Truck, site and route records for materials dispatchers
For a dispatcher, Quote360 is the record of how a sale is meant to move: the trucks and truck types, the sites with their coordinates, and the priced route on every quote.

Which records does dispatch own?
Sales quotes from these records, so keeping them right keeps prices right.
| Record | What it holds | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Truck | Name, plate, VIN, type, capacity, fuel type | tons or cubic yards |
| Truck type | The classes your fleet runs | - |
| Fuel type | Diesel and the other fuels your trucks use | - |
| Site | Address and coordinates of a pickup or delivery site | latitude, longitude |
| Route on a quote | Distance and drive time between sites | miles, hours |
How does dispatch help sales quote right?
When trucks carry real capacities, speeds and costs, and sites carry exact coordinates, the haul on each quote reflects the trip dispatch will actually run.
What does Quote360 not do for dispatch?
It does not schedule loads, run a dispatch board or track trucks on the road.
