Ensuring the safety and maintenance of drivers and equipment on your fleet is critical for any operation. This month, we’re looking at a couple of ways you can be warned or prevented from dispatching resources when safety qualifications are out of date. Safety first!

Verify Carrier & Owner Operator Safety Status
From the Main Menu, select Admin > Preferences > Dispatch. Set the Qualify Carriers setting to either Warning Only, or Prevent. You can apply the same setting to Vendor Driver types by marking the check box right below it.
As soon as the Vendor is assigned to a load, you’ll receive a message if they are expired on one or more safety qualifications.
Service is Due for a Tractor or Trailer
You can get a warning and avoid assigning a unit to a load if it’s due for one or more services. From the Main Menu, select Admin > Preferences > Dispatch. Set the Due For Scheduled Maintenance setting.
As soon as the unit is assigned to a load, you’ll receive a message if it’s coming due or expired on one or more services.
Prevent Dispatch for Any Reason
It can also be used as a stop gap while you are closing out a driver and equipment that is leaving the fleet.
