Ability to "schedule future prices" at the Job level

We use price escalators on a lot of quotes and orders (and require Jobs for most sales documents), it would be nice to set it up at the Job level and let it copy over to the quote and then order through the wizards. *Same functionality as schedule...

As a fleet coordinator, I would like to know the average cost of a third party vehicle based on historical data.

As a fleet coordinator, I would like to know the cost of third party vehicles per load.

On one hand, I may wish to reduce the cost of delivery. On the other hand, if third parties are not making enough, they will find other work.

As a fleet allocator, I would like to know how well I am utilizing each driver.

Driver utilization is an important KPI for transportation. It should be easily visible and regularly updated (perhaps in COMMANDtrack).

As an order taker, I would like the ability to ensure vehicle demand does not exceed supply (which may vary day by day or even by time of day, as well as location/region).

Bluetooth reader capabilities

Drivers lose cards (RFID), some states don't have front license plates (LPR), some plants don't have many repeat trucks (Transcore). I've heard a lot of reasons why specific identifications may not work at some plants. However, basically everyone ...

Showing Dispatch Time Window in Dispatch Schedule Screen

It would be very helpful to show the Start- to Finish-time entered in the "Dispatch Order" screen as a column on the "Dispatch Schedule" screen. This would alert and make the scale house operator aware of the urgency of some shipments.
