Experience TruckLogics’ New LTL Feature

By popular request, we’ve added LTL to TruckLogics! For just a couple dollars more per month, you can add LTL to your subscription and supercharge your account.

By adding LTL, you’ll save yourself time and experience a multitude of benefits.

Benefits of LTL

What will subscribing to the LTL Feature do for you? A whole lot!

• Instead of sending multiple dispatches for each of your LTL loads, send just one to your driver.
• Organize the trip with ease by dragging and dropping the stops into the order you prefer. 
• Use the ProMiles add-on along with LTL to create the optimal route.
• Send Check Call updates to each of the loads’ recipients, either from the full site or the free app.
• Create professional-looking invoices with just a few clicks, a separate one for each order. 

Dispatching: One Is All You Need!

When entering a new order, you’ll now be prompted to select whether the order is LTL (Less than Truckload) or FTL (Full Truckload). You’ll then enter the order details as usual, like the shipper, consignee, pick-up, and drop-off dates.

Once all of the LTL orders you’d like to include in the trip have been saved, it’s time to create a dispatch!

1. Create a new dispatch as usual, and add one of the LTL loads.

2. At the very top of the Dispatch Board, you’ll see a section: Orders to Include in the Dispatch. In this section, click Add New Order, and choose whether to add an existing order or add a quick order, which means you can quickly create a basic order form if you’re pressed for time.

3. Repeat until all LTL loads have been added to the dispatch.

Once all of the LTL orders have been added, it’s time to assign the driver & equipment to the trip, and then optimize your route.

Routing: Prioritize & Optimize

You may not have added the trip stops in order, or perhaps you’d like to add additional stops for refueling. Either way, you can always reorganize the trip from the Routing Tab of the Dispatch.

Simply drag and drop the stops into the order you prefer. Or press the orange + button to add an additional Routing Stop. 

After saving the route, your new total miles will be calculated automatically with ProMiles, and the most efficient route will be available to you from the Maps tab.

Invoicing: Effortless & Professional

Simply head back to the Summary tab of the Dispatch board, and select +Create Invoice. Then choose the invoice due date, and all of the shipper and consignee details will already be entered for you, as well as each driver and trip expense relevant to the order.

Repeat this process for each LTL on the dispatch. All in all, it should only take a few minutes, since all of the order details will already be present on the invoice.
