Dispatch, scheduling & load board
Plan the week, publish it, and let drivers self-serve the rest — without the phone tree.
Dispatch shouldn’t run on phone calls and memory
At most carriers, the schedule lives in one person’s head and gets communicated by text and phone call. When a run needs coverage, it’s a scramble; when the plan changes, half the drivers don’t get the update; and when that person is out, the operation slows to a crawl. Dispatch should be a shared plan everyone can see — not a bottleneck.
Plan it, publish it, let drivers grab it
Coverage without the calls
Post the runs you need covered and let drivers claim them from the load board — you just approve. Instead of working down a call list at 5 a.m., you watch open runs get picked up. And because dispatch and the driver app are the same system, a change you publish is on the driver’s phone live, with no follow-up text.
Spot Board for FedEx pickup customers
If your fleet runs spot work for FedEx pickup customers, Spot Board gives those short trailer moves a board of their own. It keeps its own records, so it never changes your linehaul schedule or trips.
- Customer profiles from your settlements — each pickup customer’s profile starts from your settlements and keeps the address, contact, notes, trailer type, drop location, and round-trip estimate in one place.
- Contracts that fill each day — set a customer’s days, spots per day, pickup times, and date range once, and each day’s spots appear on the board.
- A drag-and-drop day board — one lane per driver showing their shift, spots dragged into the run order you want, and the estimated length of each driver’s day, with a warning when it would run past the 14-hour on-duty window.
- A pre-trip check before every spot — a spot starts only once it has a driver and a recorded pre-trip check: trailer number, doors closed, fifth wheel connected.
- Every change on record — an audit log records every change with who made it, when, and the before and after, and history search finds past spots by trailer number, date, and customer.
Spot Board is an add-on at no charge — your FAST team switches it on for your company.
Super easy — getting set up was straightforward.
Dispatch and the driver app are the same system. Publish a change and it’s on the driver’s phone live — no texts, no re-sends.
