1. Review driver availability early
Start your day with a quick scan of the Trip Table using the status filters. You’ll immediately see which drivers are Unassigned, En Route, or have Called Out—so you can adjust schedules before issues build up.
2. Reassign trips proactively
Check driver ETAs using Darter’s built-in timer, which provides real-time visibility—even when a driver has multiple trips ahead. It even accounts for rideshare segments to help ensure on-time arrivals every time.
3. Balance peak hours with Smart Scheduling
Schedule routes with flexibility and control. Have a driver who can’t commit to a full shift? Use Darter to assign them trips in two separate shifts—maximizing schedule coverage while giving drivers more flexibility.
4. Encourage drivers to use the Call Out feature
Early notice means you can reassign trips before brokers escalate. Drivers can now call out directly through the app—make sure they know how and when to use it.
These small adjustments don’t just improve dispatch efficiency—they reduce missed trips, lower stress, and help maintain broker trust.
