Operations Field Manual

First Ping to
Paid Invoice.

From initial load sourcing to final invoice submission—a disciplined, always-on workflow that keeps your trucks full, miles efficient, and margins protected at every step.

The Operations Sequence

Every load we dispatch follows a rigorous 6-step protocol designed to maximize revenue, minimize downtime, and protect you from costly surprises.

01
Market scanning and fit-first selection

Load Sourcing & Vetting

We monitor DAT, Truckstop, and direct broker channels continuously—filtering loads by your equipment type, preferred lanes, minimum RPM, and facility requirements. Only loads that clear all parameters move forward. No garbage in, no garbage out.

02
Anchored by data, closed by confidence

Rate Negotiation

We benchmark every lane using current DAT spot rates, historical RPM for that corridor, daypart, and commodity type. We don't accept the first offer—we push for the rate your truck has earned. And we document every accessorial opportunity before confirming the load.

03
Hours-of-Service, weather, and facility rhythm

Route Planning

A good load on a bad route still costs you. We map HOS compliance windows, fuel stops, rest requirements, and known appointment timing at shipper and receiver facilities—so your driver shows up on time, doesn't deadhead unnecessarily, and captures the best staging for the next load.

04
Brokers briefed, drivers supported, problems preempted

Real-Time Coordination

We don't disappear after booking. Check-calls, broker status updates, appointment confirmations, and delay communications are all handled by your dispatcher. When something goes sideways—weather, facility backup, mechanical—we're already on the phone with the broker before you have to ask.

05
Detention defense and accessorial recovery

Accessorial Documentation

Detention, TONU, layover, lumper, and scale fees are revenue you've earned—but only if they're documented and billed correctly. We track every clock-in, collect timestamps and receiver signatures, and submit accessorial claims with the evidence to get them paid. Most carriers leave thousands per month on the table here.

06
Clean paperwork, fast payment

POD Collection & Invoicing

After delivery, we collect PODs, verify against the rate confirmation, and submit invoices to brokers with clean documentation. Quick-pay options are evaluated against your cash flow needs. We chase aging invoices so you don't have to wonder when the money's coming.
