Flow Tracking

Flow Tracking gives freight drivers an easy alternative for transit updates, one-tap location sharing for a load — no account, no passwords, no setup. Your dispatcher sends you a tracking link. Tap it, allow location once, and Flow shares your position with them for that load. You can lock your phone and drive normally — tracking keeps running in the background and stops automatically when the load is delivered. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Start live tracking in one tap from your dispatcher's link — no login • Update your contact instantly at each step: Arrived at Pickup, Loaded, Arrived at Delivery, Delivered • Send paperwork right from your phone — snap a photo of your POD, lumper receipt, scale ticket, or BOL • Sign the rate confirmation for the load without leaving the app • See your load's pickup and delivery on a clean route card
