Brokerages coordinating dedicated capacity
A brokerage coordinating known drivers and vehicles needs to make each resource commitment visible. Freight Brokerage Platform links load assignments to the driver and vehicle over a start and end interval. The Dispatcher reads eligibility and readiness with that commitment before movement is released, while the supervisor reviews exceptions that need authorization.
How Freight Brokerage Platform is set up for you
Driver evidence
Keep the driver's active state and eligibility expiry available during assignment review. Use the external authority reference when the supporting information needs confirmation.
Vehicle readiness
Read the equipment class and readiness alongside relevant defect severity and repair evidence. Resolve uncertainty before selecting the vehicle for dispatch.
Committed intervals
Compare the proposed driver and vehicle interval with other assignments. A workable stop plan still needs an available resource for the intended movement period.
A brokerage coordinating known drivers and vehicles needs to make each resource commitment visible. Freight Brokerage Platform links load assignments to the driver and vehicle over a start and end interval. The Dispatcher reads eligibility and readiness with that commitment before movement is released, while the supervisor reviews exceptions that need authorization.
Choose a recurring warehouse-to-cross-dock movement using a familiar driver and vehicle. Prepare the stop windows and promised delivery, then record the committed assignment interval. Agree how dates, time zones and interval boundaries are entered before using the schedule across shifts.
Rehearse an overlapping assignment for the same driver and a vehicle whose readiness changes to Maintenance. The Dispatcher should identify each issue before confirming the plan or releasing movement. The Transport Supervisor should be able to inspect the evidence explaining a resource change without relying on a verbal handover.
Complete the pilot with actual pickup and delivery observations and their supporting receipts. Include a late delivery so the team practices comparing the outcome with the original promise. Follow [load and assignment preparation](/freight-brokerage-platform/processes/load-and-assignment-preparation) and the final dispatch checks before increasing the number of movements coordinated through the same procedure.
