Who This Is For
You manage containers in and out of GCT. You know what demurrage, per diem, and a bounced gate cost. This manual gives you a system to prevent all three.
You want your dispatch team running a consistent, documented process — not guessing. Use this as your onboarding manual and operational standard.
You dispatch your own truck or a small fleet. One avoided demurrage charge pays for this guide. Everything after that is money in your pocket.
You're entering drayage from FTL or another freight type. Port dispatch has its own rules. This manual walks every screen, every step, no assumptions.
What's Inside — 78 Pages
How the container chain works, key terminology, the weekly dispatch workflow, and how to vet carriers before you book a load.
Every screen — Login, Today Dashboard, Containers Module, Gate, and PreGate — with real screenshots and step-by-step walkthroughs.
The 8-stage dispatch workflow, word-for-word communication scripts, pre-dispatch checklist, top 10 mistakes, and a $2,142 real loss scenario.
Pre-Dispatch Checklist, ROI calculator, glossary of 20 key terms, and sources for ongoing reference — all print-ready.
The Problem This Book Solves
Chapter 15 of this manual reconstructs a real load, step by step, that cost a carrier $2,142 in combined demurrage and detention. The failure chain started with a pre-gate registration error. The dispatcher had been working the port for over a year. No one had ever shown them the correct workflow.
One avoided charge like that pays for this manual many times over.
