Dispatch 000

The Dispatch program is used to create trips that represent the movement of freight and / or equipment. Dispatch generally includes interfacing with a 3rd party mileage software through the Mileage Server program and interfacing with 3rd party communications software through the Communications Manager program which provides electronic Load Offers and Manifests. Dispatch provides many features such as trip optimization, split trips and dispatch report viewing and printing. Trips can be organized into multiple legs, each leg representing a stop on the trip.

For example, on a trip with a single freight bill, the first leg of the trip is the movement of the equipment to the pickup location of the freight. The second leg is the movement of the equipment and freight to the delivery location.

Empty and Loaded miles can be calculated for all legs, thus creating automatic driver payments. Also captured is location and usage history for equipment. This information is very useful for Repairs and Maintenance of the equipment.
