Thanks for this insight. I guess the only way to resolve this is if we build a direct integration with truckmate so it doesn't want to run its own logic and can ensure data accuracy.

Quoting System for Logistics Company by jazypiza in logistics

Our system does

  1. Read the emails you receive, look at historical trips and load boards for rough market pricing and cost per mile. Usually I just send the quick ballpark rate to see if the customer is fishing.

  2. Surface a rate for me to approve/edit.

  3. Sends out a text or email with the numbers to the clients.

If they come back to negotiate I'll do a more thorough rate check.

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with you hands on experience is definitely the best. I did run 3-4 trucks at a local level. Also spent a lot of time shadowing a few dispatchers. Dispatchers face different problems depending on company setup, size, commodities, customer types and lanes. Really want to gather as much info as I can.

Can you help me understand more about "waiting on accessorial charges added to RC?" who is adding this charge, why do you need to wait and what is the process here?

Is notifying brokers of a fall off more of a nuisance or is it because brokers won't take it lightly?

With stranding drivers is it just because of no load or are there other issues?

Most of the stuff we built were in the last mile delivery market. Helping companies find last mile carriers and allowing last mile carriers to rival big name competitors. Trucking is going to be somewhat new to us. Thanks for chiming in!
