September 2026 begins with fixes to what the dispatch screens tell you about a driver and their equipment, four new optional columns and a Docs tab in the Dispatch Planner, a clearer PDF layout for addendum supplemental invoices, and more accurate PrePass toll imports.
Overview
Most of this month so far is about trusting what is on the screen in front of you. If you plan from a driver’s last reported position, that position now comes from the truck the driver is actually on rather than one they used to drive, and it is blank when the current truck has not reported. If you assign trailers from the loads board, the sidebar now shows the trailer the trip actually has. The Dispatch Planner picks up four more optional columns and a Docs tab for trip paperwork. On the billing side, an addendum supplemental invoice now prints its own layout, so the adjustment amount is labelled as an adjustment. And imported PrePass toll transactions are dated from the report itself instead of the moment you uploaded it. None of these changes asks anything of you: they are live for every company, with no setting to turn on.Loads & Dispatch (September 1)
A driver’s last reported position now follows the truck they are on
The last reported position shown for a driver in the Dispatch Planner now comes from the truck that driver is currently assigned to. If that truck has not reported a position, the value is blank rather than showing an older position from a different truck. This matters most when you plan by location. A driver who changed trucks used to be able to appear where their previous truck last reported, which put them in the wrong place on the board. A blank value now means the current truck has not reported yet, which is a different thing from being far away.

The Trailer row in the loads board side panel now shows the trailer the trip is actually assigned. It reflects the current assignment as soon as you make it, so you can confirm equipment from the board without opening the trip to check.

The drivers table in the Dispatch Planner adds a Contractor Type column, and the trips table adds a Carrier Sales Agent column. Both are hidden until you add them, so nobody’s saved view changes on its own — add either one from that table’s column configuration menu when you want it. Once added, both can be sorted and filtered like the rest of the table. Learn more: Dispatch PlannerTrip documents in the Dispatch Planner side panel
The Dispatch Planner side panel adds a Docs tab for the trip’s paperwork. From it you can upload a document, edit one already there, download a copy, and delete one — without leaving the planner to open the trip.Invoicing & Billing (September 2)
Addendum supplemental invoices print a clearer layout
An addendum supplemental invoice used to print the same layout as the original invoice, which showed the adjustment under an Amount heading as though it were a full invoice value. Newly generated addendum supplementals now print their own layout instead: each line shows the previous rate, units and unit of measure alongside the new ones, the adjustment is labelled as an adjustment, and the footer totals the adjustment. Original invoices and revision-type supplementals print exactly as they did before, and this changes the printed document only — nothing about how an invoice is built or sent has changed.Loads & Dispatch (September 2)
Two further optional columns in the Dispatch Planner trips table
The trips table in the Dispatch Planner adds a column for the trip’s load planner and a column for the carrier rate. Like the columns added on September 1, both are hidden until you add them from the trips table’s column configuration menu, and both can be sorted and filtered once added. The load planner column filters on who is planning the trip, including an option for trips that have no load planner assigned yet, and shows a placeholder where none is assigned. The carrier rate column is limited to accounts that are allowed to see carrier rates: where your account is not, the column does not appear in the trips table or in its column configuration menu. It shows the rate and nothing more — it does not change who may edit a rate, and it restricts nothing that was allowed before. Learn more: Dispatch PlannerIntegrations & EDI (September 2)
- Imported PrePass toll transactions are now dated from the exit date and time in the Toll Details report rather than from the time you uploaded the file, entry and exit details come across with the transaction, and a truck links automatically when its transponder ID matches the report. Both the CSV and Excel versions of the report import. Learn more: PrePass Toll Integration
