Home Page

Load Status: You can select one or more load status values to filter the loads that appear on the map by status. The values are listed below:

• Available

• Offered

• Assigned

• Accepted

• InTransit

• Delivered

• Declined

In the following example image, the user wants the map to show only loads with a status of Available, Assigned, Accepted, or InTransit.

Shipping Date and Delivery Date: You can find loads on the map that fall within date ranges for shipping, delivery, or both.

• The steps to define these optional date filters are the same as the steps for the FIND LOADS and INVOICING pages. The default dates are also the same.

• To reset the date ranges, click Reset Dates.

  

• Although they are helpful and recommended to improve performance, the date filter fields are optional.

• To clear these and other filters, see Clear Filters on the HOME Page further down in this article.

Show Pickup Locations: Select this option to view the origin for loads on the map. Clear this option to hide the pickup locations. (For example, to focus on delivery locations or drivers instead.)

Show Delivery Locations: Select this option to view the destinations for loads on the map. Clear this option to hide the drop-off locations. (For example, to focus on pickup locations or drivers instead.)

For carriers only, the Home page filters include two more options:

Show Available Drivers: Select this option to view eligible drivers on the map. These are drivers who...

• completed their mobile app registration (see Set Up a Transflo Mobile+ Account)

• are visible in the system (their show/hide setting is set to Show)

• are not already in-transit on an assigned load.

Show In-Transit Drivers: Select this option to view in-transit drivers on the map based on their mobile device location tracking data.

---

Map Metrics: The map metrics at the bottom left of the filter area indicate what portion of total stops and total drivers are displayed based on your filter criteria.

• A stop is a pickup or delivery location. A typical load has two stops. Some can have more than one stop, including multiple pick-up or drop-off locations.

• Drivers are added to the system, registered for the mobile app, and set to be visible (show/hide status set to Show) in the system.

In this example, the user wants to focus on pickup locations.

1. The user selects Show Pickup Locations.

2. The user clears the remaining options.

3. In the bottom left corner, the map metrics indicate that the map is showing 19 of 38 stops, all pickup locations.

4. In the bottom left corner, the map metrics indicate that the map is showing none (0) of the three (3) eligible drivers in the system.

5. All 19 stops marked on the map are pickup locations.

In this example, the user wants to focus on deliveries:

1. The user selects Show Delivery Locations.

2. The user clears the other options.

3. In the bottom left corner, the map metrics indicate that the map is showing 19 of 38 stops, all drop-off locations.

4. In the bottom left corner, the map metrics indicate that the map is showing none (0) of the three (3) eligible drivers in the system.

5. All 19 stops marked on the map are drop-off locations.

In this example for carriers (driver management features are not available for brokers or shippers), the user wants to view drivers on the map but does not want to view any stops:

1. The user selects Show Available Drivers and Show In-Transit Drivers.

2. The user clears the options for Show Pickup Locations and Show Delivery Locations.

3. In the bottom left corner, the map metrics (not shown here) would indicate that the map is showing 0 of 38 stops or 0 of 0 stops depending on the actual load data and date filters

4. In the bottom left corner, the map metrics (not shown here) would indicate that the map is showing all three (3) of the three (3) eligible drivers in the system for this example

   

Clear the filters when you want a clean unfiltered view of all your data or whenever you want to "start over" and define new filters.

1. In the top menu bar, click HOME.

2. To reset any custom date ranges back to the system defaults, click Reset Dates. This restores the default date ranges (last six days, today, next six days).

3. To clear a date range, triple-click in the field and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.

4. To manually clear any status values in the Load Status field, click X Delete to remove each one.

5. To remove the remaining filter options, clear their check boxes.

6. Click Apply.

Use the zoom control buttons in the upper left corner of the map to zoom in or out.

• Click + Zoom In to see more detailed information.

• Click - Zoom Out to view aggregated information spanning a larger region.

  

Tip: You can also configure a mouse wheel, trackpad, or other accessible pointing device to zoom in or out of the maps. See your operating system documentation.

To use the map, follow these steps and examples:

1. In this example, we see two sets of loads aggregated at a regional level:

   • 11 loads around Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan

   • 10 loads around the states of New York and Pennsylvania

     

2. Click + Zoom In. At this zoom level, the map is able to break out the aggregated totals into separate locations, where it makes sense.

   • 11 loads are now visible as one (1) pick-up location in Michigan plus 10 remaining stops in Indiana

   • 10 loads are now visible as one (1) pick-up location in Albany, NY plus 9 remaining stops further west

     

3. Click - Zoom Out to view the aggregated data another way. Mouse over the yellow 10.

   • The blue shaded region shows the extent of all load activity for this cluster of loads and stops.

   • The data point at the far eastern edge of the region represents a stop (in this case a pickup location) in Albany, NY.

     

4. Click + Zoom In. At this zoom level, the pickup location in Albany, NY is represented as its own stop on the map.

5. Hover over the green 9. The map cannot break out the stops at this zoom level; however, when you hover over the 9 aggregated stops, you can get an idea of the miles they cover. In the blue shaded load activity zone, you can begin to make out stops in upstate New York and at least one as far south as Pittsburgh, PA.

   

In this example, instead of clicking + Zoom In to progressively see more details, click directly on a group of loads. Try it on your own map!

1. In this example, we clicked on the green 9.

   

2. The map auto-zooms to show all 9 stops inside the current map view without having to scroll. Now you can see even more details about the extent of the load activity.

   • 4 distinct pickup locations in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse

   • 5 remaining stops that are so close together the map continues to show them aggregated under a single green 5 icon

     

3. Click the green 5 to see what happens next!

4. The map shows all five (5) stops. In this example, all five (5) are drop-off locations as shown.

   

In this example, you are going to click on a stop (in this case, a pick-up location). Follow the example below to click on a pick-up location on your own map!

1. On the Home page map, click a pick-up location. In the example below, we clicked on the pick-up location map marker in Rochester, NY. The map marker inverted its colors to indicate it is the currently selected pick-up location.

   

2. Load details appear in the right panel. Use this feature to get load data without leaving the map.

   

3. In this example, we clicked the green 5 to view all stops and then hovered over each stop to find load number 123302. Next, we clicked on a drop-off location marker on the map to see load information in the panel on the right where we can view the pick-up and drop-off details, assigned driver, and broker.

   

4. This next example shows the pick-up location up in Norman, Oklahoma and the drop-off location down in Fort Worth, Texas. We clicked the blue drop-off location to view the details in the right panel and then moused over the pick-up location in Oklahoma to verify the load numbers matched. This view is convenient because it shows you the direct route, the assigned driver, and other stops or deliveries in the area.

   

   

   Tip: Click the load number in the right panel to view even more load information!

The following examples show how you can view drivers on the Home page maps (driver features are for carriers only).

1. In this example, pickup and delivery locations are hidden. We want to focus on drivers. We can clearly see seven (7) drivers:

   • 4 available drivers (yellow)

   • 3 in-transit drivers (blue)

     

2. In this example, the user has clicked on the blue driver icon for John Griswold. Driver information appears in the panel on the right side of the screen.

   • The blue in-transit driver icon represents the Last Known Location given in the driver information panel on the right.

   • A blue line shows the approximate future route from the current driver location to the destination.

     

On the right side of the Home screen, brokers see the following clickable links in blue:

• Total Undelivered Loads

• Unassigned Loads

• In Transit Loads

• Accepted Loads

  

Carriers see the following clickable links in blue:

• Total Undelivered Loads

• Available Loads

• In Transit Loads

• Assigned Loads

• Declined Loads

• Offered Loads
