How Fort Route fits a small fleet
In a small fleet, the owner often dispatches too. You book the load and set the appointment, and the driver handles everything after that, from a low clearance on the way to a new customer to a reset that has to land before the receiver opens.
Fort Route is built for that driver. Each driver uses it on their own phone (the web app runs in Android and iPhone browsers) with their own truck profile and hours.
To be plain about the office side: there is no fleet dashboard and no dispatch integration yet. You won't see trips or hours from the office, but drivers can send you reports and documents from their phone.
What your drivers get
Their own truck profile
Each driver sets their truck's height, width, length, weight, axles and any hazmat in the Me tab, and truck-safe routing uses that profile on every route. Routes favor designated truck routes over residential streets, with up to 3 options to compare. Map data can be wrong, so drivers should always obey posted signs.
Multi-stop trips with a legal arrival time
A trip holds up to 8 stops, such as shippers, receivers and truck stops, each with up to 4 hours of on-duty time. The planner counts that time against the 14-hour window and the cycle, then places the 30-minute break, 10-hour reset and any 34-hour restart at real truck stops and rest areas. The legal arrival time includes all of it, which makes it a realistic number for an appointment.
Hours rings and reminders
The hours rings show each driver's break, drive, shift and cycle time left, from the clocks they type in. Spoken reminders come 30 and 10 minutes before a planned break, and a rest planner tracks the 10-hour break or 34-hour reset from the time the driver went off duty. Fort Route is a planning aid; the ELD record is the legal record.
Detention and documents
The detention clock starts by itself after 3 minutes parked at a stop or the destination, and the driver can send you its report with GPS times. The document scanner turns a BOL, POD, lumper receipt or rate confirmation into one PDF, shared from the phone. Shipper and receiver notes keep the truck entrance, overnight parking and past wait times for each facility.
IFTA miles by state
Each driver's app logs miles by state from GPS while navigating and reads scanned fuel receipts. At quarter end, drivers can export the IFTA worksheet as a CSV or PDF and send it to whoever files your return.
