The whole back office, built for one truck
Existing dispatch software is built for 50-truck fleets. LaneQuarters does the opposite — every feature is shaped around how an owner-operator actually runs.
Load management & trip sheets
“Every confirmed load becomes a trip sheet.”
Route, ETA, rate, broker contact, and linked documents in one place. Move each load through its status flow — booked, in transit, delivered, invoiced, paid — and see every change, document, and email on its activity timeline.
Why it matters: It's the backbone. Every other feature hangs off the load record — instead of living in your head, an inbox, and the glovebox.
One-tap POD
“Every doc. One tap away.”
Keep the rate con, BOL, and POD with each load and find any of them on the Documents page. On delivery, snap the signed paperwork and send the POD to the broker's email in a single tap — the load's timeline shows when it was delivered, or if it bounced.
Why it matters: Getting the POD out fast is literally how you get paid. No more hunting for the dispatcher's email at a truck stop.
Broker updates
“Report it once. The broker hears it.”
The broker gets an email when the load is picked up and delivered, and the tracking link you share shows its status, ETA, and last known location. When a driver reports a delay, the new ETA and the reason reach the broker in one tap. For brokers who want a clock, add a check-in schedule to the load — every 1, 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours — and pause it or send one early anytime, with a log of what went out.
Why it matters: Brokers don't need a ping every hour — they need to know the moment the ETA changes. Reporting once beats stopping every hour to write an email, which is dangerous and exhausting behind the wheel.
Smart load matching
“Loads that fit your life.”
Set your minimum rate per mile, home-time target, and preferred lanes, then mark the loads you're considering as prospects. LaneQuarters ranks them for the driver you're planning — the ones that meet your rate and still get the driver home in time come first, then by rate per mile counting deadhead, with a boost for your lanes and for loads that end at home — and shows why each one ranks where it does.
Why it matters: Attacks the loads-that-don't-work-for-you pain head-on — fewer empty miles, more of the freight you actually want.
Multi-leg trip builder
“Take the dispatcher seat.”
Chain loads so each leg starts where the previous one ended. The builder flags any gap between legs with its estimated deadhead, totals the miles, revenue, and average $/mi, and marks chains that finish in your home city.
Why it matters: Minimizes deadhead, the silent killer of owner-operator margins.
Home-time planner
“End the week at home, on time.”
Give each driver a home city, a target day, and an arrival cutoff on the home's own clock. The planner shows which of their loads deliver home in that window, and matching only counts a load as a fit if the driver still makes it home in time.
Why it matters: Home time is the constraint big-fleet software ignores. For the solo driver, it's the whole point.
The rest of the back office
Money, compliance, and the fleet. Some features on this page come with Pro or Fleet — the pricing page lists what each plan includes.
Invoicing & factoring
Invoice a delivered load — linehaul, fuel surcharge, detention, lumper, layover, or TONU — and email the PDF. Record what the broker actually paid, or send the invoice and POD to your factor. Export to CSV or QuickBooks.
Profit
Profit per load for any period, from your fuel price, mpg, and fixed cost per mile — next to the real cost of the expenses and fuel you logged. Plus driver and truck performance.
IFTA worksheet
Per-state miles estimated from each route — your corrections win — and the fuel you bought, in a quarterly worksheet you can export to CSV.
Driver settlements
Pay statements from each driver's terms — per mile, per load, or a share of revenue — with deductions, reimbursements, and net pay. Download the PDF or CSV, and mark it paid to number and lock it. LaneQuarters calculates pay; it doesn't send it.
ELD & hours of service
Connect Samsara or Motive, and truck positions and drivers' hours-of-service clocks sync every 10 minutes — onto the fleet map, the driver's page, and the app.
Route weather
Check a lane against National Weather Service forecasts before you book it. Active loads are re-checked every few hours, with an alert when a route turns hazardous.
Fleet map
Active loads at their last known position — from the driver link, the app, a manual update, or your ELD — with their routes and the warehouses in your directory.
Driver app & DVIR
Drivers update status, share their location, report delays, and send the POD from the app, and file daily inspections with photos. A critical defect puts the truck in maintenance.
Team chat
Direct messages and a conversation for each load between the office and the drivers, with the history kept in one place.
Broker & warehouse directory
A shared directory with FMCSA lookup by MC number. Rate brokers and warehouses, blacklist the bad ones, and keep private notes only your company sees.
Expiry reminders
CDL and medical-card dates for drivers, registration and annual-inspection dates for trucks — with a reminder 30 days out, in the app and by email.
Tracking & driver links
A read-only tracking page for the broker, and a no-login page where a driver updates status and location, reports a delay, or uploads the POD.
What's coming next
The foundation is live. These build on it as we validate with the first carriers.
Multi-stop loads
More than one pickup or delivery on a single load. Today each load runs from one pickup to one delivery.
Load-board feed
Bring loads from load boards straight into matching. Today it ranks the loads you enter.
Broker tracking sync
Push status updates straight into broker tracking portals, in addition to email and the tracking link.
