Computers Dispatch Systems office / trucks

[John Rideout]

As a newbie I would like to know what is the best system to use in each unit to dispatch trucks for expedite. I do not want to use (or only use...) phones. I am looking for something that can be placed on dash in each unit and dispatchers within the office can just dispatch from the office to whatever truck they are sending the info to. That said, I also want a system that the driver can be tracked (GPS) and can sign in to confirm pick up and time recorded and delivered time recorded. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks

You're describing the Qualcomm Omnitracs System perfectly.

Macro Point is what we use at CRE....works for the fraction of the cost of the above named system

It also uses cell phones for the tracking, which he specifically requested as something he did not want to do.

well there is what you want and what one can afford....an upstart might have a problem with the hefty price tag of Qualcomm.....just tossed out an option or Plan B..

I understand. I simply answered the question within the parameters in which he specified.

How about the system that Nations Express used? Anybody remember the name?

I think it was called Highway Master. We had that when I first started with LEA about 14 yrs ago, we gave it the name Highway Disaster such is why it's a piece of junk.

To which I expanded those parameters that he did not specify...

Con-Way Now had Highway Master in their company vans when they started up. Very basic and crude. If Highway Master is still available it my be a good tool for the original poster.

I use teletrac everything you described. about $50 per month free install. send msgs back and forth tracks driver location updates every few minutes and tied into ecm for engine diagnostics. 6 months tracking data also if putting in regulated unit does log books for them.
