Automatic Breadcrumb Tracking On YOUR Interval Schedule
Free GPS breadcrumb load tracking? Yes, we have that - and it is built right into AscendTracker. Would you like to pin-point the exact location of a driver by just using their cell phone's GPS? The AscendTracker feature sends them a special text message and we simply grab their location and the status of the load for you. The driver can also respond from his phone with the real-time status of the load with one press. NO APPS NEEDED - just our special text message! You can also use this feature to send any other instructions to a driver via standard text message. Yes, we know, it's pretty amazing, right? Click Here for see the Overview.
Single Driver / Load Location Pings On Demand
If you don’t want or need to get regular location tracks from the driver, you can just send one time pings on demand (or at a schedule you set). AscendTracker accommodates the needs of every load, whether it’s first mile, last mile, short haul or long haul. That means sometimes you just need a one-time ping instead of breadcrumbs every 15 minutes. IT’S YOUR CHOICE 😊.
Pre-Pickup Location Tracking
AscendTracker will tell you where a driver is BEFORE they pickup (which gives you time to recover if they aren’t going to pick up on time). It’s pretty obvious that if your driver is 150 miles away he isn’t going to make his pickup appointment in the next 30 minutes. Right! Or, a driver that’s still sitting at his last delivery appointment is going to be a no-show on your load 15 minutes from now. Right! So, use AscendTracker to be in the know before your customer finds out first – and get another truck under the load!
Instant Team Driver Verification
We’ve all booked a truck that say they have “team drivers”, but that cross country run took 7 days and not 3. Hmmmm. Suspicious. Well, with AscendTracker you’ll never get screwed again because you can send BOTH drivers on the team a location ping – and they’d BETTER be in the exact same location before they pickup your load. As Ronald Reagan said; “Trust, but Verify”. Never get fooled again with AscendTracker.
Digital POD Images The Moment The Load Delivers
Delivery POD's get texted in to AscendTracker from drivers on the road (and we even append them to the right load for you within your AscendTracker account for you). If you’re not responsible for getting POD’s in – not a biggie. But, if part of your job is getting POD’s in F A S T then this will do the trick. No other tracking service or TMS can do this. Any scanned, imported or texted document can be viewed, tagged, searched, downloaded, printed, or emailed to the right person from AscendTracker.
Live Driver Texting Communication (Back And Forth)
Sometimes you need a real back-and-forth conversation with the driver (AND get his response). AscendTracker lets you do that. You can tell a driver what dock door to go to! Ask it they’ll be late! Tell them about a traffic jam ahead! Send them an address! Heck, just can even wish them a nice “good morning” to build a positive rapport so they go the extra mile for you. And, it’s ALL recorded in AscendTracker for you. So, if the driver says they were going to do something and they didn’t – you have a record of it!
REAL Truck Miles Used for ETA Calculations and Routes
Google miles are fine when you’re going to your Aunt Milly’s birthday in Iowa – but it’s crap for true truck routing and mileage for business. If your current provider isn’t giving you TRUE truck miles and routes you are playing with fire (just ASK them what they use). AscendTracker includes real truck mileage and routes for everyone – and it’ll never cost you a single penny because WE include it. Ask what the other guys use – and RUN AWAY if they aren’t giving you REAL truck miles and routes!
Instant Live & Accurate Rate Guidance on ANY Lane From DAT RateView and InstaRate
Do you want to know current line-haul rates for any lane (including low, median, high and average RPM's)? Well, InstaRate is a free real-time rate index right at your fingertips. Simply provide InstaRate with the pickup and drop-off locations and presto, you will see live truckload rates for that lane pairing compiled from millions of real loads! And, if you’re already a DAT RateView customer we’ll feed you those real-time rates into AscendTracker, too.
