TrucksSlot gives warehouse managers and distribution center operations teams real-time dock scheduling software where carriers book their own time slots so your yard stays orderly, your staff stays productive, and your plant manager stops calling.





You built the schedule. You allocated the forklift teams. You positioned dock staff across the morning shift. And then three trucks arrived simultaneously, two of them weren’t on the schedule for this morning, and one is still queuing on the public road outside the gate.
The police have been called before. The plant manager has walked out to the yard before. The health and safety incident report is still on your desk.
Inbound freight visibility is the gap at the core of this problem. Your dock schedule tells you what should happen. It tells you nothing about what is actually approaching. The carrier knows. The driver knows. By the time you find out, the truck is already at your gate.
Your distribution center is the last physical bottleneck in the entire supply chain. Every delay upstream arrives at your dock and expects you to absorb it. What you actually need is to see it coming before it arrives.
on schedule
Three shifts that turn a reactive loading dock into a precision operation.
01. Carrier Availability
Trucks queue on public roads. Police get called. Plant management walks out to the yard. The same chaos every peak day.
Every truck has a pre-booked slot, arrives at its assigned gate on time, and moves in without queuing. Zero yard congestion.
One late truck cascades into three disrupted dock slots, an overtime shift, and a forklift team standing idle.
Live ETA updates trigger automatic dock rescheduling before the delay reaches your yard. Your team responds, not reacts.
Every carrier time slot goes through the coordinator manually. 40 calls per day just to book dock windows.
Carriers book their own slots through a self-service portal. The coordinator manages exceptions, not every booking.
Carrier self-booking, live ETA monitoring, and zero queuing. GO LIVE in 7 weeks.
Key Capabilities
Drag-and-drop visual plan of every dock slot: inbound and outbound, all shifts, all gates simultaneously. Works on tablet, phone, or desktop. The shift supervisor has the same real-time view as the logistics director.
Carriers log into their own time slot booking portal and select available dock windows. They see open slots. They book what fits their route. Your coordinator reviews, confirms exceptions, and focuses on operations, not on taking booking calls.
From the moment a truck is assigned to a booking, TrucksSlot tracks its position and estimated arrival time in real time. Delays are visible hours before they arrive at your yard. Your team has time to respond, not just react.
When a truck's ETA changes beyond threshold, the system flags affected dock slots automatically. You get an alert with the option to reschedule, notify the next driver, or redistribute dock staff.
TrucksSlot works standalone or as the real-time execution layer on top of your existing WMS or ERP. One integration connects your inbound purchase orders to live truck arrivals.
Every truck arrival, loading start, loading completion, and departure, timestamped, logged automatically, exportable in one click. Carrier performance reviews take minutes. Compliance audits have a defensible record.
Every metric below is drawn from live platform data and third-party validation. No projections. No marketing estimates. Real results from real carriers.
Queuing incidents. Carriers arrive when their dock slot is ready, not before.
Truck arrival accuracy validated in live dock operations after self-booking and slot discipline were introduced.
Capacity security. Freight jobs covered by contracted carriers, every time.
User rating from warehouse floor staff who use TrucksSlot daily.
Certified. Your freight data stays within your trusted carrier network.
“TrucksOnTheMap made our freight management best-in-class. Speed, transparency and premium control.”
“The latest technology & beautiful design in every tool we create. So, road freight becomes fun again.”
“With the online procurement we managed to cut costs and minimize the risk of disruption in our supply chain.”
Real concerns from real decision-makers. We’ve heard them all, and every one of them has been resolved in production.
Apollo Tyres ran exactly this scenario. Carriers adopted self-booking faster than the internal team, because predictable dock times mean their drivers don’t wait three hours in a queue. When you remove friction from their day, they do it willingly.
TrucksSlot handles multi-gate, multi-shift, simultaneous inbound and outbound scheduling. The drag-and-drop interface runs on a phone from the warehouse floor. If Apollo Tyres’ operation fits, yours does too.
TrucksSlot interfaces with SAP, Oracle, and custom APIs. It runs standalone or as the real-time inbound visibility layer on top of your existing warehouse management system. Your IT team gets a documented API, not a year-long project.
4.7-star user rating. Apollo Tyres reports that warehouse floor staff actively prefer TrucksSlot because the live arrival view removes the “who’s next?” uncertainty from every shift. Adoption is days. Training is hours.
TrucksSlot is not a TMS. It is a single-purpose dock scheduling and inbound freight visibility tool. One screen. One job. There’s nothing to learn except where to look. Staff are operational on day one.
We don’t do generic product tours. Send us your gate layout before the call and we’ll configure TrucksSlot around your actual dock structure. You see your own operation running without queues in 30 minutes.
TrucksOnTheMap is the all-in-one logistics platform that helps shippers, carriers, and warehouses coordinate dock scheduling, gain real-time freight visibility, and optimise time slot management across Europe. From inbound coordination to last-mile tracking, we bring transparency to every mile.
