Trux Automated Aggregate Load Dispatch

Every morning, WebRun opens Trux, reads the day's confirmed aggregate orders, groups loads by plant, material, and jobsite, records the stacked run sheet in Google Sheets, and posts a hauler dispatch board to Slack so dispatch starts the day with every truck assigned.

In short

How do I automatically stack and dispatch aggregate loads to my haulers each morning?

WebRun opens Trux every morning, reads the day's confirmed aggregate orders, and stacks the loads by plant, material, and jobsite to cut deadhead. It records the run sheet in Google Sheets and posts a hauler dispatch board to Slack, so your dispatcher starts the day with every load grouped and every truck proposed.

  • Every load stacked and assigned before the plant opens
  • Deadhead miles cut by grouping loads by plant and jobsite
  • Short-truck orders flagged early enough to source a hauler

    • Open Trux and list confirmed aggregate orders for today
    • Capture plant, material type, quantity, jobsite, and requested start time for each
    • Group orders by plant and material so loads can be stacked efficiently

    Done when Every confirmed order for today is listed with its plant, material, and jobsite.

Questions, answered

Does it dispatch trucks on its own?

No. WebRun stacks the loads and proposes a hauler run sheet, then posts it to Slack for your dispatcher to confirm and release. The final assignment stays a human decision inside Trux.

How does it decide which hauler gets which run?

It groups loads by plant and jobsite to cut deadhead, then suggests haulers by that grouping. You can weight it by preferred haulers or truck type and it will restack the board.

What if an order is short a truck?

It flags any order still missing a truck at the top of the board so your dispatcher can source a third-party hauler before the plant opens.
