The week at a glance

The screen the app opens on — the loads, the miles, the pay, and whatever needs a look — and the ? that explains every screen.

Open LoadTally and you are on Home: This week — or This month, if that is how you pay. It is one page: the period, what needs you, five numbers, and every driver’s loads for it. Most days it is the only page you need.

Home on the week of Aug 31: the period with arrows either side and Back to this week, a yellow line for a DOT inspection overdue on truck 434 and plates due on 512, a red line for a cracked windshield and a torn mudflap still open, five tiles — paperwork waiting 2, settlements to look at 0, loads 9 with 6 done, miles 4,289, driver pay $3,156.20 — filters for driver, truck and status, and Mike Torres's four loads for the week. — The week: what’s coming due, the five numbers, then each driver’s loads with the pay beside their name.

What is on it

Which week. The arrows step back a week at a time and forward again. Wherever you land, Back to this week brings you home.
The week in five numbers. Emailed pages waiting on a tap, settlements that didn’t line up with a load, how many loads and how many are done, the miles they cover, and what the drivers are owed for them. Tap a tile and it takes you there.
Something coming due. If a truck’s oil change, DOT inspection or plates are close or past, a yellow line says so, and links to it. A problem a driver reported that isn’t fixed yet — a cracked windshield, a torn mudflap — sits on a red line until it is.
One driver, one truck. Narrow the week to a driver, a truck, or a status — done, not done, delayed, cancelled. Show everyone puts it all back.
Add a load. Today’s date and the driver’s usual truck are already filled in. Pick a driver in the filter first and the new load starts with that driver chosen.
Loads by driver. Each driver’s loads with the miles and the pay beside their name. Tap a load to open it — the stops, the math, the paperwork.

Reading a load line

Each line shows the load number, a word for where it is — Dispatched, Picked up, Delayed, Delivered, Reviewed, Cancelled — the run, the date, the miles, and what the load pays the driver. A cancelled load is struck through and doesn’t count toward the week. Status is always a word with a colour, never a colour alone.

The ? on every screen

Every screen has a ? in its top corner. Tap it and the screen explains itself, one part at a time: it lights up the part, says what it is for, and often adds a tip. Next moves on, Skip closes it. The ? wears a small dot until you have opened it once on that device.

The Loads screen with the walkthrough open: the Add a load button is outlined, and a card beside it says what it does, with Next and Skip buttons. — The ? walks the screen you are on. The words in it are the same words as these guides.

New to a screen? Tap the ? before you tap anything else. It takes a minute, and it is quicker than reading this.

On a phone

On a phone the menu moves to the bottom of the screen: Week, Loads, Settle, Pay, and More for the rest. The page itself is the same, in one column.
