What it does

Dispatch board

Build 1 load or 50

Set the contract, lane, rate and required documents once. The loads quantity stepper creates every load with its own number and appointments.

Own fleet or carrier

Assign to a driver or a carrier from the same load. Own-fleet loads are badged, carrier loads carry the carrier's rate and fuel.

Dispatch by SMS and email

Send the load confirmation to driver or carrier by text and email, and see when it was offered, assigned and dispatched.

Grid, map or kanban

Work the board as a grid, on a map, or as cards by status. Group by lane or see every load individually. Save your views.

Margin at the bottom of the board

Load count, revenue, margin and unassigned loads, totalled live in the footer for whatever you've filtered to.

One search for everything

Search loads, contracts, carriers and documents from anywhere in the app.

Groups for planning, individual loads for dispatching

Bulk freight moves in runs: ten loads of distillers grains from the same plant to the same feed yard. The board groups them by lane so you can see the run, then switches to individual loads when it's time to put a driver on each one.

Every row carries what dispatch actually needs: status, origin and destination facilities, who it's assigned to, the rate and its basis, the weight that still needs capturing, and the customer rate.

Peek, assign, confirm

Open any load in a side panel without leaving the board. The carrier card shows DOT number, rate, fuel and contact; the timeline shows when the load was offered, assigned and dispatched; and the load confirmation goes out by SMS and email from the same panel.

Runs, standing orders and offers

Recurring work has its own home in Dispatch. Runs & Orders holds standing and recurring orders (the customer, commodity, route, target and how far along it is) and the runs of loads that fill them, with loaded and empty miles on every run.

Offers collects load offers from the shippers and brokers who hire you, beside the board you dispatch from.

Build the whole run in one form

Link the purchase and sale contract, pick the product and equipment, set the billing weight and the customer rate with its surcharges. Then set the quantity and every load in the run is created with its own number and appointments.

Short a truck? Tick "Post to loadboard after creating" and the load goes to the BulkLoads load board. You review what carriers will see before it publishes.
