Read full descriptionHide full description
Vortex TMS Drivers App is the mobile companion for Vortex drivers. Sign in with your phone number, see the loads assigned to you, and keep dispatch updated from the truck. See booked, in-transit, and completed loads in one place. Each load card shows the load number, PO, broker, route, pickup and delivery dates, miles, pay, and any notes so you do not have to open Details just to check the basics. Update each stop in order: start en route, arrive on location, check in, then complete the stop. Confirm the change before it saves. Arrival, check-in, and departure times are recorded on the stop. Open a load for the full route, trailer, and stop addresses. Scan or upload paperwork from the camera or gallery, including BOLs when the office requests them. A badge on In Transit lets you know when a document is waiting. Company files, notifications, and settings stay in the app so you can stay on the load without calling in for every update.
