Tips and tricks

Save the address as a contact, pick the driver first, print the Sunday sheet, and a dozen more.

None of these are needed. All of them save a few minutes a week, and a few minutes a week is most of what the app is for.

Getting paperwork in

Save the paperwork address as a contact. Setup › Email in › Add to Contacts. After that it autocompletes from the first letter in Mail, and nobody ever types it. Give it to your drivers the same way.
Set up the forwarding rule once and the carrier’s settlement sheets file themselves every Friday. The steps for Gmail, Outlook, iCloud and Yahoo.
Ask the carrier to email settlements to the paperwork address directly. Then there is nothing to forward at all. Add their sending address under Other addresses that may send.
Put the load number in the subject when the page doesn’t show it — load 48870 — and the page lands on that load.
From a computer, drop the file straight onto the box. No clicking through folders.
The carrier’s PDF reads better than any photo of the printout. Forward the email rather than photographing the page.
Flat, all four corners, no shadow. The three things that make a photo read first time.
Forward freely. A page sent twice is caught by its bytes and not filed again.

Pick the driver in the filter first, then Add a load — it starts with that driver chosen.
Let the load chain. When a new load starts where the last one delivered, take the offer — Start from Columbus, OH — where load #48870 ended — and the empty miles between them come out right, and the last load’s trip home is cleared.
Type over the miles when the carrier’s figure differs. Yours always wins over the map’s.
Cancel, don’t remove. A load that fell through stays on the list struck through, with your note. Remove is for mistakes.
The final stop is the destination, not a stop-off, even when the carrier’s sheet types it SO. Only the stops in between pay. See Stop codes.
Forward the rate con before you say yes. The load gets a grade and a list of what the terms leave out — a TONU, a reefer-fuel line, detention after two hours. That list is what to ask the broker for. See Rate con review.
Make the weekly runs lanes. Setup › Lanes sets the miles once, so the same run never goes in at 253 one week and 255 the next.
An empty move is a load with a name. A bobtail to the shop, a run the carrier never sees — name it, and it pays its miles without waiting on a settlement.

Type the net pay exactly as printed. It is what the sheet checks the loads against. Off by exactly one load’s total? That is the one you haven’t entered.
The note on a mismatch is for what dispatch said on the phone. It shows on the list until the settlement is sorted, so the reason is there next week too.
“Did that one come in yet?” — type the load number in the box on Settlements.

Print the Payday report on Sunday. One sheet, every driver’s net. It is the paper you pay from at the bank.
Send the statement to the driver’s phone from the Driver pay statement report. Then nobody has to ask.
Say what an extra is for. “Long wait at the Nashville receiver” makes sense a year on; “bonus” doesn’t.
Paid early by mistake? Unmark paid opens the statement back up.
A raise is a new rate with a start date, never a change to the old one. Old loads keep their old pay.

Never enter card fuel under Expenses. It is already off the settlement. Only fuel from your own pocket goes there.
Type what the shop charged on the service and the bill lands in Expenses on its own. Never type a bill twice.
“Use the usual” when logging a service fills in the next-due from what most shops say.
Write down the odometer at every service. It is how the app knows the miles on the clock now.

Send the accountant a link, not a login. Get a link on any report; it opens without a sign-in and holds that day’s figures. Stop it any time under Shared links.
Switch a report to Year when the accountant wants the whole year on one sheet.
In January, send the link to last year’s Year to date. That is the 1099 page.

Add to Home Screen. An icon like any app, and on an iPhone the only way notifications get through.
Add a passkey on each phone and computer and stop typing a password.
Send a test under Notifications before you need one to arrive.
See the app as the driver from their page when they call with a question. You see exactly what they see.

Tap the ? first. Every screen explains itself, one part at a time.
“Back to this week”, “Back to this month” — wherever the arrows took you, one tap home.
Every count is a badge. The number beside Loads, Settlements and Driver pay in the menu is something to do, never a total: loads waiting on your review and emailed pages waiting on a tap, sheets that need a look, statements not yet paid. The Inbox is the record, so it has none.
Every remove asks first, right where you tapped. Nothing vanishes on one tap.
