Dispatch Sheet Definition
A dispatch sheet is a detailed record of daily transport operations. It includes:
- Times
- Trips assigned to drivers.
- Identification numbers
- Dates
- And more.
Dispatch sheets are essential for record-keeping and proper procedures. It allows the dispatcher to group priority transports, general transports, and more together. A dispatch sheet verifies everything to cover the company in case of discrepancies.
Why Dispatch Sheets Are Important
Dispatch sheets allow the dispatcher to keep track of transports and ensure on-time delivery. In freight transport, the cargo is often essential to the customer's livelihood. If dispatch causes a delay, it causes a delay in delivery, which means everyone has lost time and money. No one wants that, so tracking dispatched equipment is essential.
