NOTICE: These instructions are applicable to customers utilizing the OnLoad features only.
Planning
To utilize OnLoad as a TMS and DMS system, it is important to recognize that OnLoad offers an in-house administrative dashboard and app-based solutions for both drivers and administrators.
To effectively prepare for system use, the following is suggested:
Create a list of all logistics coordinators and dispatchers within all company operations.
Create a list of all company trucks and trailers.
Create a list of all company drivers and owner-operators within all company operations.
Create a list of all customer locations that business can/or is being conducted in.
Create a list of all company customers (i.e. shippers, brokers).
Assign the users to pay rates, contact information (i.e. email, phone number), specific departments, supervisors, and user permissions.
Create applicable settings based upon company policies such as:
Real-Time Load Dispatch
Real-Time Fleet Tracking
Real-Time Load Updates
Real-Time Asset Scheduling
Rate Confirmation Visibility
Driver Settlements Visibility
Overall Visibility for Users - Administrators/Drivers
Note any necessary integrations that may be required with OnLoad (i.e. KeepTruckin’ ELD, WEX Fuel Cards).
