Dispatch
Carrier matching, BOL, status — without the spreadsheet.
From accepted order to delivered load — one screen, zero context-switching.
Brokers juggle three to four tools to dispatch a single load: a loadboard for posting, a separate carrier-search tool, a BOL generator, a notes app for status updates. Spreadsheets fall behind reality. Double-bookings happen. Agents lose hours every day to copy-paste between systems.
Carlink unifies the dispatch flow. Search carriers across Carlink's database, Super Dispatch, and Central Dispatch in a single query. Generate BOLs and dispatch sheets with one click. Webhook events keep status updated in real time. When a carrier accepts an offer, Carlink automatically un-posts from every other loadboard you used.
What you actually get.
Everything Dispatch ships with.
Concrete capabilities you can verify with your own data on day one.
- Unified search across Carlink + Super Dispatch + Central Dispatch databases
- Post to all three loadboards in one click — Carlink, SD, CD
- Carrier verification fields: MC, USDOT, insurance status, prior dispatches with you
- Auto-generated BOL + Super Dispatch dispatch sheet in PDF
- Webhook status sync (typical latency under 5 seconds)
- Background sync runs every 10 minutes as fallback
- Auto-un-posting on carrier acceptance prevents double-booking
- 52,897 loads dispatched on Carlink across six brokerages
- Status mapping: Pending → Dispatched → Picked Up → Delivered → Hold → Canceled
Three steps. That's it.
Order accepted
Carlink pre-ranks suggested carriers by past lane experience with you, current rate-per-mile, insurance status, and rating. The agent sees the best options first.
Search, select, send the offer
Filter by USDOT, MC, insurance status, rate range. Pick a carrier → BOL generates → dispatch offer ships through your loadboard of choice. One modal, one click.
Status flows back automatically
Carrier marks Picked Up / Delivered → webhook updates Carlink in seconds → customer gets a 'dispatched' or 'delivered' SMS + email automatically.
How a typical day looks.
11 AM Tuesday: a Phoenix → Dallas Honda Civic is accepted. Carlink ranks twelve carriers from your past Phoenix–Dallas lane. You pick Lone Star Logistics — six prior loads with you, $1.92/mile last time. Click 'Dispatch via Super Dispatch'. The BOL emails to their dispatcher. At 2 PM the carrier accepts; Carlink un-posts from Central Dispatch automatically and texts your customer 'Your car is dispatched, ETA Thursday'. Thursday 4 PM the carrier marks 'Delivered' on Super Dispatch — your dashboard updates inside four seconds and the customer gets their final invoice link by email.
