Trucker Path, the most comprehensive and most used mobile app for North American truckers, announced here today at the Mid-America Trucking Show its new Trucker Path DISPATCH service for drivers. This personalized dispatch service means less office-work and more revenue hauling loads that drivers prefer.
“With Trucker Path DISPATCH we handle all the back-office work so drivers can just concentrate on driving,” said Chris Oliver, CMO at Trucker Path. “The personalized approach lets drivers determine their lane and commodity preferences, and then we find the loads they want to haul at profitable rates, eliminate forced dispatches, handle the check calls, and also help with finding parking and the best places to shut down at the end of a shift. This is in addition to our fuel optimization feature that can help drivers experience significant savings on fuel costs. It’s that simple. With Trucker Path DISPATCH drivers will experience fewer hassles, earn more money, and get paid more quickly.”
“The trucking industry has received tens of billions of venture and private equity investment in the past decade with very little supporting the individual driver” said Joe Chen, CEO at Trucker Path. “Smaller carriers and owner operators often don’t get the same competitive advantages achieved through technology that larger carriers and brokers get. Trucker Path DISPATCH is a tech-enhanced, highly-efficient, full-service dispatch service designed specifically to serve the back-office needs of the hundreds of thousands of small carriers and owner-operators who rely on the suite of driver-focused features Trucker Path provides.”
Trucker Path DISPATCH Features include:
· Load Sourcing & Negotiation—We find the profitable loads drivers want to haul by gathering their preferences and sharing them with their personal dispatcher who is armed with powerful Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and millions of datapoints.
· Truck Navigation—Drivers enjoy the quickest, safest truck-specific routes sent directly to their Trucker Path app, including pick-up and delivery locations, timing windows and special instructions.
· Status Reporting—Dispatchers handle check calls with real-time reporting to keep customers informed without interrupting the driver.
· Compliance Monitoring—Drivers make the most of their available Hours-of-Service while their personal dispatcher monitors compliance and looks ahead for a good place for them to shut down for rest periods at more than 300,000 POIs and parking locations.
· Digital Paperwork—Quickly and easily scanning trip docs and submitting them to the dispatcher speeds up the payment processing and keep everything organized in one, neat place.
“With over a million users on our app we have the unique advantage of directly contacting our drivers to ask them what they like and want,” explained Oliver. “The features in this initial launch of DISPATCH were the top selections. Just like we do with all our offerings, we will continue to ask our community of drivers and continue to build this service until it has all the features they want and need.”
To get started with Trucker Path DISPATCH, drivers simply submit their Motor Carrier Authority, Certificate of Insurance and W-9 tax forms, sign a Service Level Agreement and begin sharing their load and lane preferences with a personal dispatcher. The only cost to drivers is 5% per booked load.
