Configure tiered pay and deductions once. Alvys runs the math on every trip.

What's new

Driver Settlements now supports four new mileage-based rate types. Two for driver pay. Two for deductions. Each one replaces a spreadsheet or manual calculation that used to live outside the system.

Configure rules directly in Alvys to help you pay drivers by mileage tiers, reward longer hauls with bracket pricing, and deduct based on miles driven or line haul.

Why it matters

Mileage-based pay structures used to mean external spreadsheets, copied formulas, and a dispatcher double-checking every settlement. Errors slipped through. Drivers disputed pay. Payroll cycles dragged.

These new rate types automate the math on every trip. Configure the rule once. Apply it to a driver. Alvys reads the trip mileage and applies the right rate or deduction. No reconciliation. No spreadsheets.

1. Flat Rates Based on Mileage Bands

Pay drivers a flat rate per tier of trip mileage.

Configure mileage bands like 0-50, 51-100, or 101-200 miles. Assign a flat rate to each tier. Apply the rate per trip or per load. Choose whether tiers calculate against Loaded Miles, Empty Miles, or Total Miles.

Example: A trip of 80 loaded miles falls in the 51-100 tier. The driver gets that tier's flat rate. No manual lookup. No formula sheet.

Use this when: You pay drivers a flat amount based on how far they drove, not a per-mile rate.

2. Bracket-Based Driver Pay

Pay one per-mile rate for the entire trip based on which bracket the total mileage falls into.

Configure brackets like 0-374, 375-449, or 450+ miles. Each bracket has its own per-mile rate. The system reads the total mileage and applies that bracket's rate to the whole trip.

Example: A 400-mile trip falls in the 375-449 bracket. The entire trip pays at that bracket's rate. No splitting across tiers.

Use this when: You reward longer hauls with a higher per-mile rate. Keep the math clean. One rate per trip, not blended.

3. Mileage-Based Deductions

Configure deductions in mileage tiers with automatic highest-tier selection.

Set deduction amounts that change based on trip mileage. Alvys selects the highest applicable tier and applies it to the trip. No manual entry. No surprise deductions.

Use this when: You charge drivers fees, escrow, or contributions that scale with mileage.

4. % of Line Haul Deduction

Calculate deductions as a percentage of the trip's line haul value.

Set a percentage. Alvys reads the trip's line haul revenue and applies the percentage as a deduction. The deduction adjusts automatically with the trip's revenue.

Use this when: You take a percentage cut of line haul for owner-operators, lease drivers, or revenue-share arrangements.

How to set it up

1. Open Driver Settlements.
2. Create or edit a pay or deduction rule.
3. Select the new rate type (Flat Rate by Mileage Band, Bracket-Based, Mileage-Based Deduction, or % of Line Haul).
4. Configure your tiers, brackets, or percentage.
5. Apply the rule to a driver.
6. Save.

A few notes

• Mileage tiers for pay can use Loaded Miles, Empty Miles, or Total Miles. Pick what matches your driver agreements.
• Bracket-Based pay calculates against total trip mileage only. No empty/loaded split.
• Highest-tier selection on deductions means: If a trip qualifies for multiple tiers, Alvys applies only the highest one. This prevents stacking.
• All four rate types respect existing driver assignments and pay rules. No data migration needed.

Users with Admin-level access can now create Tenant Views, which are Saved Views visible to every user on the account.

Last week, we launched a personal My View to the drivers page for each of your dispatchers to create their own preferred view. And now, admins can push standardized views to their entire team.

What's new:

• Tenant-level visibility: Set any view to "Tenant" so it appears for all users on the account.
• Admin-controlled: Only users with admin permissions can create, edit, or delete Tenant Views.
• Standardize workflows: Push proven filter setups to your whole dispatch team. Give new hires curated views on day one.
• Works alongside personal views: Tenant Views appear as a separate section in the ViewBar. Personal views (My View) stay untouched.

Why it matters: Less time rebuilding filters, more time moving loads. New hires get curated views on day one with Tenant Views, while each dispatcher has the flexibility to create their own personal views to support how they work best.

Coming soon: Saved Views will expand to additional grid pages across Alvys at the end of April and early May

What’s new

The Rounding dropdown on Fuel Surcharge Contracts now includes two new options:

• 3 Decimal Places rounds surcharge values to the thousandth (e.g., 0.265)
• 4 Decimal Places rounds surcharge values to the ten-thousandth (e.g., 1.2345)

Both options are available for Distance and Percentage contract types.

Why it matters

Some shippers require fuel surcharges calculated beyond two decimals. Choose the rounding level that matches your shipper’s contract terms. The selected precision carries through rating, billing, and rate confirmations.

How to use it

1. Navigate to Customer Contracts > Fuel Surcharge
2. Create a new contract or edit an existing one
3. Set the Type to Distance or Percentage
4. In the Rounding dropdown, select 3 Decimal Places or 4 Decimal Places
5. Enter your fuel matrix values. The system preserves full precision.
6. Save. All downstream calculations reflect your selection.

Note: Existing 2-decimal-place contracts work exactly as before. No action needed unless your shipper requires higher precision.

Give your team a faster way to start every shift. Saved Views lets each dispatcher save their preferred filters, sorting, and column layout on the Drivers List, then return to it with one click.

Dispatchers often rebuild the same filtered view every time they open the Drivers List. Saved Views eliminates that repetition.

What your team can do:

• Save any configuration: Preferred filters, sorting, and column layout all persist in "My View".
• Edit: Adjust your view without having to rebuild from scratch the next day.

"My View" is personal to each user and persists across sessions. No other user can see or modify it.

The Impact: Less time rebuilding filters, more time moving loads. Your team gets a consistent starting point every shift.

Coming soon: Admins will be able to create shared Tenant Views visible to all users on the account, releasing later this week. Saved Views will expand to additional grid pages at the end of April.

Planner has gotten dramatically better in the last two months. Here's the highlight reel.

Completely Rebuilt Filtering

The old filter bar is gone. Planner now uses modern, inline column filters — the kind of filtering users already know from spreadsheets. It's faster, more intuitive, and consistent across every column type.

• Shareable filter URLs: Bookmark or send a filtered view to a teammate, it loads exactly as you left it.
• Better text search: More flexible operators, smarter matching.
• Works the same everywhere: Text, number, date, and set filters all behave consistently.
• Auto-filtering by driver team: Equipment types in the Trips table now auto-filter when you switch teams.
• Coming soon: Additional filter operators and filters for all remaining columns across the Planner.

Notes — Right Where You Work

Dispatchers can now create, edit, and manage notes directly inside the Planner sidebars — no more leaving the workflow.

• Driver notes: A dedicated Notes tab on the driver sidebar, with a quick-launch icon on every driver row.
• Trip/load notes: Same treatment on the trip sidebar.
• Notes grouped by time period (Today, Yesterday, This Week…), so recent context is always at the top.
• The old popup modal is gone. Everything lives inline now.

Smarter Trip Sidebar

The trip sidebar now surfaces the info dispatchers need most — without digging.

• ETA to Next Stop: Displayed right on the upcoming stop card.
• Last Ping at a glance — clean "12 min ago" format with just the source (Samsara, Driver App, etc.).
• HOS-aware* ETAs under the hood — ETAs now factor in hours-of-service data via Trimble, with smart fallbacks when HOS isn't available. (*Alvys Intelligence feature)

Cleaner Defaults

• Every user now starts with a clean, standardized grid layout.

References Visibility

Both load custom references and trip custom references are now fully visible in the Planner grid. Customers who tag loads or trips with their own reference codes (PO numbers, BOLs, internal IDs, etc.) can see those fields as columns, and filter and sort by them — all without leaving the Planner.

New Columns & Visual Improvements

• Last Ping and Number of Stops columns added.
• Tighter row density — more data on screen with reduced row heights.
• Colors & emojis on custom references — users can visually tag trip and load custom references with colors and emojis for at-a-glance organization.

20+ Bugfixes

Wrong trailers, missing driver messages, broken temperature displays, brokerage trips leaking in, incorrect filter results — all fixed. The Planner is meaningfully more reliable than it was two months ago.

Bottom Line

The Planner is genuinely faster, more reliable, and easier to use day-to-day. The filtering overhaul alone changes how dispatchers interact with the product. And we're just getting started (timeline view, expanded filters for Trips and Drivers tables, and continued saved views enhancements are all in flight).

Table pages across Alvys are transitioning to share a unified design. Every table will use the same filters, sorting, column layouts, and actions. This reduces the time your team spends re-learning controls as they move between modules.

What's new:

• Consistent grid experience: Trucks, Trailers, Accounting Error Transactions, and E-Checks now use the same grid layout. Your team uses the same filters, sorting, and actions everywhere, so there's less re-learning as they move between modules.
• Faster performance: Rebuilt with modern front-end architecture for faster load times and smoother interactions across every grid.
• Faster onboarding: New hires learn one grid pattern and apply it across the entire system. Experienced users move between modules without adjusting.

Rollout schedule:

Next Steps: No action required. Updates roll out automatically. Your data stays exactly where it is. If your account has early access enabled, check the Trucks and Trailers grids to see the new experience today.

We released a major upgrade to how driver availability works in Dispatch Planner to eliminate manual PTA tracking and give your planning team data they can actually trust.

Driver availability is now calculated automatically using two configurable parameters: Minimum Available Duration and Average Dwell Time. Instead of relying on appointment window end times, availability now factors in realistic turnaround so you're seeing when a driver is actually free, not just when a load delivers.

You'll also notice new columns in the Drivers table:

• Available For — how long the driver is available (e.g., 14h 30m, or ∞ if no next commitment)
• Next Planned At — when their next commitment starts
• Next Planned In — where the next commitment is
• Available In (formerly Final Stop) — where the driver becomes available, synced with the new calculation

Why it matters

This was the #1 gap preventing operations from trusting Planner availability data. Local ops need 1-hour windows, regional needs 12 hours, long-haul needs days — now each operation can define what "available" actually means for them.

How to configure it

Settings are available at three levels: Alvys defaults, tenant-level overrides, and fleet-level overrides. Your admin can adjust Minimum Available Duration and Average Dwell Time under Dispatch Planner Settings. We've set sensible defaults, but you'll get the most value by tuning these to match how your operation actually runs.

Modernize how your tech stack communicates with Alvys. With Webhooks for tender events, Alvys can now push information to your external systems, such as middleware or ERPs, in real-time. This ensures your data stays in sync whenever a tender is modified.

The impact:

• Eliminate the tender sync gap: Your internal dashboards and custom ERPs sync with Alvys in real time, ensuring your team never works with outdated data.
• Act on exceptions fast: Respond to tender status changes or new opportunities when they happen.

Having structured, asset-specific data for your trucks and trailers is critical to maintaining compliance, operational control, and maintenance efficiency at scale. By centralizing truck and trailer information, you minimize errors, strengthen audit readiness, and gain real-time insights that support informed decision-making while reducing manual workload across your operation.

What’s new:

• Track and report on the operational data that matters: Create up to 20 custom fields for each truck and trailer. Capture details such as inspection reminders, maintenance intervals, ownership information, lease terms, or utilization status.
• Find asset-specific data fast: Search, filter, and sort truck and trailer lists using custom references, giving your team instant access to the operational and compliance information required for proactive oversight and reliable audits.
• Cleaner operations and stronger reporting: Custom References help you to unify your fleet data in one place, creating a single source of truth that eliminates data silos and manual workarounds. Easily pull custom fields into Custom Reports for real-time, fleet-wide visibility on maintenance, compliance, and asset lifecycle status.

Admins can create and edit Custom References in Settings > Custom References.
