Agricultural hauling
Dispatch software for grain and agricultural hauling
Harvest means many short loads a day, extra contractor trucks, and a ticket from every elevator and plant. Strait Dispatch keeps assignment, tickets, tracking, and billing on one work order, even on your busiest days.

Where it fits
Built for harvest-season volume
Grain, sugar beets, and other agricultural loads run on the same workflow Strait Dispatch uses for high-volume oilfield and aggregate hauling.
Many loads a day
Queue each driver’s loads on the Day Board and move work between trucks as fields and elevators change.
A ticket for every load
Drivers record each load in the app and attach a photo of the scale ticket, so the office is not waiting on paper.
Owned and contractor trucks
Bring on extra trucks for harvest and dispatch them on the same board, through to settlement.
Rates the way you bill
Line items rated by the load, the hour, or the unit you bill, set up for each customer and job.
Lines at the elevator
Time on site shows which elevators and plants keep trucks waiting, before you send the next one.
Loads and revenue by day
Dashboards for loads, revenue by commodity and job type, and how hard each truck worked.
Driver Day Board
Plan harvest days by drag and drop
Line up each driver’s loads for the day, then drag work orders onto, off of, or between drivers when a field finishes early or an elevator line backs up. Turn on a day plan and each driver sees one load at a time, with the next sent when they finish. Every change reaches the driver’s app right away.
- Queue each driver’s loads in the order you want them run
- Day plans, per driver: show only the current load, and send the next when it is finished
- Unassigned work orders waiting to be placed
Time on site
Know which elevators and plants keep trucks waiting
Geofenced arrival and departure times show the median time at every field, elevator, and plant, how today compares with normal, and which visits ran past the free time. At harvest, a two-hour line at one elevator is a load you could have hauled somewhere else.
Driver accountability
Know how every hour on the clock was spent
When you bill customers by the hour, they expect every hour to count. If one driver runs ten loads a day and another runs five on the same origin and destination, the customer pays the same rate for half the work, and they will notice. Do not lose a contract because nobody was watching out for your customer’s bottom line.
Replay a single load or a driver’s whole shift: every stop, how long they stayed, and how long they spent at each site. You will know whether a driver was really waiting on site, or parked two miles down the road.
- Replay one load, or a driver’s entire shift
- Every stop, and how long the truck sat there
- Time on site at each origin and destination
- Loaded, empty, and on-site time broken out
- Miles, driving time, idle time, and top speed
Equipment utilization
See which trucks are pulling their weight this harvest
Loads by truck by day, the share of truck-days with a load, loads per working day, and every unit parked three days or more. Know whether you need more trucks for the season, or better use of the ones you have.
Driver document management
Every driver’s paperwork in one place, with notice before anything expires
Set the documents your drivers need, mark each one required or optional, and see at a glance what each driver has on file, what is missing, and when it expires. Strait Dispatch flags what is coming due, so you renew in time instead of finding out at the scale house or the gate.
- CDL, DOT medical card, MVR, and drug and alcohol tests
- H2S, PEC SafeLand, hazmat, TWIC, and anything else you require
- Required or optional, set by you
- Advance notice 30, 60, or 90 days before expiration
- Missing and expired documents flagged on your dashboard
- Replaced files kept in each driver’s history
