Key capabilities
Same SMS-first dock scheduling — tailored to this industry.
Yard slot staging
Capacity-aware trailer windows maximize throughput — carriers stop circling a full yard.
One dispatch link per yard
3PLs share a branded link so carriers self-book check-in windows without calling the gate.
SMS yard confirmation
Drivers claim a slot, enter their plate, and get gate instructions by text — no app required.
Live queue visibility
Yard managers see inbound trailers, late replies, and open dock doors before the queue backs up.
How it works
Calendly for your loading dock — from one coordinator link to verified arrivals in minutes.

Pin your loading dock
Drop a pin on your venue map, set 30-minute arrival windows, and define staging bays — one calendar for every vendor.
- Step 2
Send one scheduling link
Share a single link with caterers, AV, staging, and every independent vendor. No spreadsheets, no group texts.
- Step 3
Vendors claim via SMS
Drivers click the link, pick a slot, enter their plate — no app download, no account. Confirmation + QR code arrives by text.
- Step 4
Scan at the gate
Gate supervisors scan plate or QR with their phone, verify instantly, and point trucks to the right bay. Traffic keeps moving.
