Dispatching is the planning and control of transport orders: the dispatcher assigns orders to vehicles and drivers, plans routes and schedules, and works out whether a load is worth taking at the offered freight rate.
A dispatcher's tasks: accept and assess orders, plan routes and backhauls, take driving and rest times into account, brief drivers and monitor delivery.
The key question: does the freight rate cover the cost of the trip? That requires fuel, tolls, driver and vehicle costs and empty kilometres in one number.
How Logist Calculator helps: route, tolls per country, fuel and driver costs are combined in one calculation; when you enter a freight rate, it shows profit and margin.
