Tools built for the demands of rough terrain hauling

Log hauling is rarely straightforward. Drivers face rough forest roads, unpredictable weather, and long mill wait times that can throw off schedules. Dispatchers juggle multiple pickup sites and mills, and every load must be tracked carefully to avoid delays or disputes.

Dump Truck Dispatcher gives logging fleets the tools to manage these challenges in one system. From dispatching and digital ticketing to job tracking and invoicing, your team gains clear visibility that keeps timber moving from the forest to the mill without unnecessary setbacks.

Key Features That Support Log Hauling Operations

Smarter dispatch for timber loads

Logging trucking companies often manage several pickup sites and mills at the same time. Using spreadsheets or phone calls makes it easy for drivers to miss instructions or arrive at the wrong location.

With our logging dispatch software, dispatchers can assign jobs, monitor schedules, and adjust instantly. This keeps log hauling operations organized and helps get timber from the forest to the mill on time.

Digital tickets for cleaner records

In log hauling, paper slips are easily damaged by weather or lost during transport. This causes billing disputes and slows down payments.

Drivers can upload digital tickets through the app with customer information, load weights, and delivery details. These records give you faster billing and reliable documentation that mills and clients can trust.

Real-time job tracking

Delays in log hauling often come from weather, rough forest roads, or long mill wait times. Without visibility, dispatchers only learn about issues after schedules are already impacted.

Our live dashboard shows which jobs are complete, which trucks are active, and where loads are in transit. This gives logging companies the ability to act quickly and keep operations moving smoothly.

Maintenance tracking for logging fleets

Forest roads and heavy loads put trucks and trailers under constant strain. Missed maintenance leads to costly breakdowns and downtime.

Our dump truck system helps you stay ahead with scheduled service reminders, repair history tracking, and certification alerts. This gives log hauling fleets more reliability and keeps trucks ready for demanding jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dispatchers can assign jobs directly in the software, and drivers receive all instructions on their mobile app. This removes the need for phone calls and ensures jobs are scheduled and updated in real time.

Yes. Drivers can create and complete digital tickets with weight, pickup location, and delivery details. This helps reduce paperwork errors and speeds up reporting once the logs reach the mill.

The dashboard gives dispatchers visibility of all active and completed jobs, so they can track trucks, monitor progress, and quickly reassign drivers to new loads when available.

Job details, mill locations, and route notes are sent straight to the driver’s app. If dispatch makes a change, the driver sees it instantly, helping prevent costly mistakes or misdirected loads.

Completed digital tickets flow into invoices without retyping, making it faster to bill clients or mills. This ensures accurate settlements and shortens payment cycles.

It depends. While it can help any size fleet streamline their processes, the software is designed for mid-sized to larger fleets. The larger the fleet, the more benefits you will see. If you don’t dispatch at least 10 trucks, this software isn’t for you unless you are growing quickly.

Yes. Many logging companies rely on subcontractors during peak demand or when covering multiple pickup sites and mills. With our Lease Hauler Portal, subcontractors can update their own truck, driver, and compliance details, while dispatchers still keep control of job assignments and load tracking. Every digital ticket is tied to the correct hauler, making billing faster and more accurate without the extra paperwork.
