Capacity and Driver HOS
Make the best use of your capacity and your drivers' hours of service.
Identify the best driver for every load.
Identify the best driver based on real world constraints, such as their available HOS, proximity to a potential next load, and the available appointment windows. Allow planners to model a driver with a load assignment to quickly analyze if that driver is the best fit for that load.
We’re making everyone happy at all points along the supply chain: we’re getting things where they need to be on time, we’re getting people paid on time, we’re getting people home on time. Justin Robelli, Air Capitol Delivery & Warehouse Request Case Study
LoadMaster centralizes visibility from all telematics systems.
Manage your fleet communications from one or multiple ELD providers from the long list of McLeod’s Certified Integration Partners. The LoadMaster Symphony Mobile Communications product provides driver managers centralized visibility for tractor and trailer locations, arrival and departure times, load details, and messaging without exiting to ELD vendor portals.
The fact that ELD data feeds directly into the system helps us plan better. The Feasibility optimization feature in LoadMaster helps us plan more accurately, and this helps the driver...We’re planning loads more efficiently, and avoiding service failures that might occur due to issues around HOS. Decker Truck Line Request Case Study
Understand your drivers’ preferences and even give them choices when possible.
Become the preferred place to work by giving your drivers the ability to record their ideal load preferences, and the ability to offer drivers the loads that best match those preferences. McLeod’s Drivers Choice product will effectively suggest loads for drivers that best fit their preferences. If your fleet has Owner Operators, they can view and request available loads, giving them input that will ensure their success.
Our production planning is more efficient. We’ve increased asset utilization and on-time performance. We have fewer late deliveries, fewer unplanned splits, less dwell time, and less detention. Mills Carter, Greenbush Logistics Request Case Study
Plan trips with the driver’s input and insight into traffic and weather.

Trip Management gives you the tool to accurately plan and proactively update customers' pickup and delivery ETA calculations based on changes from extra dwell time or detention, traffic, and changing weather conditions that may impact their planned route.
