Assign driver, truck and trailer
On the load, click Edit and pick the Driver, Truck and Trailer #. Set the status to Dispatched.
If the driver’s paperwork has expired or the truck has an out-of-service problem, MileTMS stops the dispatch. Fix it, or tick “Dispatch anyway” if you’ve checked it.

Send load info
On the load page, “Send load info to driver” has the addresses, dates and PU/DEL numbers ready. Edit if needed and click Send to driver. The rate is never included.

Broker tracking
Every load has a tracking link (load page → “Tracking for the broker”): a live page with the status, in/out times at each stop and the truck on the map. No login, no rate, no driver details; it ends 7 days after delivery. Nothing is emailed automatically: copy the link, or click “Email the link to the broker”. To also email the broker at every status change on a load, tick the box on that load.

Detention
When the driver taps “At pickup” or “At delivery”, the arrival time is saved; leaving (“In transit” or “Delivered”) saves the departure. Time over the free time (Settings, default 2 hours) shows on the load and in the broker’s emails, so detention is easy to bill.

Dispatch board
Loads → Board shows every load by status, so you see who’s loaded, empty or late at a glance.
