Getting started

Welcome to Doft Dispatch. Here's how to get up and running in a few minutes.

1. Create your workspace

When you sign up you create a workspace — your company's home in Doft. Choose a plan and enter a card to start your 14-day trial; nothing is charged until the trial ends.

2. Add a carrier profile

Go to Settings → Carriers (or finish the onboarding wizard) and add your carrier: legal name, MC/DOT numbers, and remit-to address. Invoices and documents are organized per carrier, so this comes first.

3. Add trucks and drivers

Under Settings, add your trucks and drivers. Drivers only need a name and a mobile number — they get tracking links by text, with no app to install.

4. Create your first load

Open the Dispatch board and choose Add load. You can type the details in, or let the AI fill them from a rate confirmation (see "How AI parsing works"). Drag a load between columns to change its status.

5. Invite your team

Owners can invite teammates under Settings → Users & permissions and choose each person's role (dispatcher, accountant, viewer, and so on).
