    How logistics & transport use Texto

    Real ways businesses like yours send texts every day.

    In logistics, every minute counts. A load needs picking up and you need a driver there fast. Calling 20 drivers one by one takes half an hour. A text goes to all of them at once and the first to reply YES gets the job. It's faster, cheaper, and you've got a record of who confirmed what. No more he said she said about job details.

    Load availability

    New load comes in from a customer and you need it picked up by 3pm. Text your available drivers with the pickup location, destination, weight, and rate. First driver to reply YES gets assigned. You've filled the job in five minutes instead of making 20 phone calls.

    Driver dispatch

    Assign a job and confirm all the details by text so the driver has everything on their phone. Pickup address, delivery address, contact name, time window. No confusion, no forgotten details. The driver can refer back to the text instead of trying to remember what you said on the phone.

    Delivery confirmations

    Let the customer know their delivery is on the way with the driver's name and an estimated arrival time. Customers love knowing when to expect the truck, especially if they need to have someone there to unload. Cuts down on the 'where's my delivery' phone calls.

    Schedule changes

    Pickup time changed because the warehouse is running behind? Delivery address updated at the last minute? Send a quick text so your driver doesn't turn up at the wrong place at the wrong time. It's faster than calling and the driver has the new details in writing.
