Delivery, Bus & Shuttle
Commodity delivery fleets, bus lines, shuttle and paratransit operators: dispatch runs, watch every vehicle live, keep driver schedules covered, and document breakdowns and incidents while they happen. Resgrid replaces the radio-and-clipboard operation with one platform.
Free for up to 10 users & units • No contracts • Set up in about 15 minutes
Small and mid-size fleet operators run on radios, run sheets, and one dispatcher's memory — until a breakdown, a no-show, or an insurance claim exposes the gaps.
Customers, schools, and facilities call asking for ETAs. Dispatch keys the radio and hopes the driver answers. Nobody can see the fleet on a map.
Schedules on spreadsheets, swaps by text, and a 5 AM sick call that leaves a route uncovered until someone notices the complaints.
A truck dies mid-route: dispatch scrambles a rescue by phone, riders or freight sit waiting, and afterward there's no coherent record of what happened when.
Accidents, passenger incidents, and cargo claims come down to the driver's recollection versus everyone else's — with insurance premiums riding on the answer.
Dispatch, live AVL, driver scheduling, and incident documentation — priced per entity, not per vehicle per month.
Dispatch runs, pickups, and route changes as calls with locations, priorities, and notes. Drivers acknowledge in one tap; every assignment is timestamped end to end.
Every bus, truck, and van reports position via the Unit app or dedicated GPS hardware through built-in Traccar integration. Real ETAs for every caller, real routing for dispatch.
Build rotations, let drivers set availability and request trades, and see uncovered runs before they happen. Shift-based dispatch alerts only who's on duty.
Drivers attach GPS-stamped notes and photos to any call — accidents, passenger incidents, cargo damage, mechanical failures. The record exists before the tow truck arrives.
Messaging with delivery tracking plus an optional push-to-talk add-on — radio-style channels on driver phones without radio infrastructure or licensing.
Run volumes, response and completion times, and unit activity logs — exportable as PDF for clients, contracts, schools, and insurers.
Fleet operators typically stack telematics fees, radio systems, and paper — Resgrid folds them into one platform.

A 20-vehicle fleet commonly pays $6,000–$12,000 per year in telematics alone, plus radio costs. Resgrid's entity pricing covers vehicles and drivers together — typically at a fraction of stacked per-vehicle fees.
Answered ETAs, covered routes, and incident records that hold up when the claim arrives.

Savings estimates based on typical published fleet telematics and radio system pricing; results vary by fleet size and duty cycle. Resgrid tracks the credential side of DOT compliance — driver certifications like CDLs and DOT medical cards with expiration dates — while hours-of-service recording remains with your FMCSA-registered ELD provider.
