Stay Connected and Efficient Anywhere with Datatruck’s Mobile App Upgrades

Your drivers are on the road. Your dispatchers are juggling ten things at once. And somewhere between the two, critical information gets lost, delayed, or entered twice.


Datatruck's latest mobile app updates solve that problem.


What's New in the DT Driver App


The DT Driver App now gives drivers everything they need without calling dispatch:


View truck and trailer documents instantly. No more waiting for office staff to email PDFs or dig through filing cabinets.


Request reimbursements on the spot. Snap a photo of the receipt, submit it, and move on. No paperwork pile-up at the end of the week.


Complete inspections faster. Digital checklists mean fewer missed items and instant submission to dispatch.


Check payroll stats with one tap. Drivers see their earnings, settlements, and deductions in real time. No mystery paychecks.


Upload photos directly to loads or charges. Proof of delivery, damage reports, or fuel receipts attach right where they belong in the system.


These updates mean drivers spend less time on admin work and more time moving freight.


Simplified Login for DT Express


Your back-office team uses DT Express to manage dispatch, loads, and operations. The login process just got easier.


No more entering company names. Staff can now log in with just their email and password. One less step, one less thing to remember.


Plus, additional dashboards are now optimized for mobile viewing. Dispatchers and managers can check key metrics and performance data from their phones without squinting at tiny text or zooming in constantly.


Why Mobile Efficiency Matters Right Now


Every carrier knows: delays cost money.


When a driver has to call dispatch to get trailer documents, that's 10 minutes wasted. When office staff manually enter reimbursement requests from crumpled receipts, that's error-prone busywork. When payroll questions create tension because drivers can't see their own data, that's a retention problem.


Mobile access fixes all three.


Faster Turnarounds


Drivers handle tasks immediately. No back-and-forth calls. No waiting on office hours. Automation in trucking means work moves forward the moment it needs to happen.


Fewer Errors


Photos upload directly to the right load. Documents are captured digitally. Inspection data flows straight into the system. No lost paperwork. No re-keying data.


This level of accuracy matters when you're dealing with billing, factoring, and compliance deadlines.


Better Driver Experience


Drivers want transparency. They want to know what they're earning, see their documents, and submit requests without jumping through hoops.


When your carrier-first TMS puts tools in their hands, it shows you respect their time. That improves morale and reduces driver turnover.


Real-Time Coordination


Dispatchers see uploaded photos and inspection results as they happen. Managers check dashboards from anywhere. Everyone operates from the same live data.


No lag. No confusion. No double-checking.


How This Fits Into Carrier Operations


These mobile improvements don't exist in isolation. They're part of Datatruck's AI-native platform that connects every piece of your operation:


  • TruckGPT handles document processing so rate confirmations and BOLs are digitized instantly

  • AI Dispatcher searches load boards and books freight while your team focuses on higher-value work

  • AI Updater manages broker and driver communications automatically

  • Mobile apps give drivers and staff instant access to everything they need


It all works together. And because Datatruck is built by carriers for carriers, every feature solves a real pain point.


Not theoretical problems. Real bottlenecks that slow down your day.


What Happens When You Don't Upgrade


Driver shortages aren't going away. Fuel costs keep climbing. Margins stay tight.


If your team is still calling each other for documents, manually entering reimbursements, or printing inspection forms, you're losing time every single day.


Time you can't get back.


Meanwhile, carriers using modern TMS platforms are moving faster. Their drivers are happier. Their dispatchers are less stressed. Their operations are leaner.


That's not a future problem. That's happening right now.


Getting Started


If you're already using Datatruck, these updates roll out automatically. Your drivers and staff just need to update their apps.


If you're still running on spreadsheets or an outdated TMS, now's the time to see what's possible. Carriers scaling from 50 to 350+ trucks use platforms that automate the grunt work and give teams real-time visibility.


That's what a carrier-first approach looks like.
