The carrier's side

In depth

Carrier appointments, explained.

Book

Carriers book with their papers attached

A carrier books a visit in the Partner app or the portal, adds the driver's name, phone and e-mail, and attaches the papers the yard needs. The yard sees the booking before the truck arrives.

Messages

One thread per visit

The yard, the carrier and the driver talk on the visit. Messages show as sent, delivered and read. Document requests close when the paper arrives, gate-in and gate-out notices go out on their own, and an e-mail follows when a message stays unread for too long. Only staff of that site can see the thread.

Arrival

The driver arrives with a pass

The booked driver receives a one-time arrival pass. The gate scans it once and the visit starts from a record both sides already agree on.

Questions

Straight answers, in full.

How does a carrier book?

In the Partner app: papers first, then the gate, the load and a time from your open slots. The request arrives complete.

Is the carrier checked before the booking is accepted?

Your rules check every booking, and authority and insurance are checked against FMCSA records. Trusted carriers are confirmed at once and everyone else waits for one click.

Do carriers need a separate portal?

No extra system. floDock Partners is the carrier view on the same visit record gate and yard teams update — booking, status, and documents in one place.

Can the yard review appointments before confirming?

Yes. Your yard configures appointment handling — Auto confirm or Review first. The flow below shows what each setting does when a carrier submits.
