Truck Tools has upgraded its Mobile Driver App, introducing a new Smart Capacity feature for truck drivers and small fleets to help with finding new loads.
The Smart Capacity features for truckers and small fleets proactively searches for new loads while en route to a drop off, taking into account proximity to a driver’s delivery designation. The driver can then view multiple loads from various brokers, ranked with the best options on top to help a driver select a load best suited to the current location and preferred future route.
The app incorporates driver-selected lane, broker and load preferences, as well as specific business rules and algorithms to locate, present and rank optimum premium available loads. The application also has a “quick match” feature which pushes to the driver nearby “last-minute” loads available within 24 hours.
Small fleet dispatchers can use the tools as well, selecting and matching optimal loads for their drivers in multiple trucks. The entire workflow and communication process is conducted over Trucker Tools’ confidential, private network and via the smartphone based mobile driver app.
The mobile app has also been upgraded with other new features including, improved route planning and fuel optimization; a truck stop, rest area, and service locator; GPS load tracking; and document scanning.
“The old ways of truckers calling brokers for loads or scrolling through stale, obsolete data on load boards or spreadsheets are gone,” said Prasad Gollapalli, founder and CEO of Trucker Tools. “We are bringing the power, convenience, accuracy and efficiency of predictive, digital load-matching to the fingertips of drivers and small fleet dispatchers.”
