Dispatching a site-for-the-day without the phone calls

How open-ended jobs, contracts and loops work

Most cartage dispatch isn't a neat one-job-one-invoice affair. It's "go to the quarry and run loads to Site A all day," or "A to B to C, repeat." The trouble is that a lot of software wants an exact quantity up front — so you end up on the phone all day adjusting it.

Open-ended jobs

Send a driver to a site for the day with no preset load count. They open the job, add loads as they go, and close it out when they're done. The quantity is whatever they actually carted — not a guess you typed at 7am.

Contracts: the repeat button

Most weeks you're dispatching the same runs to the same clients at the same rates. Save them as contracts — a filled-out job template — and dispatch one in a tap, with the rate, route and capture settings already in place.

Loops for multi-leg runs

When a truck runs A to B to C and back, that's a loop: one container holding each leg as its own job, assigned to one driver. Each leg can have a different client and bills separately — but you dispatch the whole circuit at once, and the driver sees the day laid out in order.

And the driver always knows where to go

Pin "Stockpile 5" on the map once, and every driver sent there gets a one-tap navigation to the exact coordinate — no street address required.
