  11. Same here. We educate drivers on the importance of hours of service compliance, especially during night shifts when it’s easier to lose track of time.
  12. Same here. We use automation for load assignments and basic customer updates, freeing up dispatchers for more urgent tasks.
  13. Same here. We also notify customers as soon as possible and offer alternative delivery solutions if it’s a time-sensitive shipment.
  14. We rotate our dispatch schedule to make sure drivers aren’t consistently working night shifts. It’s important to give them proper rest.
  15. Agreed. Customer communication can also be tough, especially when they expect instant updates in the middle of the night.
  16. Same here. We also have a rotating shift system so dispatchers and drivers are fresh and don’t get burned out during long night shifts.
  17. Omnitracs works well for us. It has a night mode that helps prioritize urgent deliveries and emergencies after hours.
  18. We use an automated system to handle common queries after-hours, but our dispatchers are on call for urgent matters.
  19. Agreed. We also limit long night shifts and encourage drivers to stop if they’re feeling fatigued. Safety over speed, always.
  20. We do the same but also keep a list of preferred repair shops along common routes for quicker service during after-hours breakdowns.
  21. Same here. We use Tailwind TMS, which has flexible reporting options and lets you track metrics that are important to your specific operations.
  22. We use Fleet Complete, and its GPS integration has been very reliable. It’s helped us optimize routes and monitor deliveries better.
  23. We’ve had success with Onfleet. The interface is simple, and the customer support team is great if you need help setting things up.
  24. We use Fleet Complete, which tracks fuel costs and ties it into the dispatching process. It’s helped us reduce overall fuel expenses.
  25. We use Omnitracs for multi-stop route optimization. It’s a bit pricier, but the efficiency gains are worth it.
