Dispatch board

Every driver’s week at a glance. Drag loads onto drivers to dispatch them.

Reading the board

Each row is a driver, with their default truck (or "No truck"; "in shop" when it’s in the shop). Each column is a day, Monday to Sunday, with today highlighted. A load shows as a block from its pickup day to its delivery day.

The colors show the status: Dispatched, In transit and Delivered. "Not accepted yet" means an owner-operator hasn’t accepted the offer. Team and relay loads are marked, and "2nd driver" shows on the second driver’s row. "Free all week" means the driver has nothing that week.

Use "‹ Prev", "This week" and "Next ›" to move between weeks. Click a block to open the load panel. See /help/loads.

Drag and drop to dispatch

"Needs a driver" at the top lists booked loads with no driver, soonest pickup first.

  • Drag a load card onto a driver’s row, or
  • tap a load card, then click "Assign here" on the driver’s row (handy on a phone or tablet).

Tovarlo assigns the driver, picks their default truck and a free trailer of the right type, and sends the load to the driver app. Company drivers get it assigned; owner-operators get an offer to accept or reject (on the Solo plan there is no offer step). If the driver has no truck, pick one in the load panel to send it.

You need the "Dispatch and assign loads" permission to assign loads. Without it you can view the board.

Double-booking warning

If the driver already has a load on the same days, Tovarlo stops and shows "… is already booked", with both loads and their dates. Click "Pick someone else" to go back, or "Assign anyway" if the loads really fit.

Loads at risk

Below the board, "Loads at risk" lists loads that need you, each with why and a link to the load:

  • no driver or truck 24 hours before pickup;
  • booked but not sent to the driver, or sent and not accepted, 12 hours before pickup;
  • an owner-operator's offer unanswered after 2 hours;
  • no "arrived" tap after a stop's appointment (times in the stop's time zone);
  • delivered with no POD after 24 hours;
  • delivered and not invoiced after 2 days (only for people who handle invoices).

"Dismiss" hides a flag (it's noted on the load) until the situation changes, for example a new pickup time. The dashboard shows how many loads are at risk. The sample load is never flagged, and nothing changes or is sent on its own.
