We have many owner-operators using this technology. State laws vary, but we have a cigarette lighter application (noted in contract, or an addendum to contract, can be turned on/off by operator, may determine how operators are paid) that many companies use for owner-operators , especially when the driver is exclusive with that company. We have a hard-wired version too, that owner-operators may prefer, if they are serious about improving efficiency.
Here are some features that your owner-operators will find useful, plus some great Dispatch features I can show you during a Live Demo.

Are you charged if a driver is late? Can you charge the client if they are not ready for the driver? How are driver's paid? Would automated state miles reports and fuel tax reporting save time? Wouldn't drivers like to save time and fuel with the software's routing capabilities? Wouldn't it be nice to ditch the paper logs and have everything, including maintenance schedules that automatically calculate mileage, in one place that can be accessed from any web-enabled computer? |
