Scheduling and dispatch for company trucks, owner-operators, and subcontractors.
See company and third-party truck availability in one place. Build the day around the work and send assignments or changes to drivers in bulk.
How does scheduling and dispatch work in Tread?
Dispatchers see company trucks, owner-operators, and third-party haulers on one board, assign loads by drag and drop or in bulk, and send changes to drivers by app, text, or email. When a truck falls out at 6 a.m., you reassign that one load on the board.

Common questions
What does a third-party driver see?
Drivers receive the assignments and job details you send them. The dispatcher keeps the full view of company and third-party truck availability, assignments, and the schedule.
Do drivers need the Tread app to receive a dispatch?
No. Dispatchers can send assignments and changes by SMS, email, or mobile notification based on how each driver receives updates.
Can dispatchers work from different views?
Yes. Tread gives dispatchers multiple views to organize assignments and work through the schedule.
What happens if a truck or driver becomes unavailable after the schedule goes out?
Reassign the work from the dispatch board and send the change directly to the drivers involved.
Which systems does Tread integrate with?
Tread receives digital scale tickets from WEM, Astec, and Command Alkon. Tread syncs billing to QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop and pulls truck locations from telematics providers, including Motive and Samsara. Drivers without telematics use GPS from the Tread app.
