New enhancements like these don’t just help you transport vehicles on Central Dispatch faster, easier, and more profitably — they future proof your business, helping you stay flexible as new challenges and changes take place in the industry.

But we’re not stopping there. We’re continuing to listen to your feedback, and using it to deliver even more valuable enhancements in 2025!

Load Board Enhancements: We’ve streamlined the load board to eliminate older listings after 30 days, ensuring “ready to move” loads are prioritized for carriers and helping shippers quickly attract the right carriers.

Vehicle Count Methodology: Each vehicle you post will count toward your tier limit, even if it is part of a multi-vehicle listing or dispatch. This ensures a truly end-to-end process from listing the vehicle, to finding a carrier, to fulfilling the delivery. For more details on how this impacts your account, read the announcement post here. 

Real-Time Tracking: Shippers are now able to receive live location and status updates delivered straight to their devices, including GPS location, ETA, eBOL information, and more, as long as carriers are using the Central Dispatch app. This allows shippers to easily stay on top of shipments and streamline communication, while saving carriers time by not needing to provide manual status updates. It’s the best way to strengthen relationships between shippers and carriers, and maximize confidence when transporting vehicles. 

Price Check and Price Check Plus: Shippers and carriers can utilize insights using Price Check to ensure a fair price for each individual vehicle. And now powered by our Market Intelligence transportation data, you can leverage AI-driven data to predict the optimal price to move your load so you can make informed decisions to maximize profitability. Get access to not only listed prices, dates and dispatched information for previous loads, but final pricing and date dispatched data to make more informed decisions.
