Operations Guide / Dispatch

Dispatch best practices for 50+ truck fleets.

At scale, dispatch stops being a scheduling board and becomes the control plane for revenue, safety, and customer service.

Large fleets need one operational record for assignment, field execution, and billing handoff.

1. Separate assignment from exception management.

Dispatchers need a clear view of current assignment, but managers need a second view of exceptions: delayed crews, missing approvals, equipment constraints, safety blocks, and billing blockers.

2. Capture changes in the operating system.

Phone calls and texts are unavoidable, but the final dispatch record should live in the same system that drives field capture and ticket validation.

At this threshold, exceptions become a management system problem, not a dispatcher memory problem.

3. Connect dispatch to billing readiness.

A completed job is not complete when the truck leaves. It is complete when the field record is validated, approved, and ready for invoice handoff. OpsFlo's value sits in that connection.
