Vendor Management lets you work inside a vendor’s account for them. A vendor is an account you send dispatches to, instead of assigning your own driver. When a vendor is slow to add a new truck or driver, you add it yourself and dispatch the same day.
A vendor can be a multi-truck hauler, a broker, or a single Owner-Operator (O&O).

Can’t find this feature?

If you don’t see a MANAGE button, the vendor isn’t set up for management yet. Email support@tread.io with the list of vendors you need to manage.
