Homebase + FleetWage
Import Homebase time card exports into FleetWage to automatically match driver hours with per-stop pay calculations.
Overview
Homebase offers free time tracking and scheduling for small businesses. FedEx ISP contractors using Homebase can import time card data directly into FleetWage during payroll processing.
Homebase is the go-to time tracking tool for cost-conscious small fleets — its free tier covers scheduling, time clocks, and basic team messaging at no cost, which is rare in the time-tracking category. Many smaller ISPs use it because the price is right and the mobile clock-in is dead simple. What Homebase doesn't do is calculate FedEx-specific pay, so the data still has to land somewhere that does.
FleetWage imports the Homebase timesheet CSV directly into payroll, matches drivers, and uses the imported hours for the time-based portion of each paycheck. Per-stop and per-package pay are calculated separately by FleetWage from FedEx settlement data.

Why Homebase Matters for FedEx ISP Contractors
Smaller ISPs (one or two CSAs, fewer than 25 drivers) are often running on the tightest margins, so adding software costs hits hard. Homebase's free tier solves the time-tracking part without an additional bill. Pairing it with FleetWage means the only paid software in the fleet's payroll stack is FleetWage itself — and the FleetWage cost is offset many times over by the time saved on weekly payroll cleanup. The second benefit is simplicity. A bookkeeper or owner-operator can run the whole stack alone: drivers clock in via Homebase, payroll closes in FleetWage, and the export hits the payroll provider. No separate scheduling tool, no separate time tool, no separate pay calculation tool. Three steps, three known systems.

Common Use Cases
How FedEx ISP contractors use FleetWage with Homebase every week.
Cost-sensitive small fleets
If you're running one or two CSAs and watching every line item, Homebase + FleetWage is one of the most affordable reliable time-and-pay stacks available.
First-year ISPs
New ISPs often haven't standardized on a time tracker yet. Homebase is fast to set up and free for the basics, and FleetWage handles the FedEx-specific math from day one.
Owners replacing paper time sheets
If drivers are still texting hours or filling out paper sheets, Homebase is a low-friction first digital tool. FleetWage receives the data without complaint.
Best Practices & Tips
Advice from FedEx ISP contractors who use FleetWage with Homebase.
- Approve Homebase timesheets weekly before exporting — it's a one-click step in Homebase's manager view and prevents bad data from importing.
- Set up Homebase break rules to match how your CSA actually works. If drivers don't take a formal lunch, don't pretend they do — it'll cause discrepancies between Homebase hours and reality.
- Use Homebase's free tier for time tracking only. Don't pay for the higher tiers expecting payroll integration with FedEx logic — that part is what FleetWage does.
