STATUS is the real trip. BOARD flags are cover language. POST RATE starts at 80% of SS RATE. Profit uses billing minus cost. Map opens CheckPoint when that load was sent.

3 · Assign & Hot Board cover
Asset assign on Fast Dispatch or margin cover on Brokerage Hot Board with 1-click rate con to outside carriers.
4 · Telemetry milestones

Tender & rate lock
Dispatch accepts shipper tender into a draft load with stops, references, and customer-specific free time. Rate con versions track dispatch edits automatically.

What dispatch does on the first screen
Scheduling
Plan the day from truck availability: available, unavailable, or on delivery.
Assignment
Confirm the dispatch. Place new orders. See equipment, carrier, and driver options, including call-ins.
Check calls
Automatic check-call notifications. Arrive and depart in a few clicks. Next driver activity stays at the top of the sort.
One-click invoice
When the load is done, generate the invoice without rebuilding the file.
High-speed dispatch modules that scale with operations
Driver Dashboard
Real-time visibility into driver turn-time, active duty status, equipment assigned, and next scheduled activity at the top of the board.
CrossDock Floor Management
Manage dock doors, stage inbound freight, monitor dwell-time aging, and coordinate cross-dock reloads for 3PL and LTL terminals.
City Dispatch & Cartage
Sequenced multi-stop metro delivery routes, local cartage manifests, and zone-based P&D dispatching.
Office Transfer & Branch Security
Hand off freight seamlessly between regional terminal offices without rekeying shipments, maintaining separate branch P&L and restricting staff to permitted offices.
FTL, LTL, and Dock Operations on One System
Whether running point-to-point truckload, multi-stop LTL with separate customer paperwork, or cross-dock transfer hubs, dispatchers work from a unified record. Integrated PC*Miler and Google distance calculations ensure accurate routing and fuel estimates on every leg.
Dispatchers benefit from rapid sorting and filtering features that prioritize the next driver’s activity directly at the top of the operational board.
Frequently Asked Questions: Truck Dispatch Software
What is mobile dispatch software for trucking?
Mobile dispatch software connects dispatchers with drivers and outside carriers in real time. It enables sub-second trip assignment, electronic load tenders, live GPS check calls, in-cab messaging, and instant POD uploads.
What is the difference between Fast Dispatch and the Brokerage Board?
Fast Dispatch is the core operational trip list for tracking company equipment, drivers, pickup/delivery dates, and check calls. The Brokerage Board (Hot Board) is a dense margin-focused grid built for selling non-asset loads to outside carriers.
Can dispatchers verify driver Hours of Service (HOS) before assigning loads?
How does EXSPEEDITE handle multi-leg relay trips and drop-and-hook operations?
EXSPEEDITE natively supports multi-leg trip splits, cross-dock floor transfers, and drop-and-hook relays without creating orphaned shipments or scrambling driver settlements. Dispatchers can split legs between regional relay drivers, local cartage, and linehaul power units in a single click.
Out-of-Route Mileage & Live HOS Compliance Tools
Protect fleet margins by auditing circuitous driver miles and pre-validating 11-hour driving and 14-hour on-duty clocks prior to dispatch assignment.
