Know what's about to fail, and who can save it. Anchor reads the TMS data you already have, checks the whole board in about a second, and shows every truck that can legally and physically still make the save.

Built on a real night desk, for the people who work one. No rip-and-replace, no new habits for drivers, nothing changes in your TMS.
The routine majority clears itself; your desk works the exceptions. Loads rank by what a failure costs, not just how late it runs.
Federal hours-of-service (49 CFR 395), the delivery window, deadhead miles: the math is on the screen, so a veteran dispatcher can see the call and overrule it.
Anchor refuses to recommend an hours-of-service violation, and every recommendation is stamped with the rules in force at that moment. An audit receipt, standard.
When no truck can legally make the window, Anchor says so instead of inventing one. That honesty is what makes its green numbers trustworthy.
A field-mapping layer reads any TMS export format, read-only. No integration project to start, and IT can shut it off in one click.
Stale data, missing fields, a board gone old: the screen says so, in plain words. A calm green board that is wrong is the worst failure this product can have.
No implementation project. No new hardware. One dispatcher can be working a smarter board tonight.
The load and driver files your TMS already produces. Anchor's field mapping reads any format, read-only. Your data never gets touched.
Every load assessed in about a second: breakdowns, blown driver hours, late pickups, and the loads queued behind a stuck truck. The routine majority auto-clears.
For each load in trouble, a ranked list of every truck that can legally and physically still make it, with the math shown. Your dispatcher approves everything. Nothing sends on its own.
No percentage of your savings, no per-seat games. One flat monthly rate for the whole desk, sized to your fleet.
Over 1,000 trucks? Talk to us. Every rate is flat: no per-seat fees, no percentage of savings, no surprise line items.
Every engagement starts with a four-week shadow pilot: one dispatcher, running alongside your normal process, nothing changes in the TMS. It ends with arithmetic your CFO can audit, recovered revenue minus rescue miles at your own cost per mile, deliberately understated.
If the math doesn't clearly beat the price, don't buy it. That's the deal.
A working session with the founder, a night dispatcher with six years in trucking operations and a CDL. Bring your worst night; we'll show you what Anchor would have caught.
No. Anchor reads the export files your TMS already produces, read-only. There is no integration project to start a pilot, drivers change nothing, and IT can shut it off in one click. A deeper TMS connector comes later, when you want it, not as a condition of starting.
It reads your load and driver files to assess the board, and it writes nothing back. Your data is used to run your board and for nothing else. You can export everything and walk away at any time.
Never. Anchor is built on the federal hours-of-service rules (49 CFR 395) and refuses to recommend a violation, even when that means telling you no truck can make the window. Every recommendation is stamped with the exact rules in force when it was made.
No. A human approves everything. Anchor finds the options, ranks them, and shows the math; your dispatcher makes the call. The software does the typing so your people can do the thinking.
Four weeks, one dispatcher, running in shadow alongside your normal process. At the end you get the arithmetic: loads Anchor flagged, saves it found, recovered revenue minus rescue miles at your own cost per mile, deliberately understated. If the number doesn't clearly beat the price, don't buy it.
