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.
Fleet dispatch software for a fleet of vans, straight trucks or tractors that delivers its own goods or its customers' is the same three records as any dispatch: the run sheet built from the stops, the board that says where every vehicle is in its day, and the roster that puts the drivers on the vehicles. What changes with a fleet is the stop count: a courier fleet makes forty stops a truck, not four, so the run sheet is sized from the stop time and the drive time rather than written by hand. Runsheetly's free dispatch schedule does that arithmetic and Pro keeps the board.

Size the runs from the stop and drive times
Forty stops at 8 minutes each with 6 minutes between them is 560 minutes of run, over nine hours; the dispatch schedule shows it before the van leaves and the dispatcher splits the run or moves a stop. The federal driving limit is the ceiling the sheet checks against.
Keep the fleet on one board
Every van and driver, every run with its stops, the status as the day goes. A fleet dispatcher with twelve vans reads the board, not twelve text threads.
Roster the drivers to the vehicles
The dispatch scheduling sheet rosters the week with the days off and the spare days counted, so a sick call at five in the morning moves a name on the roster rather than rebuilding the day.
What a dispatcher asks before using the Fleet dispatch software
What is fleet dispatch software?
The run sheet, the board and the roster for a fleet that delivers with its own vehicles. Runsheetly's free sheets build the first and the third; Pro keeps all three.
Do we need route optimisation?
Not for most small fleets: the dispatcher knows the territory and the sheet shows whether the run fits. Optimisation software earns its price at hundreds of stops a day with changing territories.
Is it priced per vehicle?
No. Runsheetly Pro is one price for the whole fleet, monthly, with no per-vehicle fee and no hardware.
Will it hold your board, beyond the Fleet dispatch software?
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.
