Phone
You do not have to be at the desk to run the building.
Conductor’s queue, the doors and their clocks, and the reports, on the phone already in your pocket.
On the floor
Approving the draft without walking back to the office.
Conductor’s queue
Approve the drafts without going back to the desk.
Every proposal names its customer, what it will write and the email it came from. Approve it on the dock and it is on the board before you have walked back.
39 waiting
The customer, the actions it will take, and where it came from.
Every door
The doors and their clocks, wherever you are standing.
Door number, trailer, customer and state, with detention flagged on the row it belongs to. The same live board the office is watching.
Door 32
Loading, and the carrier is already late.
Not just a read
Tap the row and move the trailer.
The trailer’s customer, carrier and orders open over the list, with the move as the action on the sheet. Nobody radios the office to have it entered for them.
Trailer 1001
Its orders, and the move, on one sheet.
Reports
Last night’s record, before you reach the office.
Yard moves, overnight check-ins and trailer rejections, filtered and exported the same way they are at the desk.
Overnight
Who checked in after hours, and what they dropped.
