About HaulHub

HaulHub Technologies provides a performance platform for the heavy construction industry, focusing on digitizing and automating logistics and data management for public infrastructure projects. The company was founded in 2015 by Joe Spinelli, who currently serves as the CEO.

Spinelli's background uniquely positioned him to identify the market need for HaulHub. He began his career in technology, working as a web developer and later as a mergers and acquisitions analyst at the internet company Lycos during its rapid growth in the late 1990s. He then transitioned to the civil engineering and construction sector, founding his own development firm in 2003 and later merging with a third-generation construction company, R. Bates and Sons. This direct experience in the construction field revealed the inefficiencies of traditional, paper-based processes for material ordering, scheduling, and transportation. The initial concept for HaulHub emerged from an internal, text-based tool developed at R. Bates and Sons to automate the scheduling of trucks, which quickly gained traction within the local construction community.

The company operates a B2B model, serving material producers, contractors, and government transportation agencies. Its revenue is generated through software licensing and a percentage from each facilitated trip. HaulHub's cloud-based software suite digitizes the entire construction material supply chain, from ordering and transportation management to digital ticketing and payroll automation. The platform offers real-time GPS tracking of trucks and materials, automated scheduling, and data analytics, replacing inefficient paper-based workflows.

A key product is the EDOT platform, which began as an e-Ticketing solution and has since expanded to a comprehensive suite for public works project management. This platform is now used by nearly 40 state transportation agencies and integrates with systems like AASHTOWare Project to create a single source of data for construction materials. The platform's features include tools for work zone safety, digital material submittals, compliance reporting, and the creation of digital as-builts by connecting with data from machinery on site. It also provides an analytics solution that offers insights into fleet efficiency, job site costs, and wait times, enabling data-driven decision-making.
