About

Subby App

Read full description

The Subby App is a compact app to allow any HGV or delivery driver to accept jobs from the Roadrunner Transport Management System without the contractor necessarily using the Roadrunner TMS. The app will allow you to receive jobs via email, sms or other messaging apps and supply you with the details you need to get the job done. To get started you only need to provide your name and email address. While jobs are active (not new, booked or completed) the Subby App is able to track your location while you are moving to provide real-time ETAs of shipments and evidence of delivery. This feature can be disabled within the app, however may be a contractor requirement. Privacy Policy: https://roadtech.co.uk/privacypolicy/subbyapp/
