Module 03 · Driver app

The app your drivers will actually use.

Status in one tap. Paperwork photographed at the dock. Nothing anyone needs a training class for.

The problem

Driver apps fail for one reason. Drivers don't open them.

You rolled one out last year. Two drivers used it for a month. Everyone else kept calling.

If it takes six taps to say "I'm loaded," he'll call instead. If there's nothing in it for him, he'll forget it's there.

And you're back to check calls, a glovebox full of paperwork, and requests nobody wrote down.

Adoption

What's in it for driver.

Fewer calls interrupting his drive. No folder of paperwork to hand in at the end of the week. A defect he reports becomes a work order instead of a conversation. Time off asked for once, in writing — not "I told somebody last week."

He's not doing your admin. He's doing less of his own.

A driver smiling at his phone, saying “I have all my load info”: no calls today, time off approved No calls today Time off approved I have all my load info
01 · Sending the trip

The trip reaches him in one click.

The load is already in your system — stops, addresses, appointment times, the notes you took on the phone. One click and it's on his phone exactly as you built it. Nobody retypes an address into a text message, and nobody calls back to ask which door.

Entered once, in your TMS. Never typed again for the driver.

02 · Status

One tap, and your board changes.

Arrived. Loaded. Empty. That's the whole interaction. Dispatch sees it immediately — no call, no text, no "can you update the sheet."

And on the days he forgets, the geofence logs it for him.

03 · Paperwork

Paperwork, photographed at the dock.

He signs it, he shoots it, it's attached to the load. Your office has the BOL before the truck leaves the yard — not on Friday, not in a glovebox.

04 · Time off

Time off, asked for in writing.

He picks the days and sends it. No “I told somebody last week” — the request is in writing, dispatch sees it against the board before it’s a problem, and the answer comes back in the app.

Asked once, answered once, with a date on it.

05 · Messages

Messages, where the work is.

No group texts, no personal numbers, no hunting for which thread it was in. Dispatch talks to him where the rest of his work already sits — and the thread stays with the load after the shift changes.

06 · Settlements

He can see what he got paid.

The statement your office already ran, on his phone — the loads on it, the deductions against it, and the net. Every past settlement stays there, so “what was I paid for that Memphis run” is something he can answer himself.

One less call to the office on Friday afternoon.

Why it's better here

Your driver isn't using an app. He's using your TMS.

Most driver apps are a separate product that syncs back to the office — which is why things go missing between them, and why the answer to "did he send it?" is so often "let me check."

Here there's no gap to fall through. When he taps loaded, the board changes, the customer's ETA moves, and the load moves a step closer to being invoiced. When he shoots a BOL, it's on the invoice. When he flags a defect, the shop has a work order.

One tap, doing four jobs, because it's all one system.

And the app only shows what your company actually uses. No tabs for modules you don't run.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before rolling it out

Some won't, and the board stays right anyway. Hours and location come from the ELD, and arrivals and departures are caught by geofence whether he opens the app or not. His taps make it sharper; they aren't what holds it together.

Minutes, and no training class. He installs it, signs in, and sees the load he's on with one obvious action on it. If a driver needs a lesson to say "loaded," the app is wrong.

Yes. When a settlement is posted, it shows up in the app — the loads on the statement, the deductions against it, and the net — along with every settlement before it. It's the same statement your office ran, not a second copy of it.

Nothing per driver — the app is in every plan, and pricing is per truck. See pricing.

No. It runs on the phone he already has, which is part of why it gets used. Nothing to hand out, nothing to collect back when he leaves.

Put it in a driver's hands.

We'll show you the whole app in 15 minutes — then set one of your drivers up on a real load and let him prove it himself.
