Automated Lane Capacity Digest for Trucking Dispatch
Every Monday, WebRun opens Truckbase, reviews the week's booked loads and driver availability, calculates open capacity by lane, logs the breakdown to a Google Sheet, and posts a lane capacity digest to your Slack channel so dispatchers know where to source loads.
How do I get a weekly digest of available truck capacity by lane?
WebRun reads Truckbase every Monday for booked loads and driver availability, calculates open truck capacity by lane for the week ahead, logs the breakdown to a Google Sheet, and posts a digest to your Slack channel. Dispatchers start the week knowing exactly where capacity is available and can target load board searches accordingly.

Questions, answered
Does it book loads on the open capacity automatically?
No. WebRun only surfaces available capacity so your dispatchers can make informed sourcing decisions. Load booking remains a human action.
How does it determine which lanes you run?
It reads the lane information from loads already booked in Truckbase. Lanes with booked loads in the past four weeks are included in the digest automatically.
Can it factor in drivers who are on vacation or out of service?
Yes, as long as driver availability is reflected in Truckbase. WebRun reads the schedule as recorded there, so keeping driver status current in Truckbase gives you an accurate capacity picture.
