ITS – Internet Truck Stop

ITS is a load and truck posting board available on the internet with a user name and password.  We use this software in multiple ways but as a Tier 1 dispatcher you will use it primarily for finding loads for Sammons trucks that appear on our Map Trucks mapping system.

You can use ITS in one of two ways works best:

1. Search Best Loads – Search the best loads out at the time and then check to see if we have available trucks in the area. This is a great way to filter for the highest paying loads first or the most revenue on a load.  It’s important to note that for the most part a load that pays $2,000 has the same amount of work as a load that pays $6000 in regards to dispatching.  So, its smarter, when possible, to book the highest revenue load first.
2. Match Loads to a Truck – In this method you may have spoken to a Sammons truck that is looking for a load and you use ITS to find loads that match his equipment and needs.  This approach works well when you have a truck driver you know and can easily determine that kind of loads he is interested in taking.   So, work smarter, work with the trucks that put the fewest restrictions on the loads he is interested in taking.  Remember highest revenue is the goal.

Load Searching

The following video explains how to use ITS to search for available loads.

Posting Available Trucks

The following video explains how to post a Sammons Truck.  We ask that you only post a truck that you have spoke to and are actively searching for loads. Also, in the “Special Information” section on ITS please include your phone extension so that the calls are routed to the correct dispatcher.  Posting trucks allows the ITS software and the broker customers out there to do much of your work for you. So take the time to understand the tool, but again please post trucks that you are working with and have spoken to.
