Field Dispatch Board
A visual operational dispatching board engineered for independent trade contractors across Kingsland, Marble Falls, Burnet, and the Highland Lakes basin. Monitor real-time technician positions, sequential arrival windows, and vehicle color coding with zero monthly software subscriptions.
Contractors use this tool to replace chaotic whiteboards and expensive enterprise platforms like ServiceTitan or Jobber. Office staff can drag and drop service calls onto available rigs, while field technicians receive synchronized stops directly on their mobile phones with turn-by-turn navigation.
How to Operate the Field Dispatch Board
Step 1
Log Service Calls
Enter customer details, select the service city, and assign directly to a truck or stage in the unassigned queue.
Step 2
Color Code Trucks
Click the color circle beside any driver to choose a custom vehicle color. Map pins and routes update instantly.
Step 3
Expand Routes & ETAs
Click any technician card to expand their active job, upcoming queued call, and auto-calculated sequential arrival time.
Step 4
Mobile Tech Sync
Preview how drivers receive calls in real time on their phones with one-touch GPS navigation and job signoff.
Dispatch & Calculation Methodology: ETAs shown on this board are calculated sequentially based on active call completion times plus estimated transit drive times across the Highland Lakes basin. The OpenStreetMap and Leaflet engine keep operations 100% free with zero monthly API costs. Turnkey Google Maps API integration with live satellite traffic and turn-by-turn mobile links is available for shops with dedicated Google Cloud keys. Custom interactive boards, drag-and-drop mechanics, and private Google Workspace syncing can be tailored for your specific shop.
Highland Lakes Contractor Fuel Rates & Transit Cost Intelligence
Fuel prices directly affect operating margins for trade contractors serving rural Hill Country routes. Dispatching trucks across Burnet, Llano, and Blanco counties requires active windshield management. This tracker monitors prevailing regular unleaded and highway diesel averages across the primary Highland Lakes transit corridors, helping office dispatchers route calls efficiently and guide technicians to the best refueling locations before returning to the shop.

How We Source & Compute Local Fuel Data: Regional averages are sampled across verified commercial fuel stops along TX-29, RM 1431, and US-281, referenced against the AAA Texas Public Fuel Index. Transit fuel expense projections use a baseline trade vehicle consumption index of 12.5 MPG for heavy three-quarter-ton service rigs (Ford F-250, Ram 2500, Chevy 2500HD) and commercial high-roof vans (Transit 350, ProMaster). To compute windshield transit cost on any route segment, the board applies:
(Corridor Transit Miles ÷ 12.5 MPG) × Prevailing Fuel Rate.
