Whether you're looking to streamline dispatch, stay informed about the weather, or simplify billing processes, this update has something special for every carrier. Unwrap the latest additions below.

Added

• Geo-Fence Based Stop Status Updates: Our system now monitors drivers' locations to automatically perform check-ins and check-outs. When trucks begin their journey, the load status updates to "In Progress" and switches to "Delivered" after the last stop. The process control settings will arrive in next month's update, allowing for further customization.

• Weather Condition Previews: Stay ahead of the elements with weather insights directly within the Loads and Maps views, empowering you to make proactive decisions.

• Equipment and Driver Auto-Linking: Seamless integration now automatically connects email and phone data to the corresponding driver profile, reducing manual entry and increasing accuracy.

• Arrival Time Tracking on Loads View: This addition aids in full loads management by displaying 'Arrived At' timestamps, providing insights into dwell time and enhancing facility turnover efficiency.

• Advanced Driver Typing Controls: Enhance security and workflow by customizing driver access and controls via Settings -> Driver Types. Tailor your driver app's functionality to suit your company's structure.

• Invoicing Pop-Up Side Bar: Introducing a faster way to handle billing through a new pop-up sidebar that streamlines invoicing, making the process quicker and more intuitive.

• Driver App Notes Feature: Encourage communication with the ability for drivers to leave notes under each load, viewable by dispatchers, fostering better coordination and record-keeping.
