What's included

What scheduling covers

Keeping trucks moving without running drivers out of hours.

Dock appointments

Appointments booked and confirmed directly with shippers and receivers.

HOS-aware routing

Schedules built around what a driver can legally run, not just what looks good on paper.

Detention tracking

Time on-site tracked so detention pay claims have the documentation to back them up.

Rescheduling

When a delay hits, appointments get rebooked before it cascades into a missed delivery.

Multi-stop coordination

Sequencing multi-stop loads so drivers aren't backtracking or racing a clock.

Calendar visibility

A clear view of what's booked, what's pending, and what's at risk of slipping.

Common questions

Scheduling — frequently asked

How does this work with my dispatcher?
Scheduling and dispatch coordinate directly — your dispatcher books the load, scheduling locks in the appointment windows around it.
Can you help with detention pay claims?
Yes, we track dock arrival and departure times, which is the documentation most brokers require for a detention claim.
What if a shipper won't confirm a window in advance?
We stay on it and update your driver as soon as a window is confirmed, so there's no guessing en route.
Does this cover multi-stop loads?
Yes, sequencing and timing for multi-stop loads is part of the service.
