Add a Favorite

Favorites are haulers with whom you may have a previous working relationship (e.g., they have hauled for you) but whom you do not employ (they are independent, third-party haulers). You can add haulers to your Favorites list in order to dispatch work to them directly from the DISPATCH screen.

Unlike Regulars (see next section), Favorites do not give up control of what jobs they can see and accept on the Trux Marketplace. Haulers can be a favorite for multiple different companies. Follow the steps below to add a hauler to your Favorites list.

1. Click FLEET on the left navigation menu.
2. Click the Drivers tab.
3. Click the drop-down list and select Favorites.
4. Type the name of the hauler whom you would like to favorite and select the hauler. The selected hauler will appear among your list of Favorites.

Add a Regular

Regulars are third-party haulers with whom you have a strong working relationship. If a hauler agrees to become a Regular for you, you will have full control over which jobs the hauler sees and can accept in Trux.

Your Regulars list should be reserved for haulers to whom you push jobs on a daily (or at least a very consistent basis). These are haulers that you expect to keep busy with regular work. Follow the steps below to add a hauler to your Regulars list.

1. Click FLEET on the left navigation menu.
2. Click the Drivers tab.
3. Click the drop-down list and select Regulars.
4. Click + INVITE DRIVER, enter the hauler's Name and Phone Number, and click SEND INVITATION.
5. The hauler will receive a text message with a link to accept your invitation to become a Regular. If they accept, they will be added to your Regulars list. You can see all of your pending requests by clicking Requests Pending.

Add a Company Dedicated hauler

Company Dedicated haulers are those who work for you - you pay them directly, and they may drive trucks that you own and manage. Follow the steps below to add a hauler to your Company Dedicated list.

1. Click FLEET on the left navigation menu.
2. Click the Drivers tab.
3. Click the drop-down list and select Company Dedicated.
4. Click + INVITE DRIVER, enter the hauler's Name and Phone Number, and click SEND INVITATION.

Your driver will receive a text message with a link to download the Trux Drive app from the App Store.

Your driver will appear in your Company Dedicated list, and you will be able to start assigning work to them once they download the app and create an account.

Create A Group

You can assign haulers to custom groups to make it easier to dispatch them. For example, you could assign haulers to a group based on their location, material, truck type, etc. Any designation you wish. Once assigned, you can select the group on the DISPATCH screen to easily dispatch haulers. NOTE: A hauler can be a part of multiple groups. Follow the steps below to create a group and assign haulers to it.

1. Click FLEET on the left navigation menu.
2. Click the Groups tab.
3. Click + CREATE GROUP, enter a name for your group, and click CREATE.
