number to move.

Add an optional "save this quarter" that exports a PDF and, with an email, stores it and sends a reminder two weeks before the next quarter is due, pre-filled with last quarter's states. The reminder offers Command's automatic IFTA (and Diesel's fuel data) as the way to stop typing it in. Keep the no-signup path exactly as it is.

It respects the privacy promise while turning a one-off tool into a quarterly habit that leads to Command.

• Your websitePricing page: "Every rate is published on this page, with no quote to request." "Hemut Command starts at $99 a month, which includes your first 3 trucks", then $29 a truck for trucks 4 to 15 and $24 for 16 to 30. Command Pro ($39 and $34) and Command All-in ($43 and $38) appear only per truck and in a 10-truck snapshot ($521 and $599 a month); no price is given for a 1-3 truck fleet on Pro or All-in, though "the first 3 are included in every plan". FAQ: "We ask for a card when the trial ends, and the account locks until one is on file." "There is no free tier." The page has no meta description.Source

Offer an All-in guarantee: if Hemi's detention and accessorial billing does not recover at least the plan's cost in the first 90 days, the next quarter is free. Track detention billed and paid per account, show it in the app, and publish the anonymised total recovered.

A small fleet owner hesitating at $298 a month hears "it pays for itself or it's free", which no demo-led rival can easily match, and the tracking makes every customer a measured case study.

• Shippers refuse to pay detention

  Measure detention billed with proof, and cap the guarantee at one quarter.

• Fleets with little detention

  Make the guarantee opt-in for fleets that haul to facilities with waits.

• #1 Publish the $248 and $298 three-truck prices on the pricing page, starting with All-in, the plan every trial runs on

• Your websiteHomepage: H1 "Hemi, the AI operating system for trucking companies"; calls to action "Get started for free" and "Have us set it up" (30 days free, no card); four solutions, Command, Control, Forge and Custom; Hemi's billing desk prepares factoring packets and syncs QuickBooks; the dispatch desk is on Pro and up, detention and custom agents on All-in, and trials run on All-in. The ROI block reads "0.0%", "0hrs" and "$0K+" in the page text (the same on the small-fleets page) above "We don't sell software. We drive outcomes." Both testimonials come from one customer, Meiborg Brothers.Source
• Your websiteROI calculator: inputs include trucks, loads per truck a week, office cost per hour, plan and whether invoices are factored; the default example shows $56,218 saved a year against $6,252 for Command Pro (9.0x) and 66 office hours a month; "No email needed to see the result", with an optional "Email me these numbers".Source

Sign two or three factoring companies as partners: their carriers get a Command offer, and packets go straight from Hemut to the factor in their preferred format. Partners refer new carriers; Hemut gets a trusted introduction at the moment a carrier sets up its back office.

Factors touch new carriers before most software vendors do, and cleaner packets save the factor money, so both sides gain.

• Carriers fear being tied to one factor

  Keep packets exportable to any factor.

Record short weekly videos from the founder: one real back-office problem (a lost POD, an unbilled detention, a messy IFTA quarter), how it was handled then, and how Command handles it now. Cut each into clips for Trxckwrld, LinkedIn and YouTube Shorts, linking to the matching free tool.

Owners buy from people who have done the job. A founder who has run trucks speaks their language in a way a feature list cannot.

• Founder time is scarce

  Batch-record four videos in one session.
