We're kicking off something new.
This first edition highlights the most impactful new features we’ve released since the start of the year — the updates we’re most excited for you to try because they’ll have a big impact on how you work in Toro.
Going forward, the Monthly Haul will become your regular roundup of everything new in Toro — all the latest releases, improvements, and updates.
But first, here are the standout updates we think you'll love 👇
Filters on the Dispatch Timeline
Dispatchers are constantly managing a high volume of activity—drivers running different routes, customers asking for updates, and shifting priorities throughout the day. This update makes it easier to filter down and see exactly what matters, like who’s going to a specific location or handling loads for a certain customer. It’s not just about staying organized—it also helps you respond faster. When a customer calls asking, “What’s still left for me today?” you can give a clear, accurate answer in seconds. It’s a smarter way to stay on top of the day and deliver better service at the same time.
Filtered Loads Summary (Roll-Up View)
In a fast-paced dispatch environment, staying on top of the day’s workload shouldn’t require jumping between screens or manually counting loads. We added summarized views at the top of the timeline to give dispatchers a real-time snapshot of load volume, broken down by type or status—such as dispatched, in transit, or delivered. This makes it easier to answer key questions like how many loads still need to be assigned, what’s in progress for a specific customer, or whether the team is on track for the day. By keeping this summary visible and in context, dispatchers can make faster, more informed decisions without disrupting their workflow.
New Bulk Actions on the Orders List Page
Your dispatchers’ time is valuable—they should be focused on keeping freight moving, not stuck doing repetitive updates. Bulk actions let them update key details like statuses, times, notes, and rates across multiple loads in just a few clicks. It reduces busywork, cuts down on errors, and helps the team stay focused on what actually drives the operation forward.
Profitability Reports
Making smart decisions starts with having the right data. We refined our profitability reporting to give a clearer, more accurate view of performance—whether you're tracking a single driver or your entire fleet. Revenue and expenses are now fairly split for team drivers, key payouts like driver and carrier pay are reflected directly in reports, and filters align with how work actually happens on the road. Plus, we’ve excluded deductible expenses to give you a more precise view of true profit. It’s all about making sure your numbers match reality—so you can act on them with confidence.
Driver Fleet Groups in Profitability Reports
Not every driver runs the same routes, equipment, or schedules—so analyzing them as one group doesn’t tell the full story. We made it possible to segment drivers into custom groups based on what matters to your operation, like dispatcher, region, or equipment type. This gives you sharper insight into performance trends, helps surface what’s working (and what’s not), and makes it easier to hold the right teams accountable.
“Each” as a New Unit for Commodities & Charges
With new types of materials, we need new types of units to keep track of it all. You asked for it, we built it. Not all freight fits neatly into tons or bushels. Customers running pallet-based or headcount-driven operations told us they needed a way to track and bill by the item—so we added support for “Each” as a unit type. Now, whether you're moving pallets, cattle, or individual goods, you can track and charge in a way that actually fits your workflow.
Commodity Quantity Sums on Invoices
Some customers prefer a clean, line-by-line invoice. Others want a clear summary of how much was hauled. Instead of choosing one approach, we made it configurable. Now you can choose to show total quantities by commodity type on multi-load invoices—giving you the flexibility to match each customer’s preference and improve clarity where it counts.
Managing Accessorial Charges in Toro
Accessorial charges are a common source of billing errors and miscommunication. Customers needed a way to apply these charges consistently, without relying on memory or manual entry. So we built configurable accessorial rates—both global and shipper-specific—to reduce mistakes, speed up billing, and ensure every invoice is accurate and aligned with customer agreements.
Bulk Dispatch from the Timeline View
We heard it loud and clear—dispatchers were tired of sending out texts one load at a time, and drivers were overwhelmed by message overload. Truth is, we’ve been there too. Managing fast-moving operations needs better tools, not more workarounds. That’s why we built bulk dispatch with one clear, consolidated message per driver. Now, dispatchers can stay in their flow, and drivers get exactly what they need—no confusion, no clutter.
Create Dispatch Plan
Coordinating daily routes can get messy—especially when juggling mixed loads, regular saved lanes, and multiple drivers. The Daily Dispatch Plan brings it all together into one streamlined flow. You can build a full day’s schedule from saved lanes, set quantities, and assign it all at once. It’s especially helpful when a group of drivers runs the same schedule—just assign them all to the same plan in one step. No more piecing things together load by load.
