Once you've created shifts for your project, it's time to dispatch them to haulers and monitor their progress. Keep track of when your shifts have been claimed by haulers on the Trux Marketplace, track their progress when they punch in, view and download load slip images, and even reorder shifts as needed.
You can view, manage, and dispatch all of your work on the SCHEDULE screen.
View a Shift Status
View shift status on each shift's row. Possible values include:
| Shift Status | Definition |
| work that has been created but not finalized. Haulers can still be assigned, but no communication about the shift will be sent until the order is placed. | |
| work that has been created but not yet dispatched to an internal/employed hauler. | |
| work that has been posted to the Trux Marketplace and is available for verified haulers to claim. Haulers within 100 miles of the job Start OR End Locations are notified and able to claim the work. | |
| work that has been dispatched directly to a 3rd party hauler or to Favorites First but not yet accepted. The dispatched hauler(s) will be notified that they have been specifically requested for your shifts, and they will be able to Accept or Reject the request. | |
| work that has been assigned to an internal/employed hauler, claimed from the Trux Marketplace, or accepted by a 3rd party Favorite hauler. | |
| the scheduled/assigned hauler has punched-in to begin the work - they are "on the clock." | |
| the scheduled/assigned hauler has punched-out - they are "off the clock." | |
| you can cancel a shift up to 2 hours before the job start time without penalty. Learn more about the Trux cancelation policy. | |
| work that was not claimed/accepted by haulers by the expiration time. The expiration time can be the work start time or a time you designate when creating the work. | |
| when the contractor believes there is an error or the shift warrants further investigation. Some of the common reasons to dispute a shift include hauler punch-in or punch-out errors, delivered material missing or the wrong amount delivered, damaged equipment, etc. Work will also automatically be disputed if the punch-in/punch-out interval is <4 hours. |
