Two-step login for the office
Owners, dispatchers and accountants log in with their password, then a 6-digit code. The code is texted to your mobile number: add it under “My login” (tap your name at the bottom of the menu). With no number, the code goes to your email. A login lasts 24 hours. Drivers are not affected.

Change many invoices at once
On the Invoices list, tick the invoices (or the box at the top for all on the page), pick Sent, Paid or Void in the bar at the bottom and press Apply. Paid records full payment with today’s date and turns the loads Paid. Void puts the loads back to Delivered.

Change many loads at once
On the Loads list, tick the loads (or the box at the top to tick all on the page). A bar appears at the bottom: pick the new status and press Apply. Paid marks each load’s invoice paid in full with today’s date; Invoiced creates the invoices. Loads that can’t change are listed and left alone.

See what’s left on a load
The strip at the top of every load shows each step from rate con to paid: green is done, orange is missing now. The Loads list shows “Missing: …” under the status. The bell at the top right rings when a driver messages, updates a load, sends a BOL or POD, reports a truck problem, or when detention is about to start.
