For shipping & receiving facilities
Drivers scan a QR code and check in from their cab. Dispatch sees every arrival on a live queue and texts the drivers who opt in the moment a load is ready. No app, no accounts, English or Spanish.
A poster at the yard opens a mobile form. Drivers check in in under a minute — nothing to install.
Every check-in lands on dispatch’s screen instantly — no phone, no re-keying, no missed arrivals.
Dispatch taps “Load ready” and drivers who asked to be texted get one. No more waiting by the phone.
The whole driver flow — form, confirmation, and texts — works in both languages, chosen with one tap.
From the cab to the dock in three steps.
Posters at parking and the shack open the check-in form — no app, no account.
Name and load number — a mobile number only if they want a text. The arrival shows on dispatch’s live queue at once.
Dispatch marks the load ready. Drivers who opted in get a text; the rest get a call or a knock on the cab.
Ringdown — the service Phineworks Inc. operates under the Ringdown name — sends transactional SMS about a single yard visit: a check-in confirmation and a “load ready” notification, about 1–2 messages per visit. We never send marketing texts. Message & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help.
Texts are optional and always have been opt-in. The check-in form carries a separate checkbox, unticked by default, labelled “Text me when my load is ready”, and the mobile number field is optional. A driver who leaves the box unticked is checked in exactly the same and is never messaged — dispatch calls them or walks out to the truck instead. Agreeing to texts is never a condition of checking in or of being loaded.
See the opt-in for yourself on the sample driver form. Full details in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
Ringdown is running a pilot at a Salinas produce yard, alongside the shack phone rather than instead of it.
