Dispatch preferences in Datatruck allow you to define specific requirements or limitations for each driver. This ensures that dispatchers can assign loads based on a driver’s preferred working conditions, making trip planning smoother and more efficient.

What Are Dispatch Preferences?

Dispatch preferences are customizable settings you can add to a driver’s profile. For example, you can specify if a driver:

• Wants to drive only in one state

• Prefers shorter runs

• Runs exclusively in Arizona

• Accepts freight with specific weight limits (e.g., 3,000 lbs)

By setting these preferences, dispatchers can better match loads to drivers.

How to Add Dispatch Preferences

Follow these steps to set up dispatch preferences for a driver:

1. Go to HR Management.

2. Open the Driver’s Profile.
   
   
    

3. Scroll down to the Dispatch Preferences section.

4. Add the driver’s specific preferences.

5. Click Save.
   
   
    

Once saved, these preferences will be available for dispatchers to reference when assigning loads.
