​
Who it’s for

Foremen and supervisors running a jobsite. They create orders, dispatch trucks, and approve loads without going back to the office.

​
Key features

  • Create an order from the jobsite when the plan changes.
  • Dispatch internal drivers and connected vendors (a hauler your company shares jobs with) from one screen.
  • Approve loads, jobs, and shifts as work happens.
  • See the live map of trucks heading to and from the site.
  • Capture jobsite signatures and ticket photos when the driver can’t.

​
Walkthrough

1

Sign in as a foreman

Foremen use the same Tread app as drivers, with a foreman role on their user record. See Adding Users.
2

Create an order on site

Tap New Order. Pick the project, material, pickup site, and drop-off site. Set truck count and start time. Save.
3

Dispatch trucks

Pick drivers from your fleet or from connected vendors. Send. Drivers get a push notification.
4

Watch the live map

The map shows every truck running the order. Tap a truck for current load and ticket status.
5

Approve as work happens

Approve loads, jobs, or the full shift from Approvals. See Timesheet Approvals.
6

Sign for the customer

Capture a jobsite signature per load or once per shift. See Driver E-Signatures.

​
Onboard your fleet

Foremen adopt faster than drivers — they already keep mental tabs on the work. The bottleneck is trust. Once they see the live map match the trucks pulling up, they stop calling dispatch.
1

Pair with dispatch for a week

Dispatch creates orders; the foreman watches the same data update on the phone. After a week, swap roles.
2

Approve daily, not weekly

Push foremen to approve loads end-of-shift. This shrinks the billing cycle from weeks to days.
3

Expect a four-week change period

Crews push back for the first month. Stay firm on app-only tickets. Zero churn follows this pattern.
4

Roll to the next jobsite

Once one foreman is approving end-of-shift, expand. See Foreman in the Field.
