CertifiedLoads is the driver app for freight teams who need a clear record of pickup and delivery. Assigned drivers open the load on their phone, confirm pickup, keep location on while that load is active, and confirm delivery. Shippers and carriers work in the web product. This App Store app is for drivers. CertifiedLoads is built for auto transport and high-value freight. What drivers can do: - See loads assigned to them - Confirm pickup and delivery from the phone - Keep location on only while a load is active - Get alerts when a load is assigned or updated Location is used for the assigned load, not all-day tracking. It can continue with the phone locked so the trip record stays complete, and it stops when the load is delivered or cancelled.
