About

ShiftSeat

Features
Read full description

ShiftSeat connects small and mid-sized carriers with qualified commercial drivers for short-term driving engagements. When a driver goes down, a small carrier's truck sits. Larger fleets can reseat a driver the same week. ShiftSeat gives smaller operators that same ability. FOR CARRIERS Post an available truck with your lane, pay rate, and equipment details. Review applications from qualified drivers. Accept a driver or a team, sign the engagement agreement in the app, and fund the engagement before it starts. FOR DRIVERS Browse available trucks and apply to the ones that fit your qualifications and schedule. See the daily rate, the lane, the equipment, and the terms before you apply. Sign the agreement in the app. Drivers never pay a fee to use ShiftSeat. HOW ENGAGEMENTS WORK Every engagement is documented with a signed agreement recording the truck, the term, the daily rate, and the posted holdover and breakdown terms. Compensation is funded before the engagement begins and released on completion. Entry and exit inspections are recorded in the app with photos and timestamps, creating a shared condition record both parties can rely on. WHAT SHIFTSEAT DOES NOT DO ShiftSeat is not a motor carrier, a broker, or an employer. Loads are assigned by the motor carrier through its own systems. ShiftSeat provides matching, documentation, payment, and evidence infrastructure only. LIMITED BETA ShiftSeat is currently in limited beta in the United States. Access is restricted to carriers and drivers contracted with a single expedited-freight network. To be notified when access opens more broadly, visit shiftseat.ai.

TJX is the operating app of an expedite carrier: the freight board, the fleet map and the money, on the phone the work actually happens on. FOR DRIVERS • See the loads currently near your van on a live map — lane, miles, weight, equipment and the posted rate, without calling anyone. • Bid from the map in one tap. Your bid goes to dispatch, dispatch sends it to the broker, and you see what was sent. • If dispatch adjusts your price before it leaves, you see both numbers — what you asked and what went out — and the reason. • Your assigned loads, pickup and delivery status, and what you have been paid, in one place. FOR DISPATCH • Every van and every open load on one map, updated live. • The whole bid queue in front of you: hold, cancel, correct a price, or send it to the broker. • Loads, payment status and history on a single board, filterable and searchable. • Finance: revenue, dispatch share, driver share, rate per mile, and who is still owed. BUILT FOR THE ROAD Push notifications when freight appears on your lane and when a bid is answered. Location is used to rank freight by distance from your van, compute pickup ETAs, and share your position with dispatch while you are an active driver, including in the background. TJX is a tool for carriers, their drivers and their dispatchers. An account is required; contact your dispatcher if you do not have one.
