Where Routing & dispatch fits
03 Dispatch is the operating context.
This page should not feel like an isolated feature sheet. It belongs to a role, a stage, a control, and an outcome in the Haultro operating spine.

The challenge
- ! Routes built once a season drift out of date as customers, time windows, and tonnage change week to week.
- ! Drivers backtrack across territory because stop order was set by habit, not by drive time or fill level.
- ! A truck breaks down or a roll-off goes overflow and the whole day gets re-planned by phone, sticky notes, and guesswork.
- ! Dispatch cannot see which truck is closest, which is running behind, or who can absorb an emergency same-day pickup.
- ! Crews chase the landfill or transfer station and arrive after the gate cutoff, forcing a costly second trip.
What it does
- ✓ Generate balanced, drive-time-aware routes for recurring residential, commercial, and roll-off work.
- ✓ Re-sequence stops against fill forecasts, capacity, and time windows during the shift; use configured-provider traffic only on supported matrices.
- ✓ Run on-demand and dynamic routing so same-day jobs slot into the best truck automatically.
- ✓ Give dispatch one live board with every truck, stop status, and ETA in real time.
- ✓ Honor landfill and transfer-station hours so trucks reach disposal before the gate closes.
- ✓ Re-plan instantly around breakdowns, no-access stops, and last-minute adds without unraveling the day.
Inside the module
What your team can work with.
✓AI route optimizer that minimizes total drive time, distance, and fuel across the whole fleet, not just one truck.
✓Governed re-sequencing that re-orders remaining stops as fill levels, capacity, and time windows change, with provider-gated traffic on supported matrices.
✓Recurring route templates for weekly, biweekly, and commercial frequencies with per-stop service rules.
✓On-demand and dynamic dispatch that assigns new jobs to the lowest-cost truck in seconds.
✓Live dispatch board showing every truck, current stop, ETA, status, and exception on one screen.
✓Drag-and-drop manual override so dispatch can pin, move, or hold any stop and the optimizer respects it.
✓Fill-level-aware sequencing that pulls bins forecast to overflow earlier in the run.
✓Time-window and SLA enforcement with early-warning flags before a stop is at risk of being missed.
✓Landfill and transfer-station cutoff awareness that routes the disposal leg to beat the gate.
✓Operator-entered restriction notes plus service-zone prohibited-truck-type controls. Road-level same-side, bridge, turn, hazmat, and weight restrictions require a named mapping contract and are not currently automated.
✓Capacity and weight limits per truck so routes never exceed legal load or container count.
✓Skill and asset matching so the right truck, body type, and equipment go to each job.
✓One-tap re-route and reassignment when a truck goes down or a stop reports no access.
✓Driver-recorded arrival, departure, proof, and stop status with route and timestamp context.
✓Push of the finalized stop sequence and turn-by-turn directions straight to the Haultro Driver app.
Routing & dispatch · Connected to the work on the groundRecurring and dynamic
Built for both the route book and the same-day call
Most waste operations run on standing routes but live or die on exceptions. Haultro handles both in one place: stable recurring routes for your weekly and commercial work, plus dynamic dispatch that drops on-demand and emergency jobs onto the right truck without blowing up the schedule.
Recurring routes
Templated weekly, biweekly, and commercial frequencies with per-stop service rules, rebalanced automatically as the customer base shifts.
On-demand jobs
Same-day pickups, swaps, and rush calls assigned to the lowest-cost available truck in seconds.
Dynamic re-sequencing
Remaining stops re-order as fill, capacity, and time windows change; configured-provider traffic applies only to supported route sizes.
Exception handling
Breakdowns, no-access stops, and overflow bins trigger an instant, contained re-plan instead of a manual scramble.
Dispatch control
One board, every truck, no phone tag
See every truck's live position, current stop, status, and ETA on a single map and list.
Spot at-risk stops and SLA breaches before they happen with early-warning flags.
Reassign a stop or whole route with drag-and-drop, and the optimizer rebuilds around your decision.
Find the closest available truck for an emergency pickup without calling around.
Connected across the platform
One source of truth.
Driver app
Optimized stop sequence and turn-by-turn navigation push directly into Haultro Driver, and proof-of-service photos and signatures flow back to close each stop.
Fleet telematics
Accepted provider location records give dispatch current truck context for human-reviewed ETAs and re-sequencing. Geofenced stop automation is not part of the current production contract.
Disposal & weight
Tonnage and landfill cutoff data shape the disposal leg so routes hit the scale and gate before close.
Asset tracking
Container fill and 48-72 hour forecasts feed the optimizer so near-full bins are pulled forward in the run.
How it works
Adopting routing & dispatch.
01
Ingest the work
Recurring routes, scheduled jobs, on-demand requests, container fill forecasts, and time windows all flow into one planning view.
02
Optimize the plan
The AI optimizer builds balanced, drive-time-aware routes that respect truck capacity, weight limits, SLAs, and landfill cutoffs.
03
Dispatch and drive
Routes push to the Haultro Driver app with stop sequence and turn-by-turn navigation while dispatch tracks progress live.
04
Adapt with current evidence
As fill levels, exceptions, and operator-confirmed truck state change, stops can be re-sequenced. Provider traffic is used only when the configured matrix is healthy and supported.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
How is this different from generic delivery routing software?
Haultro is built for waste and fleet ops, so the optimizer understands container fill levels, tonnage and weight limits, body and equipment types, and landfill or transfer-station cutoffs, not just addresses and drive time.
Does it handle both recurring routes and on-demand work?
Yes. You can run standing weekly and commercial routes from templates and still drop same-day and emergency jobs onto the best available truck through dynamic dispatch.
Can dispatch override the AI?
Always. Dispatch can pin, hold, move, or reassign any stop with drag-and-drop, and the optimizer rebuilds the rest of the route around those manual decisions.
How does it know a bin needs service before it overflows?
Asset tracking feeds 48-72 hour fill forecasts into the optimizer, so containers projected to overflow are pulled earlier in the run instead of being missed.
How fresh is the truck location data driving the board?
Freshness depends on the accepted provider, customer plan, scopes, connection health, and polling or webhook cadence. Haultro records current locations for dispatch review but does not promise a universal 15-second cadence or geofenced stop-status automation.
