The following new features have been added for a better customer experience:

The setting that restricts dispatchers from changing unit Assignments will now work against Local Trips as well.

Main menu > Settings > Load

When the setting is turned ON, it gives the user two options:

Select by Truck

When a user selects this option, while dispatching a load it will automatically select the Driver by entering the Vehicle. Note that the Driver field is locked upon selection of this option.

Select By Driver

When a user selects this option while dispatching a load it will automatically select the Truck by entering the Driver's name. Note that the Truck field is locked upon selection of this option.

A new feature is added that prevents users from "approving" a settlement for a particular driver. When the toggle of Freeze Pay is on for a driver, the settlement would be made but it won’t be approved.

When the toggle is on we will only have the fields of date and the reason otherwise when the toggle is off the fields will not appear.

Fleet > Drivers > Driver’s Profile

Settlements > Settlement Management > Driver

When a settlement is not approved, it won’t be synced in any of the accounting software.

Dispatch > Loads

Filters and Select View button have been added on the Loads screen very similar to how we have the filters on the Tracking screen so that way when a user saves a Load filter, they can view the filtered record of the loads.

Users can create their own views from Select View and save them.

Users can now create Recurring Deductions from drivers’ profile instead of Setup. Recurring deductions V2 are changed to grid-based.

Fleet > Drivers > Driver profile

Following new fields have been added for recurring deductions:

A new feature of Companion Pay has been added against Recurring Deductions. Recurring deductions from one Entity can be reimbursed to another Entity.

The reimbursement occurs only when the settlement against the recurring deductions has been marked as approved.

In case of Vendors, the companion pay would be reflected as an Expense. That expense would be generated in the Financial section. This expense will be synced with the accounting software if there is any.

Financial > Expenses

Pending payment will now also show up in the invoice Payment Section.

A new feature has been addedin the drop down menu of the action button labelled as “Carrier Offer” for loads under the “TENDERED” and “ALL” pills in the dispatch module. This feature is specific to brokers, If a broker wants their network of External Carriers to bid against a certain load they can send them a Rate Request through the TMS and log the offers received in the Bid history section of the load.

Multiple offers from the same carrier can be created. The latest one would be displayed on grid.

Negotiation history can also be viewed by clicking on the Offer Amount.

All the carrier offer for each external carrier will be displayed under Bid History. In order to broker out a load to a carrier, click on the dispatch icon.

Users can now send Rate Requests to the external carrier through email from within LoadStop. After clicking on Rate Request, a window pops up with the emails addresses of all the external carriers in the account. Users can then select the external carriers to send rate request from the list. A target amount has to be entered to be sent to the external carriers about how much you are willing to pay to the carrier for dispatching a load.

Users can also view the past rate requests and their details by clicking on the Request Logs.
