Read full description

Phloem currently offers the following features: • By selecting the mills that you deliver wood to, you are able to see the current turnaround times for trucks at the mills selected. • Drivers can add or remove mills under the setting feature. • Before the driver heads to the mill, he/she selects "Head to this mill." • If the driver is held outside the scale house, the app automatically detects this and will ask you if you are waiting in line. If you select yes, turnaround time will start at this point. • If problems are encountered at mill with truck unloading, the driver can send a push notification to all drivers with that mill selected by selecting "Notify Drivers" and then selecting the issue from the drop down menu. Only one notification can be active at any time. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
