Driver & Crew Scheduling for Transportation
Routes don't wait. CrewHR helps trucking, courier, and logistics companies schedule drivers, track hours-of-service, and coordinate depot operations — all from one platform.
Scheduling Challenges in Transportation & Logistics
These are the problems your team deals with every week. CrewHR is built to solve them.
DOT Hours-of-Service Compliance
Federal hours-of-service rules are strict and the penalties for violations are severe. Manual tracking leaves too much room for error.
Route-Based Scheduling
Drivers don't work fixed shifts — they run routes. Scheduling has to account for route duration, loading times, and mandatory rest stops.
Relay & Handoff Coordination
Long-haul routes with relay drivers require precise handoff scheduling. A missed handoff delays the entire chain.
Depot Shift Management
Warehouse and depot staff work in shifts that need to align with incoming and outgoing loads. Mismatches cause bottlenecks and overtime.
Schedule Drivers by Route, Not Just by Shift
Assign drivers to routes based on availability, qualifications, and hours remaining. See every driver's status at a glance and fill open routes quickly when someone is unavailable.
- Route-based scheduling with estimated drive times
- Driver qualification and license tracking
- Available hours remaining per driver
- Open route broadcasting to eligible drivers
