Challenges
A private fleet is only an advantage if someone's actually optimizing it every day.
Keep Every Driver and Asset Working, Not Waiting
Assign drivers, tractors, trailers, helpers, and trainees from a driver-centric workspace that validates hours of service, equipment compatibility, and availability instead of relying on manual dispatch coordination.
See Every Trip As It Happens
Bring tracking from OBC, ELD, and external providers into trip execution through EDI and APIs. Arrival, departure, ETA, ETD, position, and other trip events stay visible as conditions change, so dispatchers can respond while there is still time to protect the outcome.
Act On Exceptions While There’s Still Time To Recover
The Dispatcher Agent identifies trips missing required driver assignments, shipments not loaded before scheduled dispatch, and in-transit stops at risk of late delivery, then guides remediation through existing dispatch workflows.
Run Private Fleet and Purchased Transportation As One Strategy
When paired with Transportation Management, Dispatch Management extends the transportation strategy into owned-fleet execution. Driver hours of service, tractor, trailer, and trip decisions stay connected to the broader use of contracted carrier capacity.

Features
Running a Private Fleet Takes More Than a Dispatch Board
With Manhattan's Fleet Management Software, you can manage the full trip lifecycle from check-in through debrief, with real-time tracking, flexible trip control, and AI-assisted insights that keep private-fleet execution connected to the transportation operation around it.
Dispatch
Assign the right driver, tractor and trailer to every trip with confidence.
Manage driver check-in and check-out while tracking shifts, schedules, assigned trips, shipments, and empty moves in one workspace, giving dispatchers a current view of driver availability and workday status.
Assign or reassign drivers, tractors, trailers, helpers, and trainees, validating against hours-of-service, calendars, equipment compatibility, and terminal alignment.
Use dispatcher-driven dispatch, single-click dispatch, driver self-dispatch, or external trip dispatch based on how the operation runs, including releasing trips to external systems for execution.
Enforce hours-of-service requirements through configurable driving rules for maximum duty time, driving time, and rest requirements, validating assignments before trips are released.
Execution
Track every trip in real time and reshape it as conditions change on the road.
Receive trip tracking from OBC and ELD systems, external providers, EDI, and APIs, including arrival, departure, ETA, ETD, position, temperature, and other execution events.
Add or remove shipments, resequence stops, split or merge trips, create relays and manage empty movements as execution needs change on the road.
Surface Driver Assignment Insights for trips missing required drivers, Load Ready Insights for shipments not loaded before dispatch, and On-Time Risk Insights for stops at risk of late delivery, then guide remediation through existing workflows.
Add empty stops and movements, remove unnecessary return segments, and manage deadhead and backhaul repositioning without losing visibility to the asset.
Debrief
Close every trip with a controlled debrief and complete execution record.
Compare planned and actual dispatch, arrival, departure, activity, and odometer information in a structured debrief before transitioning the trip to completed.
Maintain trip change logs, terminal associations, driving-rule application, and asset-feasibility controls to preserve auditability from dispatch through completion.
Record missing or corrected tracking events and manual activities such as breaks, wash, wait time, and loading so the final trip record reflects what actually happened.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most fleet management platforms combine telematics and GPS tracking, preventive maintenance and work order management, parts and vehicle inventory, fuel management, and compliance tools like DVIR, hours of service, and ELD records. Manhattan's fleet management software works alongside that stack as the optimization and dispatch layer, putting that data to work in daily planning.
No. Manhattan's fleet management software works with the telematics, GPS tracking, dash cams, and geofencing tools you already run, whether that's Samsara, Geotab, Motive, Verizon Connect, Fleetio, or another provider, and puts that data to work in route, driver, and asset decisions.
A TMS plans and executes freight movement across every carrier and mode a shipper uses. Fleet management software focuses on the trucks, trailers, and drivers a company owns and operates itself. Manhattan's fleet management software runs as part of Manhattan Active Transportation Management, so a private fleet and outside carriers are planned, dispatched, and measured on one platform.
A DVIR is the pre- and post-trip inspection record a driver files on a vehicle's condition, and it's one of the records DOT and FMCSA review alongside hours-of-service and ELD logs during an audit. Manhattan's fleet management software generates driver and vehicle maintenance logs automatically, so inspection-related records stay organized with each dispatched load.
Maintenance is one of the largest variables in total cost of ownership, and most of it comes down to timing. Manhattan's fleet management software feeds vehicle diagnostics and maintenance alerts from your existing telematics data into the same system that schedules drivers and loads, so service gets planned around routes ahead of time. That protects uptime, service history, and the asset records that matter at resale.
Route optimization looks at every load, driver, and asset together, so drivers move from one load to the next with less waiting and trailers run full more often.
Driver behavior monitoring tracks events like hard braking and speeding in real time and routes around accident-prone areas, while AI agents flag hazards for review. Safety scores and on-time performance improve together.
Manhattan's fleet management software is built for companies that run their own private fleet. Because it runs on Manhattan Active Transportation Management, a fleet can add drivers, lanes, and sites on the same platform as it grows.
Yes. Manhattan Active Transportation Management, which includes fleet management, was named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Transportation Management Systems for the eighth consecutive year.
