The car hauler's whole day, in one app. Loads from dispatch, bulletproof photo inspections, signed BOLs that email themselves, and your pay — without a single sheet of paper. Onulink Driver is built for auto transport, not generic trucking. Nine cars, six angles each, a customer waiting at a dealership gate — this app keeps up. RUN THE LOAD • New loads land on your phone seconds after dispatch assigns them • Tap any address and it opens in your maps app — multi-stop routes included • VINs, vehicle lists, dates, and dispatcher notes, all in one screen PROTECT YOURSELF ON EVERY CAR • Guided photo inspections at pickup and dropoff — every angle, time-stamped • Mark dings and scratches right on the vehicle diagram • Scan VIN barcodes instead of typing 17 characters in the cold • When a damage claim comes weeks later, your photos settle the argument PAPERWORK THAT DOES ITSELF • Customers sign on your screen at pickup and dropoff • A complete Bill of Lading builds itself — photos, condition marks, both signatures — and emails to the customer before you're out of the driveway KNOW WHAT YOU'RE OWED • Every settlement with a downloadable paystub PDF, the moment your office finalizes it • Log diesel in seconds: snap the receipt and the scanner reads the gallons, total, and state — your company's IFTA records build themselves YOU CONTROL YOUR LOCATION • One switch shares your position with dispatch while you work — battery-friendly, off means off Onulink Driver requires a driver login from a company on Onulink. Drive for a company that isn't on it yet? Tell your dispatcher to check out onulink.com — the whole office runs on it: dispatch, eBOLs, invoicing, payroll, and fleet.
