Dispatch console
- Stops on each truck's run sheet
- 7
- Minutes each run takes at your stop and drive times
- 315
- Minutes left inside the driving limit (negative means the run does not fit)
- 345
Every figure here comes from the figures you enter and the method stated beside it: your trucks, your stops, your stop and drive times, your drivers and their days off. Where a sheet takes a public figure as its ceiling, the federal hours-of-service driving limit for instance, the page names the source and the date it was read.
A dispatch console is the board: every truck and driver, every load with its pickup and delivery, every stop with its window, who is assigned to what, and where each one is now. In a large carrier it is a wall of screens; in a small fleet it is the thing the whiteboard was trying to be, readable from the road. Runsheetly Pro is that console for a fleet of two to fifty trucks, and the free dispatch schedule on this site builds the run sheets that go onto it.

Put the trucks and drivers on the board
Each driver with the truck they usually take, each truck with what it can carry. The board is a list, not a map: the dispatcher needs to know which truck is empty faster than where it is on a screen.
Assign the loads and stops as runs
A run is a driver, a truck, a date, its loads and its stops in order. The dispatch schedule works the run's length and headroom before it is assigned; the board keeps it once it is.
Move the status as the day goes
Assigned, en route, delivered, exception. The driver moves it from the road and the dispatcher reads it from the office; an exception is the row the phone call is about, and it is on the board before the call.
What a dispatcher asks before using the Dispatch console
What is a dispatch console?
The board that holds every truck, driver, load, stop and run with its status. Runsheetly Pro is that board for a small fleet, at one price for the whole fleet.
Does the console track the trucks by GPS?
No. GPS tracking is telematics, priced per truck with hardware. The console tracks the run's status as the driver moves it, which is what a small fleet's dispatcher actually acts on.
Can the drivers see the console?
Yes. Every driver sees their own runs and moves their status; the dispatcher sees the whole board. Pro is priced for the fleet, not per seat.
Will it hold your board, beyond the Dispatch console?
Tell us how you dispatch today: how many trucks, how many stops a day, where the run sheets come from, and what goes wrong between the first load and the last delivery.
