Andrew Truckle

Hi, I’m the developer behind TruckleSoft. This is my little corner of the web where I share software projects, tools, and ideas I've built—sometimes out of necessity, sometimes just for fun. Most of what you'll find here is experimental, quirky, or oddly specific, but all of it reflects my curiosity and love for programming.
Feel free to explore, tinker, and maybe even find something useful or entertaining along the way.

Customer oriented top tier developer
My experience with Andrew echoes many of the reviews above. He is willing to go the extra mile to customize his software to meet your exact needs. Unlike some firms that will push back on enhancement requests, Trucklesoft really delivers on pleasing the customer.
Exceptional Support and Custom BricsCAD Solutions from Andrew
Andrew has been a great help to Card Trix. Several years ago I changed CAD software and needed some routines writing to enable me to achieve the same results in a new program (BricsCAD).
I contacted Andrew and even though he did more work in Autocad and Microstation, he had been looking at BricsCAD and knowing nothing about my industry he created what I needed in no time at all. When the latest version was released he updated his routine to accommodate the new functions in double quick time, so I was able to start using the new version straight away. Andrew is very easy to work with and genuinely cares that he is providing you with what you need.
I can’t recommend Andrew enough and am already thinking up my next project I want him to look at.

He’s professional, easygoing, and always delivers exactly what’s needed — on time and with great attention to detail. Andrew’s focus, creativity, and openness to new ideas make every project run smoothly. Working with him is both a productive and genuinely enjoyable experience.
