Tracking Methods

1. Collaborator Emails for Automated Updates

  • Navigate to Dispatch > Load Details.

  • Enter one or multiple email addresses into the Collaborator Email field (separate multiple addresses with commas).

  • Recipients will automatically receive tracking updates as the driver interacts with the load.

2. Manual Sharing via Load URL

  • Under Activities in a load, locate the three-dot menu.

  • Click to copy the unique URL for the load.
  • Paste this link into an email to share real-time tracking for that specific load.

3. Automated Load Status Updates

Automated load status in Truckpedia TMS sends real-time updates to a designated email whenever a driver updates the load status, keeping customers informed without manual effort.

  • Go to the Customer File in Truckpedia TMS.

  • Configure an email address to automatically receive load status updates whenever a driver interacts with the load.
    • Use this for direct customers who require consistent updates to the same email.

  • Click Save

4. Tracking via Website
