The company's dispatch software offers the ability to send and receive messages and automatic updates to and from drivers using any e-mail-capable cell phone or wireless device. Dispatchers can do load assignments with the click of a button and the software will send out a message to the driver by automatically filling in the blanks of a template with the location and pickup details pulled from the dispatch system. Drivers can send notification of each pickup and drop-off and the office dispatch software will be updated automatically.
