You can run dispatch on a spreadsheet and a phone, or on a heavy generic TMS. Here is how SortHaul is different: it automates the busywork and fits the way carriers actually work.
| What you need | Spreadsheet and phone | Generic TMS | SortHaul |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rate cons become loads | Typed in by hand | Often manual entry | Read and built automatically |
| Driver updates | Calls and texts | Varies, often extra setup | Driver app by text link |
| Shipper tracking | You field check calls | Sometimes | Live link, self-serve |
| Invoicing | Built by hand, often late | Add-on or manual | Auto on dispatch and delivery |
| Routes and tolls | Look it up elsewhere | Sometimes, often paid | Built in per load |
| Broker safety checks | Separate website | Rarely | In the platform |
| One clear view of the operation | Scattered | Heavy and complex | Analytics in one place |
| Setup | Free but it is all on you | Long, costly rollouts | A few business days |
| Works with your current system | It is your system | Usually replaces it | Connects, nothing to rip out |
It is free and flexible, and plenty of carriers start there. The trouble comes with growth: every new truck adds manual work, and things slip through the cracks because it all lives in one person's head.
Big platforms can do a lot, but they often mean long rollouts, steep learning curves, and paying for modules you do not use. The automation that matters day to day is not always there.
It automates the repetitive parts of dispatch, connects to the system you already use, and gets you running in days. The result is a small team moving more freight with less admin.
