    We use ELDs to monitor driver hours and set automated alerts for when they’re nearing their limit. We never push drivers to exceed their hours.

    We’ve started using an AI tool that suggests optimal routes and monitors traffic in real-time. It’s been a huge help for after-hours shifts.

    We always keep a backup load available or reschedule deliveries first thing in the morning. Communication with drivers and customers is key.
  4. Jerr4
    We monitor hours of service closely and encourage drivers to take breaks when necessary. Fatigue management training also helps.

    One big challenge is finding service shops that are open 24/7 for repairs. Another is managing driver fatigue during long hauls.

    We use automated check-ins via our dispatch software. Drivers can update us with a quick message or location ping.

    We rely on Samsara for after-hours dispatching because it integrates with everything we need, including GPS and real-time alerts.

    We have a small team dedicated to customer support during after-hours. If it’s something urgent, we escalate it to management.

    Regular check-ins and GPS tracking are crucial. We also give drivers a safety checklist for night driving.

    We have a dedicated 24/7 roadside assistance service that drivers can call. It’s important to have these services on standby for emergencies.

    McLeod Software is great for generating custom reports. You can create reports based on almost any parameter, from fuel costs to delivery times.

    I’d recommend Samsara. The GPS tracking is built-in, and it’s incredibly accurate. You can track every truck in real-time.

    We use KeepTruckin. It’s easy to learn and has a clean interface, which is great for teams that aren’t very tech-oriented.

    Yes, Samsara has a fuel management feature that tracks fuel usage and optimizes routes for better fuel efficiency.

    I’d go with Route4Me. It’s excellent for dispatching complex routes with multiple stops, and the optimization features save us a lot of time.

    We started with AscendTMS. It’s one of the most affordable options and offers a free version with basic features.
  17. Jerr4
    TruckSpy has a great mobile app that syncs with their main system, and it’s perfect for dispatchers who need to be away from the desk.
  18. Jerr4
    Cloud-based is much easier to scale and offers remote access, but you’re dependent on a good internet connection.
  19. Jerr4
    We integrated KeepTruckin with our dispatch system, and it syncs really well. You just need to ensure both systems are compatible.
  20. Jerr4
    I recommend Samsara. It offers everything from real-time tracking to load management, and it’s user-friendly for smaller operations.

    Look for niche job boards that cater to specialized industries. We’ve found boards like JobsInTrucks and DAT Freight and Analytics work well for specific needs.

    We use SmartRecruiters. It has an easy-to-navigate interface for candidates, which helps improve completion rates on applications.
  23. Jerr4
    It’s been a game-changer for us. We schedule automated emails and reminders for follow-ups, which keeps candidates engaged without a lot of manual effort.
  24. Jerr4
    Indeed gives us the most volume, but niche job boards like TruckersReport give a better quality of candidates. We track the cost-per-hire to measure ROI.
  25. Jerr4
    We use Salesforce. It’s customizable and works well for keeping in touch with candidates for future openings.
