TruckLogics Order & Dispatch Features: Which Should You Use?

• You want to enter order details in advance, before the order is ready to be dispatched (sent to a driver).
• You want to quote a client. By entering the customer’s information, the pick up & drop off locations, and the order charges, you can estimate and adjust the cost of the trip and send to clients for approval. Since the order hasn’t been dispatched, you can keep editing the order information until you and the client agree on the terms. 

Dispatch: Assigning the order (load) to a driver, truck & trailer. 

As mentioned above, you can quickly dispatch existing orders by choosing your driver and equipment from your Address Book & Truck Zone.

-OR- you can use the Dispatch feature as a shorter way to create an order. Since all of the order information fields are on the same screen, this is the fastest, simplest way to input your load information.

This feature is best to use when:

• You need to create an order that is ready to be assigned to a driver.
• If you need to enter load information, but you don’t want to notify the driver or don’t know who the driver will be yet, use the Order feature to store the load details & charges. Dispatch it later when you’re ready.
