Trip Planning and Dispatch
Plan trips and dispatch drivers, trucks and trailers
Build trips from waiting loads or orders, assign drivers, trucks and trailers, and work every pickup and delivery stop in order. Find the closest truck for a load, record miles by state, and close several trips at once.
What it does
- Create a trip from selected loads or orders with a guided wizard, or add them to an existing trip
- Assign drivers, trucks and trailers to each trip, and review every pickup and delivery stop
- Find the closest available trucks for a load, or the closest loads for a truck
- Record driver and truck miles per trip, with a miles by state summary for fuel tax reporting
