DISPATCH APPROVED ROUTING — BUILT FOR HEAVY TRUCK FLEETS
The Dispatcher Controls the Route. Every Driver Gets It Instantly.
Before Dispatch360: A driver calls in to report a road closure. The dispatcher scrambles to call every other driver headed that way before they hit the same problem. Someone does not answer. Another truck is already through. By the time everyone is rerouted, loads are late, drivers are frustrated, and the dispatcher has spent twenty minutes on the phone instead of managing the board.
After Dispatch360: The first driver reports the problem. The dispatcher opens the route in Dispatch360, drags the path around the closure, and pushes the updated route to every truck headed to that job — all of them, at once. Each driver's turn-by-turn navigation on their tablet updates automatically. No calls. No confusion. The whole fleet is rerouted in under a minute.
Heavy Trucks Can't Use Every Road. Your Routing Needs to Reflect That.
Consumer GPS apps were not built for heavy trucks. They do not know the gross vehicle weight of a loaded ready-mix drum. They do not know the clearance height of your mixer. They do not know that the parkway ahead has a 10-foot bridge. They route based on speed and distance — not on what a 70,000-pound loaded concrete truck can safely travel.
In construction materials operations, the consequences of a wrong route are not just a delay. A loaded ready-mix truck under a low bridge is a vehicle impoundment, a damaged drum, and a poured load that cannot be delivered. A heavy aggregate hauler on a weight-restricted road is a liability claim. These are not edge cases — they are real risks that happen to real fleets when drivers follow routing instructions that were not built for their vehicle type.
Dispatch360’s route optimization — also known as Corridoring — puts the dispatcher in control of every driver’s turn-by-turn navigation from the dispatch dashboard. The dispatcher sets the approved route. The driver follows it. When conditions change, the dispatcher updates it. The driver’s tablet reflects the change immediately without any action required from the driver.
How Dispatch Approved Routing Works in Dispatch360.
From the dispatch dashboard, the dispatcher can view any driver’s current assigned route and modify it using a simple drag-and-drop interface. Need to add a waypoint, avoid a road segment, or reroute around a closure? Drag the route to the new path. The updated turn-by-turn directions push to the driver’s tablet instantly — no phone call, no text message, no manual re-entry required on the driver’s side.
The same tool works fleet-wide. If a job has ten trucks headed to the same site and the first driver reports a problem with the route, the dispatcher can update the path once and push it to every truck still in transit. Each driver’s navigation adjusts automatically. The dispatcher does not need to contact each driver individually — the system handles the communication.
What Route Optimization Does for Your Operation.
Drag-and-Drop Route Editing
Modify any driver’s route directly from the dispatch dashboard. Drag the path to the new route and the change pushes to the driver’s tablet instantly — no phone call required.
Fleet-Wide Route Updates
One change, every truck. Update the route for an entire job at once — all drivers headed to the same site get the updated navigation simultaneously.
Turn-by-Turn on the Driver Tablet
Updated routes push directly to the driver’s turn-by-turn navigation on their Dispatch360 tablet. The driver follows the corrected route without needing to do anything manually.
Built for Heavy Truck Routing
Designed for loaded ready-mix trucks, aggregate haulers, and other heavy commercial vehicles — not consumer navigation. Routes account for vehicle type, bridge clearances, and weight restrictions.
Road Closure Response
When a driver reports a road closure or hazard, the dispatcher can reroute the entire fleet headed that direction in under a minute — before anyone else hits the same problem.
Avoid Costly Routing Mistakes
Low bridges, weight-restricted roads, parkways, and temporary closures — dispatch approved routing keeps heavy trucks on roads they are authorized and safe to travel.
When Dispatch Approved Routing Matters Most.
Low Clearance Bridges
Parkways and older roads often have bridge clearances that passenger vehicles clear easily but heavy trucks do not. A dispatcher-approved route keeps loaded trucks on roads where they fit.
Weight-Restricted Roads
Many roads carry posted weight limits that loaded concrete and aggregate trucks exceed. Dispatch approved routing prevents drivers from unknowingly taking restricted routes.
Temporary Road Closures
Construction zones, accidents, and emergency closures happen without warning. When the first driver reports it, the dispatcher reroutes the rest of the fleet before anyone else is affected.
Unfamiliar Job Sites
New drivers or drivers heading to unfamiliar areas may not know local road restrictions. The dispatcher sets the approved route from the office and the driver follows it exactly.
Route Optimization — Common Questions
What is Corridoring in Dispatch360?
Corridoring is Dispatch360’s name for Dispatch Approved Routing — a feature that allows dispatchers to modify a driver’s turn-by-turn navigation route directly from the dispatch dashboard. Changes push to the driver’s tablet instantly without any action required from the driver. It is designed specifically for heavy truck fleets where consumer GPS routing is not safe or appropriate.
Can a dispatcher update routes for multiple trucks at once?
Yes. If multiple trucks are headed to the same job site, the dispatcher can update the route once and push it to every truck in that job simultaneously. Each driver’s navigation updates automatically — the dispatcher does not need to contact each driver individually.
Does the driver need to do anything when the route is updated?
No. When the dispatcher updates a route, the change pushes directly to the driver’s turn-by-turn navigation on their Dispatch360 tablet. The driver’s navigation adjusts automatically and they follow the new route without any manual input required.
What kinds of routing problems does this feature solve?
Dispatch approved routing is most commonly used to route heavy trucks around low-clearance bridges, weight-restricted roads, parkways that prohibit commercial vehicles, and temporary road closures. It also helps with unfamiliar routes for new drivers and real-time rerouting when a driver reports a hazard or closure ahead.
