Need a way to add vehicles to Dispatch without being able to modify the Dispatch itself.

There are times when Central Dispatch will not know in advance which vehicles are coming the next day to deliver on a dispatch. Under those circumstances, it sometimes would be the responsibility of the weighmaster to assign the vehicles to the Di...

Maintain time interval between dispatch loads

For example, if spacing loads at 9AM, 9:30, 10AM, 10:30, and the first truck actually loads at 9:15AM, other loads should push out to maintain spacing (9:45, 10:15, 10:45)
