Printing & Exporting
Digital Dispatch offers multiple ways to get your schedule out of the app and into the hands of your team — printed sheets for the field, PDFs for email, and Excel files for offline reference.
Print view
The print view generates a formatted dispatch sheet for a single date, designed for printing or saving as PDF.
Choosing a layout
The print view supports 2 layouts:
- Crew layout — Organized by crew. Each crew section shows the driver, truck, and assigned loads. Best when your team is organized by crew and each crew needs their own sheet.
- Load layout — Organized by load. Each section shows a load with its assigned resources. Best when you need a load-by-load breakdown for operations tracking.
Printing a dispatch sheet
- In any dispatch view, click the Print button in the toolbar
- Select the date you want to print
- Choose the layout (crew or load)
- Optionally filter by branch to include only specific locations
- Your browser’s print dialog opens automatically
From the print dialog, you can:
- Send directly to a printer
- Save as PDF by selecting “Save as PDF” as the destination
Tips for better prints
- Use landscape orientation for wider dispatch sheets
- Check the “Background graphics” option in your browser’s print settings to include status colors and badges
- Each project starts on its own section for clean page breaks
Daily Dispatch Excel export
The Daily Dispatch grid can be exported as an Excel spreadsheet.
- Switch to the Daily Dispatch view
- Set your date range
- Click the Excel export button in the toolbar
- The file downloads to your computer
The Excel export includes every column visible in the grid: truck, driver, load, project, trailers, commodities, escorts, origin, destination, and notes. Use it for offline reference, sharing with partners, or importing into other tools.
Daily Dispatch PDF export
You can also print the Daily Dispatch grid directly:
- Switch to the Daily Dispatch view
- Click the Print button
- Use your browser’s print dialog to print or save as PDF
This prints the grid as-is, including any active search filters. Clear the search bar first if you want the full unfiltered report.
