Who it’s for

Drivers and owner-operators (a driver who owns their truck, also called O&Os) running loads for your company or for a vendor.

Key features

  • Accept jobs and see the day’s run before leaving the yard.
  • Auto-start and auto-end on geofences (a virtual fence around a site).
  • Capture scale tickets by photo. OCR pre-fills the load fields.
  • Capture e-signatures by shift, job, or load.
  • Works offline. Uploads queue when service drops, send when it returns.

Walkthrough

1

Sign in

Download Tread from the App Store or Google Play. Sign in with the phone number on the driver’s user record. See Adding Drivers.
2

Accept the day's jobs

Assigned jobs appear in the home feed. Tap Accept on each. Declined jobs return to dispatch.
3

Start the run

Tread auto-starts when the truck enters the pickup geofence. The driver can also start manually.
4

Capture the ticket

On loaded, snap a photo of the scale ticket. OCR fills the ticket number and quantity. Confirm or edit.
5

End the load

Tread auto-ends when the truck leaves the drop-off geofence. The cycle repeats until the job ends.
6

Sign and close out

At end of shift the driver signs once. Foremen or customers can sign per job or per load. See Driver E-Signatures.

Onboard your fleet

Driver adoption is a change-management problem, not a technology problem. Plan for a four-week resistance period.
1

Train one yard at a time

Walk drivers through the app in person. Avoid email-only rollouts.
2

Stay firm on the rules

Tickets and signatures come from the app. No paper backup. Drivers push back in week one — hold the line.
3

Coach with the dashboard

The dispatcher dashboard shows missing tickets and signature gaps. Coach the bottom 20% weekly.
4

Expand at 90% adoption

Once the first crew is at 90% app-captured tickets, roll to the next yard. Customers who follow this pattern see zero churn.
