This is the short path from a new account to a dispatched load. Work the sections in order. Each card opens the full how-to — this page does not replace those articles.

1. Set up your account

Sign-in and user access are the first things new teams ask about. An admin creates users and assigns a role; every user then signs in, accepts the terms, and can turn on MFA.

Add users and sign in

Create accounts, sign in, reset a password, and switch organizations.

Add and manage users

Edit, deactivate, and assign roles from Company Profile.

User roles

What Admin, Dispatcher, Biller, Sales, and Safety can do.

User permissions

The permission toggles that gate rates, dispatch, billing, and reports.

Set up MFA

Turn on multi-factor authentication for your Alvys login.

2. Add your fleet

Loads need drivers and trucks. Set these up before you create the first shipment, and get drivers onto the mobile app so they can accept work.

Create a driver

Add a driver profile and the details dispatch needs to assign them.

Add a truck

Create a truck record and attach it to a fleet.

Add and manage fleets

Group trucks by region, division, or equipment type.

Driver Companion app

How drivers sign in, accept loads, and send updates from the phone.

3. Run your first load

A load is the core record in Alvys. Create it, put it on the board or dispatch it, and know what each status means.

Create a load

Enter the customer, stops, and rates for a new shipment.

Alvys Load Board

Find available loads and filter the board the way your team works.

Dispatch a load

Assign a driver or carrier and release the load to the road.

Dispatch Planner

Plan assignments across drivers, trucks, and the day’s work.

Load statuses

What each status means and how to move a load back a step.

4. Get help

Contact Alvys Support

How to reach the support team and what to include in a request.

After your first week

Once loads are moving, the next questions are usually invoicing, driver pay, and changing a released load. Those live in their own sections — start with Managing a load and the Accounting & Settlements guides.
