Stop calling around. Check the board.
Who has room, who picked up, where the trucks are and who is handling which load: a car-hauling dispatch team reads it all from one live board, with each person's changes showing up for everyone.
Who has room today?
Know which trailers need loads before the first call.
- Spots Today estimates open pickup spots for Today and Tomorrow from trailer capacity, vehicles on board, delivery openings and who is working.
- It suggests up to two nearby unassigned pickups per driver, each with its own Assign. It is planning only and changes nothing until you assign.
- Filter drivers to Needs loads, Has room, Full, Over Capacity or Not working.
- Mark a driver not working until a date up to 90 days out. They stay on the board, and assigning them asks first.
Who is handling this load?
Split the work. Share one board.
- Every load carries a Driver and a Dispatcher, and both save right in the board row.
- Select loads to assign a driver or dispatcher, change status, send to drivers or archive them together.
- Filter the Active Board to one dispatcher's loads, or to loads with no dispatcher yet.
- Change status, Assign drivers, Assign dispatchers, View load payment and Edit load payment are separate permissions in Roles & Permissions.
- On a load, Editing now names who is working on which part, and a draft is never silently overwritten: Compare latest, Reapply my draft or Use latest.
Did he pick up? Where is the truck?
Pickups, deliveries and trucks, without a check-in call.
- Send to driver releases a load to the TruckTA Driver App as Ready to pick up. Pickups and deliveries come back to the board without a refresh.
- Live Maps groups trucks into Attention, Moving, Stopped and Parked, with the unit, driver and speed on every row.
- No update for 10 minutes moves a truck to Attention, and its last marker stays on the map, flagged.
- Truck sharing health says in plain words why a driver is Stale, Offline or Permission blocked.
- Location comes from the Driver App on iPhone and Android. There is no tracking device to install, and Live Maps shows last known locations, not arrival times.
See Live Maps and the Driver App.
What went wrong with TA-5120?
Problems get a tab, not a text thread.
- Report problem in the load's row menu opens Report Problem. Add a Problem note, choose Save Problem, and the load joins the Problems tab.
- The Problems tab keeps a count, so nobody has to ask what is still open.
- Resolve problem sits in the same menu once it is handled.
- Flag/resolve problems is its own permission, and in the Driver App, problem loads sit first in My Loads.
From the first load in to the last one billed.
The same board takes in new loads, plans routes, works from a phone and hands delivered loads to finance. The Active Board page shows each part in detail.
Loads in, ready to dispatch
Rate confirmations through Smart Load Import, single loads from Central Dispatch and Super Dispatch pages in Chrome, and load-alert emails in Load Opportunities. Every load waits for a person.
Route plans for the driver
Up to 20 stops from a driver's row. Optimize reorders them on a truck-aware route with National Weather Service alerts, then hand off to Google Maps or copy, text, email or print it.
Four ways to read the board
By Driver for capacity, Day Timeline for what moves when, Week Grid for the week ahead and Table View for sorting and columns.
Dispatch from a phone
On a phone the board lists drivers as cards, and each driver's page shows their days as cards you tap to filter the loads below.
A plan from TruckTA AI
When your company turns TruckTA AI on, ask for today's or tomorrow's dispatch analysis. Suggest full plan proposes pairings, and each Assign opens the normal confirmation.
Delivered, then billed
Delivered loads leave active work for the To Invoice tab, or go straight to Awaiting Payment on COD and COP terms, where finance picks them up.
