Check in when you drop
One tap at the dock door tells the map you are empty here. It takes about as long as putting the phone back in the cradle.
How it works
How it works
A check-in takes one thumb press. Everything after that is arithmetic — and the arithmetic is built so that the map can be useful without any driver being visible in it.
The map does the maths
Your report joins everyone else reporting in that market. Five drivers minimum, rolling sixty minutes, then a colour appears.
Read the board
Teal means tight and the rate has room. Red means flooded and the cheap load is the only load. Now you know which one you are looking at.
Take it or move
Book the load, or run eighty miles to where the trucks are not. Either way it is a decision instead of a guess.

Too few drivers
0 of 20 cells are hidden — a market is never shown until at least five drivers have reported, so no single truck can be identified from the map.
Reading the board
Four colours, one question: how many trucks are already here?
The colour of a cell is the ratio of empty trucks reporting to loads posted inside it over the last rolling hour. That is the number that decides whether a broker has to move on rate or can wait you out.
- Tight
- Loads outnumber empty trucks. Ask for more, and be willing to walk.
- Balanced
- Roughly even. The posted rate is close to the real rate.
- Soft
- More trucks than freight. Book sooner rather than holding out.
- Flooded
- The cheap load is the only load. Check what a short reposition costs.
- Too few drivers
- Under five reports. We grey it out rather than guess.
Under the hood
What a check-in actually contains
Four things: the market cell you are in, whether you are loaded or empty, your equipment type, and the minute. Not your name, not your truck number, not a track of where you went.
One tap, no typing
Loaded or empty. The app already knows where you are and what you pull, so a check-in is a single thumb press at the dock door.
Five-driver floor
A market cell stays dark until at least five drivers have reported inside it. Below that threshold nothing renders, so no single truck can be picked out of the map.
Rolling 60 minutes
Every report ages out after an hour. What you see is the market as it is right now, not a weekly average that already priced itself in.
Blurred to the cell
Positions are rounded to the market hexagon before they ever leave the phone. We store the cell, never the coordinate trail.
On the free tier, yes — one check-in per completed load keeps your map live for the next 24 hours. Paid plans read the map whether or not you report, though most drivers keep checking in because it sharpens the lanes they actually run.
No. Check-ins are anonymous and aggregated to a market cell shared with at least four other drivers. Nothing in the product exposes an individual truck, and that includes to the company you drive for.
A hexagonal cell roughly 40 miles across, drawn so that a normal deadhead crosses two or three of them. That is small enough to be actionable and large enough to hide any one driver.
A check-in lands in the map within about 90 seconds. The colour you see reflects the last rolling hour of reports in that cell.
Your first check-in takes about four seconds.
