Needs your attention
  • From November 15, the rate-plan screens require a pay-plan permission, so check who on your team holds one.
  • Repricing a load posted to the Alvys marketplace replaces the listing, and bids at the old price are rejected.
  • Accounting integration error emails reach nobody until you add recipients for each subsidiary.
  • Trip value on driver statements is now one statement setting that starts off, so check it before your next statement run.
  • When you split a trip, carrying the trailer over to the second trip is now a checkbox that starts unchecked, so tick it when the trailer goes with the freight.
Loads & DispatchAssets & FleetAddedChanged
When you split a trip you can now say whether the freight changes hands live or as a drop and hook, and trip maps draw the route the trip's dispatch miles were calculated on.

Split now asks how the freight changes hands

The split row in the Split trip window has a Loading type choice: Live or Drop & Hook. Choose Drop & Hook and the delivery that ends the first leg is saved as a Drop and the pickup that starts the second leg as a Hook. Live is the default and saves both stops as Live, exactly as every split did before.Until now every split was recorded as a live unload and reload, even for a relay where the trailer is dropped for the next driver.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: Split Trips & Rearrange Stops

Trip maps draw the route your dispatch miles came from

A trip’s map now draws the route the trip’s dispatch mileage was calculated on, so the distance you see on the map matches the miles the trip is rated at. You will see it on the Fleet Map route view, on the trip overview in the Dispatch Planner and on Loads, and in the trip details on a driver settlement.Until now the map drew its own route, which could differ from the stored mileage and left dispatch and settlements arguing about which number was right. For a trip in transit the line is the planned route, so it is not re-routed around current traffic. The Traffic layer on Assets > Map is unchanged and still shows live road conditions on top of it.Older trips are not backfilled: a trip created before September 29, 2026 keeps its previous map until its mileage is recalculated. Trips with manually entered mileage have no stored route and are unchanged, as are the maps on Create Load and load templates.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: Asset Map
Loads & DispatchChanged
Optimize is replaced by two buttons, Rearrange and Split, each with its own window.

Rearrange and Split replace Optimize

The Optimize button on the Load Details page and in the Dispatch Planner trip sidebar is replaced by Rearrange and Split.Rearrange opens its own window where you drag stops into order, or move them with the keyboard. An order that can’t work, such as a delivery as the first stop, is refused while you drag rather than after you save. Stops that have already been run show an Already run marker, and the button only appears on trips with three or more stops.Split shows the trip’s stops with a split row you drag between them to choose where the trip is cut. One search field covers your saved locations and any address, and the window shows the two lanes you’ll end up with before you save. Stop rows show the date as well as the time, so multi-day trips are easier to read.Live for every company.Learn more: Split Trips & Rearrange Stops
Loads & DispatchIntegrations & EDIChangedAdded
Each stop on the driver activity timeline now shows its own scheduled or actual times, and Pro Ride ELD is now a built-in ELD connection.

Each stop now shows when the driver actually arrived

The driver activity timeline in the Dispatch Planner now judges each stop on its own. A stop with a recorded arrival or departure shows those actual times, and a stop without one keeps showing its scheduled information, so a trip part way through shows real times for the stops that are done and scheduled times for the ones still ahead.Until now a single trip was treated as one thing, so the timeline could show scheduled information for a stop the driver had already worked. Reading the timeline top to bottom now tells you how far along the trip really is.The same expandable timeline appears on the Fleet Map, where it is read-only. These times are not in the driver mobile app.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: Dispatch Planner

Pro Ride ELD is now a built-in ELD connection

You can now connect Pro Ride ELD to Alvys as a built-in ELD provider, alongside the other ELD providers already supported. Find it under Integrations, in the ELDs section.Fleets running Pro Ride no longer need a separate arrangement to get hours and location data into Alvys.Live for every company.
Accounting & SettlementsDriver Pay & SettlementsLoads & DispatchChangedFixedAdded
Issuing an E-Check asks you to verify your identity first, a load now follows its own stops through to Delivered instead of staying In Transit after the final stop is complete, and rate plans can be assigned from a driver's own profile.

Issuing an E-Check now asks you to verify your identity

Generating an E-Check now asks you to verify your identity when you have not done so recently. The prompt opens when you click Generate, before anything is issued, and the E-Check is created only once the verification succeeds.This is the one workflow in Alvys that releases money on demand, so the extra step confirms it is really you at the keyboard. If you cancel the prompt, nothing is issued and the details you entered are kept, so you can finish later without retyping them. You are not signed out of Alvys either way, and moving an E-Check to a different load, cancelling one, and marking one paid are unchanged.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: How to issue and manage E-Checks in Alvys

A load now follows its own stops through to Delivered

A load now reaches Delivered on its own once its last stop is complete, so it no longer sits in In Transit after the driver has finished the final delivery. Releasing a load to billing also reconciles the load against its own stops first, and tells you plainly when it cannot go through because a stop is still open, rather than quietly advancing the trips.If a release is refused, the usual cause is a stop with no Time In and Time Out recorded. Complete the stop and release again. Loads that were already stuck before this change have been brought into line, so you do not need to revert and redo them.One case is still being worked on: a load split across more than one leg can lag behind the leg that finished, and may need a hand to catch up.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: Understanding load statuses and how to revert them

Assign rate plans from a driver’s own profile

You can now put a driver on a rate plan, or take them off one, from a Rate Plans section on the driver’s own profile, instead of working from the plan. Assigning a plan re-rates that driver’s unpaid trips; trips that are already paid or settled are untouched.A plan the driver matches by rule cannot be removed here — the driver qualifies for it through the plan’s own rules, and those are changed in settings. Contractor drivers do not have this section.
From November 15, the rate-plan screens require a pay-plan permission. Until then, anyone on an entitled company can read them. Office Admin, Safety, Data Entry and Load Planner are not granted that permission automatically, so if people in those roles need rate plans after November 15, a company administrator should grant it in user settings before that date.
Available on every company entitled to rate plans, to users with a pay-plan permission.Learn more: Driver rates, rules and plans: the complete guide
Assets & FleetLoads & DispatchAdded
A trailer that belongs to a carrier rather than to your fleet can now be recorded on a trip and is marked External wherever it appears.

Record a carrier’s trailer on a trip, marked External

You can now record a trailer that belongs to a carrier rather than to your own fleet, and Alvys marks it External wherever it appears on the trip. Anyone looking at the trip can tell at a glance whose equipment is under the load without asking the carrier or the driver.An external trailer is a record on the trip, not a fleet asset. It is not added to your trailer list, and Alvys holds no license, insurance, inspection or leasing detail for it. Your own trailers are never marked, so an unmarked trailer number is one of yours.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: How to add a trailer
Companies, Contacts & AccessFixed
Editing a user who holds the Admin role works again, so every field on the User Details form saves.

Editing a user who holds the Admin role works again

You can now edit a user whose company role is Admin from the User Details form under Settings > Organization > Users. The Role field prefills with the role that user already holds instead of appearing blank.Until now, every save on that form was refused with “Only users with an @alvys.com email can be assigned the Admin role”, including changes that had nothing to do with the role: name, phone, primary email, office, reporting access, and E-Check cap and percentage. Those fields save normally again, and Admin is treated as the ordinary company role it has always been when you grant it through Add Profile.Two rules are unchanged. A user type of Admin and the Support role still require an Alvys email address, and a staff user’s email still cannot be changed to a customer domain.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: How to add and manage users in Alvys
Companies, Contacts & AccessDriver Pay & SettlementsAddedChangedFixed
Company access can be added and removed from a user's own profile, Partner Admin now ranks above Admin, resetting a user's MFA works again for administrators, and carrier settlement accounting sync becomes its own setting.

Add or remove a user’s company access from their profile

You can now give another user access to a company, and take it away again, from their profile under Settings > Organization > Users. Use Add Profile to add a company and pick the role that person holds there.The roles offered to you stop at your own seniority, so you cannot hand out a role above the one you hold, and you can only remove an access from someone you outrank. A user’s last remaining company cannot be removed, so nobody is left with an account they cannot sign in to. An Operations Manager can read these profiles but cannot add or remove them. Where an action is refused, the message now says so plainly instead of failing quietly.Available to Admins and Partner Admins on every company.Learn more: How to add and manage users in Alvys

Partner Admin now ranks above Admin

Role seniority decides who can act on whom, and Partner Admin now sits at the top of that ranking, above Admin. The same ranking governs both of this week’s user changes: you can edit, reset MFA for, and change company access for a user you outrank, and the list of roles you can assign ends at your own.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: User roles in Alvys

Resetting a user’s MFA works again for administrators

You can now reset multi-factor authentication for any user you outrank, from Settings > Organization > Users. After the reset, that person has five minutes to complete verification before the request expires and has to be started again.The verification prompt also stays on the company you are working in rather than switching to another one you have access to, so the reset applies where you expect it.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: How to add and manage users in Alvys

Carrier settlement accounting sync is now its own setting

Whether carrier settlements sync to your accounting system is now an explicit setting in your carrier settlement settings, rather than the Carrier Statement checkbox that used to sit on the accounting integration tab. That checkbox is gone, and whatever it was set to has been carried across for you, so nothing has to be re-enabled.When the sync is on and a statement does not reach your accounting system, the statement now shows a red Failed state. A settlement that did not land is visible on the screen instead of being found later.Live for every company.
Driver Pay & SettlementsLoads & DispatchFixedChanged
Mileage totals on a driver settlement now agree with the statement PDF, and changing the rate on a load posted to the Alvys marketplace re-lists it at the new rate.

Mileage totals on a driver settlement now agree with the statement PDF

The total, empty and loaded miles shown on the Approved Items side panel and in the draft and processed statement grids now follow the same rule as the statement PDF. Until now the in-app totals counted every mile driven while the PDF did not, so the two disagreed on a driver whose trip carried only accessorials.Which miles are counted is decided by the Always show miles setting you already have. With it off, the totals count only miles that were rated on the statement, so a trip carrying only accessorials contributes zero. With it on, the totals count all driven miles. Individual trip rows are unchanged and still show each trip’s full mileage, so a trip row and the summary total can differ for a good reason.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: Driver settlements

Changing the rate on a posted load now updates its Alvys marketplace listing

Changing a load’s rate now reaches the Alvys marketplace as well as the other load boards. The marketplace listing is removed and a new listing is created at the current rate, so a carrier browsing the marketplace sees the price you are actually offering rather than the one you first posted.
Bids placed against the old price are rejected when the listing is replaced, and carriers have to bid again on the new listing. If you are already negotiating with a carrier, tell them before you reprice.
Listings on the other load boards are updated in place and keep their posting age. A load posted at call is not re-listed each time the marketplace refreshes.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.Learn more: Alvys Load Board
Loads & DispatchInvoicing & BillingReporting & InsightsAddedChanged
The Dispatch Planner trips table adds Dispatched Date, Tracking Status, Posted Rate and Load Weight columns, a carrier can carry a short remittance memo that prints on its settlement statements, Custom Reporting gets one page for report visibility, sharing and reporting access, six new Custom Reporting datasets go live, and the driver spreadsheet import stops rejecting rows with a blank Fleet column.

Four more optional columns in the Dispatch Planner trips table

You can now add Dispatched Date, Tracking Status, Posted Rate and Load Weight to the trips table in the Dispatch Planner. Each one is hidden until you add it from the trips table’s column configuration menu, and each can be sorted and filtered once it is there, so nobody’s saved view changes on its own.Together they answer the questions dispatch usually opens a trip to check: when the trip was assigned, whether tracking is healthy, what the load was posted at, and how heavy it is. Two of them behave in a way worth knowing before you rely on them. Dispatched Date shows a dash where no assignment date was recorded, so read a dash as “no date recorded” rather than “not dispatched”. Posted Rate does not appear in the trips table or in its column configuration menu where no load board is connected.Available to every company, from the trips table’s column configuration menu.Learn more: Dispatch Planner

A short remittance memo for a carrier, printed on its statements

You can now record a short memo on a carrier’s remittance details, and it prints on that carrier’s settlement statements. Set it on the carrier profile, in the Remittance section, through the Edit Payment & Remittance dialog: the Memo field holds up to 64 characters, and the saved value is shown in the same section afterwards, so nobody has to open the dialog to read it.It is meant as a short identification hint for whoever is being paid, not a full account number. Whether it prints is a company-wide choice rather than a per-carrier one: Show carrier memo on statements, under Settings > Carrier Settlements, is on by default and controls printing only. Turning it off hides the memo on newly generated statement PDFs and leaves the value on the carrier profile, so turning it back on needs no rework.Available to every company, with the memo set per carrier and the printing setting set once.Learn more: Carrier settlements

One place to manage, share, and grant access to Custom Reports

Custom Reporting has a new Manage page under Reports. Everything about a report that used to live in three places — who can see it, who can edit it, and who has reporting access at all — is now on one screen.Every dashboard in your workspace appears in one grid, split between the reports Alvys provides and the ones your company built, with a separate view of the ones you created. Each report is badged Public, Shared, or Private, and shows how many people it reaches — resolved down to the individual people behind any group you shared it with. Open, edit, copy, or share a report from its row, and share it without leaving the page. Administrators also get a card linking straight to a user’s reporting role under Settings > Users, so granting someone access no longer means hunting through User Management.The Reports navigation picks up a + New quick-create, stays open while a dashboard is open, and now lists up to 50 dashboards instead of 20. Visualizations get a full-screen builder with your saved list beside the canvas. And opening a report link without reporting access now tells you so plainly, instead of failing with a dashboard error.This is live for companies on paid Custom Reporting.Learn more: Exports, Schedules, and Alerts

Six new Custom Reporting datasets

Custom Reporting adds Assignment Preferences and Assignment Preference Driver Mapping, Driver, Truck, and Trailer Scheduled Events, and Imported Loads: the assignment preferences dispatch plans from, scheduled driver availability, upcoming equipment events including work orders and repairs, and imported load history. Use them to spot an availability conflict before dispatch commits to a plan, and to report across freight that predates your Alvys records.Learn more: Reporting changelog

Importing drivers from a spreadsheet is more forgiving

A driver row that leaves the Fleet column blank now imports instead of being rejected. Each import also finishes by telling you how many drivers were created and how many rows failed, so a partial import is obvious straight away rather than something you discover later in your driver list. Fleet suggestions keep the capitalization you typed.The preview inside the importer still does not run row-level checks, so a row the preview accepts can still fail on import. The count at the end of the import is where you find out.Live for every company, with nothing to turn on.
Loads & DispatchIntegrations & EDIChangedAdded
Previous Location and empty miles now update when a driver checks out of the first pickup, with better results on overlapping moves and protected manual overrides, a stop accepts more than one reference of the same type during load creation, Fleet can be edited straight from the Dispatch Planner grid, and a new EDI Activity page shows every EDI message with a resend action.

Smarter Previous Location and empty-mile tracking

When a truck is dispatched on a new load, Alvys needs to know where it is coming from before the first pickup. That starting point drives empty miles — the deadhead distance from the truck’s last location to the first pickup — which in turn affects driver pay for fleets that pay per empty mile.Previous Location now updates automatically when a driver checks out of the first pickup stop. Empty miles recalculate at the same time, so dispatch and settlements see numbers that match the truck’s real movement — not just the original appointment schedule.
  • When the driver checks out of the first pickup, Alvys re-evaluates the truck’s previous stop and recalculates empty miles from that location.
  • Overlapping loads, shuttle runs, and backhauls resolve more accurately — including trips that were assigned but not yet started when the next load was planned.
  • Stale or invalid previous locations are cleared instead of staying on the load with inflated empty miles.
  • If you set or correct Previous Location manually, Alvys does not overwrite that choice during the automatic update.
Review Previous Location and empty miles on the Load Details Page in the Stops section. No setup is required — the improvement applies automatically on carrier loads with a truck assigned.Learn more: Previous Location and empty miles on the Load Details Page

More than one reference of the same type on a stop

You can now record two POs, two BOLs, or two PRO numbers on the same stop while you are creating a load. Every row of a stop’s References section offers the full Reference Type list, so choosing a type on one row no longer removes it from the next.A stop that genuinely carries two of the same identifier used to be impossible to enter on the New Load form — the type disappeared from the list as soon as you used it, and the second reference had to wait until the load existed. Removing a row now deletes only that row, so two references of the same type can be corrected independently.Live for every company on the New Load form, with nothing to turn on. Load-level references are unchanged — they already accepted more than one of the same type.Learn more: How to Create a Load

Correct a trip’s Fleet from the Dispatch Planner grid

You can now change a trip’s Fleet directly in the Dispatch Planner trips table, without opening the trip. It joins the other fields you can already edit in place.Fleet is recorded on the load, so every trip row on that load updates together when you change it. Clearing the fleet is not offered from the grid, and the Driver, Truck and Trailer fleet columns stay read-only.Available to every company in the Dispatch Planner.Learn more: Dispatch Planner

See every EDI transaction and resend one on demand

A new EDI Activity page shows every EDI message Alvys has sent and received on your account, whether your trading partner acknowledged it, and lets you resend a failed delivery yourself. You can filter the list, save the views you use most, and act on a single message from its row.Until now, checking whether a partner received a tender or an update meant asking someone to look for you. This puts the answer, and the resend, in front of the person who needs it.Availability is staged, so the page may not be on your account yet. If you do not see it, it is coming rather than missing.Learn more: How to resend a failed EDI delivery
Invoicing & BillingIntegrations & EDIChanged
Accounting integration errors can be emailed to the recipients you choose for each subsidiary, and whether trip value prints on driver statements is now one statement setting instead of a switch on each driver.

Accounting integration errors can reach the people who fix them

You can now have Alvys email accounting integration errors to the people responsible for them: the email settings page adds an Accounting Integration Errors event, and you set the To and Cc recipients on it for each subsidiary.This matters if an accounting integration is failing quietly. Errors that used to wait for someone to go looking can now arrive in the inbox of the person who resolves them, addressed per subsidiary so each accounting team hears only about its own.This is available to every company, on the email settings page you already use. Nobody receives these emails until you add recipients, and leaving both the To and Cc lists empty for a subsidiary turns them off again.

Trip value on driver statements is now one setting

You can now decide once whether trip value prints on driver statements: a Show trip value option in the driver statement settings, under Summary, replaces the switch that used to sit on each driver.This is worth checking before your next statement run. Companies using Alvys today start with the option turned off, so trip value stops appearing on statements until someone turns it on, and drivers who are used to seeing it will notice. The setting sits with the rest of the driver statement settings, and applies to every company.Learn more: Driver statements
Loads & DispatchInvoicing & BillingIntegrations & EDIChanged
Addendum supplemental invoices get their own PDF layout, the Dispatch Planner trips table adds load planner and carrier rate columns, and PrePass toll imports date from the exit time.

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.

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 Planner
  • 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
Loads & DispatchFixed
A driver's last reported position follows the truck they are on, the loads board shows the assigned trailer straight away, and the Dispatch Planner adds two columns and a Docs tab.

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.Learn more: Dispatch Planner

The loads board shows the right trailer number straight 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.Learn more: Alvys Load Board

Two more optional columns in the Dispatch Planner

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 Planner

Trip 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.
