The Tread Driver App puts a Driver’s dispatches, tickets, and signatures on one phone. Dispatchers see progress in real time instead of calling for updates.

​
Who it’s for

Drivers — the users who receive a dispatch and perform it. That includes your own Internal Drivers, Shared Drivers (Drivers another account shares to you), and Owner-Operators (O&O — a Vendor with a single Driver, dispatched directly as a Shared Driver).

​
Key features

  • Accept jobs and see the full day’s assignments before the first run.
  • 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 as required.
  • Works offline. Uploads queue when service drops and 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 Assigned menu. Tap View Request → Accept on each. Declined jobs return to dispatch.
3

Start the run

When Telematics integrations enabled, Tread auto-starts when the truck enters the pickup geofence. The driver can also press Start to start their jobs.
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

When the job has a set load count or quantity, Tread auto-ends it when the truck leaves the drop-off geofence. The driver can also press Stop Job.
6

Sign and close out

At end of shift the driver can sign a load. 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. Train in person and track adoption in Tread.
1

Train one crew at a time

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

Keep tickets and signatures in the app

Tickets and signatures come from the app. No paper backup.
3

Coach weekly

Review missing tickets and signature gaps in Tread each week. Coach the drivers who lag.
4

Expand at 90% adoption

Once the first crew captures 90% of its tickets in the app, roll out to the next.
