• Plan Shifts with Multiple Manifests: Group multiple manifests into one shift for better organization and planning.

Key benefits include:

• Efficient Load Management: Organize multiple trips into a single, manageable set for better operational clarity.

• Scalable Brokerage: If you’re a broker, easily create and broker these sets at scale to optimize your workflow.

How it Works:

• Let’s say Manifest 16 includes Orders 5, 6, and 25. When you unmerge, the system:

  • Restores the original manifest.

  • Removes the selected order(s) and places them into their own separate manifest.

  • Automatically adjusts the original manifest to reflect the changes.

This feature ensures seamless reorganization of manifests, helping you maintain operational efficiency and adaptability.

TruckStop Truck Manual & Auto Posting

We’ve made truck posting simpler and more efficient with both manual and automated options! By connecting your TruckStop account, you can streamline capacity posting with just one click—or even no clicks at all by enabling auto posting.

How Auto Posting Works:

• When a truck is online and doesn’t have a load, it will be automatically posted and refreshed every hour.

• Once the truck is covered, the old posting will be removed, and a new posting will be created for the destination of the driver’s next manifest.

How Manual Posting Works:

• Easily post and unpost trucks as needed.

• When a truck is posted from Vektor, the system will refresh the posting every hour until it is unposted.

• If a truck is covered and assigned a new load, the old posting will be removed, allowing you to repost it for the upcoming location.

Wishing everyone a strong start of the year with tools that make your operations smoother, smarter, and more efficient! 🙌🏼✨

Trailer Continuity Enhancements

For companies managing trailer pools, where drivers often operate without dedicated trailers, efficient trailer dispatch and flow are essential. This approach ensures high trailer utilization and smooth workflows, enabling seamless movement of trailers through various operational processes. To support these needs, we’re excited to introduce our first set of improvements aimed at streamlining trailer continuity.

• Assign Trailers to Manifests Before Truck Dispatch: Plan ahead by assigning trailers to manifests early, ensuring a more organized workflow.

• Display Trailer in Manifest: Inform drivers about trailers that are linked to manifests, to streamline Drop and Hook.

• Manifest Splits Pass Trailer Information: When a manifest is split (e.g., a local driver drops a load at the yard for an OTR driver to pick up), trailer details are automatically transferred, maintaining continuity.

• Location Updates for Non-GPS Trailers: Trailers without GPS now update their location based on completed events from assigned manifest stops, enabling accurate tracking even when trailers are dropped off and not picked up.

Send Invoices from Vektor with Custom Email Sender

A long-requested feature is finally here! You can now email invoices directly from Vektor’s Billing pages and Order Details, complete with all attachments. This update includes powerful customization options to enhance your invoicing process:

• Send from Your Domain: Use your linked email sender to ensure invoices are sent directly from your domain, maintaining a professional appearance.

• Customizable Reply-To Email: Adjust the reply-to email address for better communication and faster responses.

This feature streamlines your billing workflow, making it easier than ever to manage and send invoices.

Rate Matrix Enhancements: Driver & Carrier Pay + Round Trip Calculations

The Rate Matrix has received its first major update, introducing powerful new features to simplify pay management and rate calculations:

1. Driver & Carrier Pay for Specific Lanes

You can now define pay rates for drivers and carriers on specific lanes, ensuring accurate and transparent compensation.

• Example: For a lane with a flat rate of $1000, you can allocate $250 for driver pay or $750 for carrier pay.

2. Round Trip & Multi-Stop Calculations

The Rate Matrix now simplifies handling multiple legs within a single order, ensuring accurate rate application for both flat rate and per mile calculations:

Flat Rate Calculations

When multiple legs are identified within one order, the matrix applies rates based on each segment:

• Example 1: 1 Pick in NJ → 1 Drop in PA applies the NJ→PA rate.

• Example 2: 1 Pick in PA → 1 Drop in NJ applies the PA→NJ rate.

Per Mile Calculations

For per mile rates, the matrix considers the furthest destination within the order to determine the applicable rate:

• Example: 1 Pick in NJ → 1 Pick in PA → 1 Drop in GA applies the NJ→GA rate.

These updates ensure precise rate calculations for complex orders, improving accuracy and efficiency.

Amazon Relay Chrome Extension

Simplify your operations with the Amazon Relay Chrome Extension, designed to seamlessly integrate data from Amazon Relay into Vektor TMS. Key features include:

• Effortless Data Sync: Automatically sync driver loads, pay details, and locations from Amazon Relay into Vektor.

• Automated Driver Pay Calculations: Save time by automating pay calculations and pushing them directly to settlements.

• Profitability Tracking: Gain real-time insights into profitability with synchronized data.
