Move more earth.Track every yard.
Your superintendent moved four thousand cubic yards today, ran three scrapers and a dozer, and poured a box culvert. Then he spent forty minutes in the truck hand-writing a DOT daily report — and the quantities still will not match the surveyor by Friday.
The Earthwork Documentation Problem
Linear work across miles of spread demands field-grade documentation that no weekly roll-up can deliver.
Earthwork quantities that never reconcile
Cut and fill volumes, borrow-pit draws, and waste-site hauls need daily documentation. GPS quantity surveys have to reconcile against truck counts and the surveyor’s numbers — and by Friday they rarely agree. The gap is real money nobody can explain.
A different DOT daily report for every job
State DOTs demand standardized dailies in specific formats — weather, manpower, equipment, materials, quantities placed. After ten hours in the dirt, the superintendent fills them out by hand in the truck. The format changes with the agency.
Equipment spread across miles with no idle picture
Dozers, scrapers, excavators, and haul trucks deploy across miles of linear work. Which units are productive and which are idling on rental and fuel? The weekly roll-up says “equipment on site” and nothing about what it cost to sit.
Material tests that block the next lift
Compaction tests, gradation, and concrete breaks must be documented and linked to the exact placement area. A pending or failing test stops the next lift — but the result is buried in an email, so the crew pours anyway or stands around waiting.
POD for Heavy Civil
From the first cut to final grade, POD captures every yard, every machine hour, and every test — daily from the field.
Cut/Fill Reconciliation
Daily earthwork quantities captured by voice and location — cut, fill, borrow, and waste. POD keeps a running cut/fill balance and surfaces where truck counts and survey data diverge, so a quantity dispute shows up the same day instead of at pay-app time.
Same-Day DOT Dailies
POD captures the daily into the fields state DOT reports ask for — weather, manpower, equipment hours, materials, and quantities placed — from one field voice report. Structured, auditable, and done before the super leaves the jobsite.
Equipment Idle vs Active
Track active hours, idle hours, and idle cost for every machine across the spread. POD shows which units earn their rental and which are burning fuel sitting still, so tomorrow’s sequence moves iron where it pays.
Material Test Tracking
Compaction, gradation, and break results link to the exact placement area and the daily report. Pending, failing, and retest items live in one view, so the crew knows whether the next lift is cleared before they mobilize for it.
One Dashboard Across the Spread
Every segment, borrow pit, and crew reports into a single project picture. Quantities, equipment, safety, and tests roll up across miles of linear work — drill into any station, any day, any test from the portfolio view.
Watch the Cut Reach the Fill
The hill on the left is cut down toward design grade. The valley on the right fills up to meet it. Haul trucks carry the material across, the cubic-yard counter climbs, and the balance ring closes as the job reaches equilibrium.

These KPIs auto-populate from daily field uploads — no manual data entry required.

Overall
Purpose-Built for Dirt Work
Borrow & Waste Site Tracking
Track borrow-pit inventory and waste-site volumes by location. Daily draws and hauls reconcile against the mass-haul plan so the earthwork balance is never a Friday surprise.
Haul & Truck-Count Capture
Record truck counts and haul cycles from the field and reconcile them against GPS quantity surveys. Discrepancies between hauled and surveyed volume surface the same day.
Compaction & Density Logs
Capture nuclear-gauge and sand-cone density results tied to lift, station, and placement area. Failing results flag the area so the crew knows the next lift is not cleared until a retest passes.
Equipment Hours & Idle Cost
Log machine hours and idle time per unit. Idle cost rolls up by day and by machine so rental and fuel waste is visible while there is still time to redeploy.
The POD Difference
POD replaces the Friday reconciliation scramble with a running daily picture. Quantities, equipment hours, and test results flow in from the field every day, so the earthwork balance is never a surprise at pay-app time.
