Digital tech has brought so many changes to automotive transportation. So why manage loads the same old way? The Central Dispatch carrier app puts some of the most critical platform features right at your fingertips, helping you work with more speed and ease, from anywhere you need to.
NEW: Find Loads On-the-Go
You don’t need to be at the office to keep your trucks full and moving. The mobile app brings all your favorite load board features into a simplified mobile interface, so you can find, apply for, and secure profitable shipments from anywhere.
Search for loads with a specific origin and destination, look along your preferred routes, and enjoy all the same filters available in your desktop workflow. Learn more about searching for loads in the app here.
Instant Delivery Updates
Forget the back-and-forth phone calls. The carrier app’s Real-Time Tracking feature lets you send live delivery and status updates straight to a shipper’s desktop or mobile phone!
Just enable Real-Time Tracking in the app’s “Settings” menu, and shippers will see the exact location of their vehicle on an interactive GPS map, and receive automatic pickup and drop-off updates. There’s no better way to give customers more transparency and peace-of-mind.
Faster Inspections
Vehicle inspections are one of the most critical parts of any logistics operation, and now they can be the smoothest, most efficient part too! The carrier app lets drivers complete the entire inspection process from start to finish, right from the convenience of their phone.
Simply take photos, mark damages, write notes, and collect signatures — all in one smooth and intuitive process. Whether picking up or dropping off, your drivers will be able to quickly get vehicles verified and get back on the road.
Shippers can even request that inspections be completed on the app directly from the dispatch experience in order to streamline the process for everyone.
Easier EBOL Sharing
Stay flexible on the road. With EBOL sharing available right in the app, you can keep shipments running smoothly from anywhere. All you need is the shipper’s email address, and you’re ready to seamlessly send over documents and shipment updates for stronger, easier connections with customers.
Manage Loads from Anywhere
With inspections, load search, tracking, and document sharing all in your pocket, the Central Dispatch carrier app helps carriers stay efficient and connected on the go. Start managing your loads with more speed and simplicity today — download and try out the app!

Premium and Price Check Plus customers will soon have access to an estimated time to dispatch in the Central Dispatch Price Check Plus tool. Estimated time to dispatch will automatically be shown along with each pricing recommendation, allowing shippers to have clearer timing expectations and help determine how to price a load. This enhancement also helps carriers reduce idle time, and helps everyone on our platform forge stronger relationships with partners.
Learn more about the estimated time to dispatch in our latest article and user guide. Learn more about our Premium and Price Check Plus add-ons on our plans page.
This edition of Central Dispatch Highlights focuses on our upcoming Price Check Plus time to dispatch and ID verification enhancements.
View Estimated Time to Dispatch with Price Check Plus
Premium and Price Check Plus customers will soon be able to see an estimated time to dispatch for each pricing recommendation. This will help shippers determine where to price a load based on their scheduling needs, and allow carriers to reduce idle time.
Help Keep the Marketplace Safe with ID Verification
All customers will soon be required to complete ID verification in order to utilize Central Dispatch. ID verification will help us enhance security, reduce fraud, and foster more trust across the marketplace.
Price Check Plus just got even better! Premium customers will soon see a “time to dispatch” with each AI-powered pricing recommendation, indicating the estimated time it will take for a vehicle to ship.
This update will help shippers quickly determine where to price a load based on their timing needs, and spend less time re-listing loads at different prices. For carriers, it means having a clearer idea of timing expectations, reducing idle time, and building stronger business relationships. To get the shortest estimated ship times possible, we recommend posting loads in the morning or during the week, rather than in the evening or on weekends.
The update will automatically appear in the current Price Check Plus tool at launch, no extra action is required from you.

Dear Central Dispatch Customers,
We want to share an important update about something that reinforces our commitment to the security, transparency and integrity of your Central Dispatch experience.
For years, we’ve invested heavily in building Central Dispatch into the industry’s leading logistics marketplace. We’ve worked hard to earn your confidence through secure connections, transparent operations, and features you can rely on. Recently, we’ve had to take legal action to protect that integrity.
What Happened
We became aware that Super Dispatch was accessing Central Dispatch without authorization, obtaining customer login credentials, harvesting our data, and making false advertising claims about our platform’s capabilities and their products’ integration with our system. We first tried resolving this directly with Super Dispatch, but those efforts weren’t successful.
In April 2024, we filed a lawsuit to stop these practices. Even as we worked toward resolution, their problematic practices escalated. We’re pleased to report that a consent injunction—an order agreed to by both parties and adopted by the court—has been entered in federal court that puts permanent restrictions in place.
What This Means for You
The consent injunction requires Super Dispatch to permanently stop:
- Offering a web browser extension that interacts with the Central Dispatch platform
- Offering products to post loads on the Central Dispatch platform
- Obtaining Central Dispatch login credentials from Central Dispatch customers or from any other source
- Using known Central Dispatch information, ratings, and pricing data for their products
- Using unauthorized automated means to scrape data from Central Dispatch
- Falsely claiming or implying that Central Dispatch lacks certain features
- Falsely claiming or implying that Super Dispatch’s products integrate with or interact in any way with Central Dispatch or that Central Dispatch is affiliated in any way with Super Dispatch
This is part of our ongoing efforts to make sure you know exactly where your loads are posted, who has access to information, and that every tool you’re using to connect with Central Dispatch is authorized and secure. We will work to provide customers who may have been using unauthorized Super Dispatch functionality as much notice as possible before any changes occur, and we’re proactively helping clients transition to supported options.
Why This Matters
In an industry where fraud prevention and data protection are increasingly critical, how companies connect to platforms and treat information matters enormously. The outcome of this case reinforces that there’s a right way to compete: secure, honest and with integrity. Anything less undermines trust for everyone in the ecosystem.
We believe you deserve to work with partners who play by the rules—companies that compete through innovation rather than shortcuts. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to, and it’s the standard we expect from anyone operating in this space.
What’s Next
Central Dispatch operations continue uninterrupted, and we’re doubling down on our commitment to security, transparency, and innovation. You can expect continued investment in connected tools that make it easier to move vehicles faster and more efficiently, plus the peace of mind that comes from working with a platform that prioritizes your trust above all else.
If you have any questions about how this might impact your Central Dispatch experience, please reach out to our Customer Support team at 800-928-7869.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
Sincerely,
Lainey Sibble
Head of Central Dispatch
The Search feature in the Mobile App is similar to the web functionality. This provides carriers with a single source to handle most of their transportation tasks.
Navigating the Load Board from the Mobile App
- To open the load board, use the Load Board icon in the menu bar at the bottom of the Mobile App screen.
- From the Listings tab, find loads by selecting a saved search, adding filters, or simply by clicking Search Loads.
Filter Options:
- Once filters are applied and results are visible, then they can be removed by clicking the Filter & Sort button to make changes or by using the X next to the applied filter that needs removed.
Understanding Search Results
- Each vehicle card will display similar information to the web version including the pickup and delivery location details, the payment amount and method, shipper rating, and the vehicles per load.
NOTE: Driver roles are unable to access the load board with their permissions and can’t see the carrier payment amount.
Additional Load Details Page
When a carrier clicks into the load card, the additional details display for that load.
Load Specific Messages / Callouts
Worklist from the Mobile App
Any changes done on the Worklist on the web and on the mobile app will sync to the other.
Adding to the Worklist
To add a vehicle load to the Worklist the carrier can use the icon on the Listings Search Results tab or they can toggle from the Load Details Page.
Loads on the Worklist can be viewed on the Worklist tab and removed with the same actions that added them to the list.
Beginning in January, Central Dispatch is taking an important step toward creating a safer, more secure marketplace for all: identity verification. This process will help confirm every Central Dispatch account is linked to a real individual, add a strong layer of protection against unauthorized access, and make Central Dispatch first automotive logistics marketplace to implement ID verification.
All customers will soon need to complete ID verification to continue accessing the marketplace—and completing the process fast and easy! All you need is a smartphone or tablet with a camera and a government-issued ID. Please note that Central Dispatch is not collecting or storing your personal information.
To complete verification, you’ll follow a few simple steps before logging in, then continue using Central Dispatch as you usually do:
1. Go to the Central Dispatch log in page, and click “Start Verification” to begin the process.
2. Verify your legal name to continue.
3. Continue on your phone by receiving a link via SMS, or by scanning the QR code.
4. Follow the prompts to start verification and consent to verify ID.
5. Use your phone’s camera to scan the front and back of your government-issued ID.
6. Take a selfie to confirm you match the individual featured in the ID.
7. Return to the device where the process started to validate or edit your information.
8. That’s it! You’ll receive a success or failure message after completing.
9. If you receive a failure message, try one of these best practices to ensure best results:
- Don’t use the back button
- Complete the process at one time and limit delays in steps of the process
- Review information before proceeding to the next step
We all play a part in building a safer, more secure marketplace for shipping vehicles. Let’s keep working together to protect our industry from fraud and ensure Central Dispatch remains a trusted platform for everyone.
FAQs
Why is ID verification required?
To ensure the safety and integrity of our marketplace, we require ID verification to confirm that every account belongs to a real individual. This helps prevent fake accounts, protect against fraud, and keep the platform secure for all users.
Is my information secure?
Yes. We’ve partnered with a leading digital verification platform used by over 3,000 organizations to effectively roll this out. This platform uses encrypted technology and complies with industry security standards. Central Dispatch does not collect or store your personal information.
What do I need to complete verification?
All you need is a smartphone with a camera or tablet and a valid government-issued ID.
What happens if my verification fails?
If you receive a failure message, retry from step one. Ensure each photo has proper lighting, and that you’re following the prompts carefully. For more assistance, contact our support team at 800-928-7869.
Will this affect my ability to use Central Dispatch?
Yes—verification will be required in early 2026 in order to continue accessing the marketplace.
