It is thirty below, a line let go and the machine is sitting. Take the call at any hour, from a bush road with no address, give a real arrival time, and bill the office instead of the operator.
Online booking
A contractor calls three trucks and goes with whoever commits first. Your page offers your real next opening, the middle of the night included.
Learn moreSmart scheduling
Planned changeouts booked out a month, a cracked hose by nine. Drag the day around on one board and everyone already booked hears about it.
Learn moreA hose van does not run a diary, it runs a list of machines that are not working. Called in, rolling, on site, going again: the stage is what the contractor rings to ask about, so it is the first thing the page shows.
Pro ranks your open slots by the driving each one adds, so the arrival time you give at two in the morning is one you can actually hit.
Open slots come back in order of how much extra driving each one puts on the truck, with the best marked, instead of as a flat list.
Availability is whatever you set. Run a twenty four hour phone and the page offers night slots; if you do not, it says so up front.
A roadside hoist hose and a full fleet changeout are not the same length, so the opening offered matches the work being booked.
A lot of your work has no address at all. Take the gate and the landmark, and keep the site under the customer so the next call already knows the way in.
Closest address plus what actually gets you there: which road, which landing, who has the key and whether the truck will make it in.
One outfit, six blocks. Each keeps its own access and orientation notes instead of everything piling into one long account note.
Set the areas you cover. Anything past them is turned away on the page instead of landing in your run and getting undone by phone.
No callback, no haggling over a rate at that hour. A time, a machine and directions somebody can actually follow in the dark.
Hose spec, fitting type and pressure rating sit against that unit, so the next call about it is a two-minute stock check instead of a guess.
A second van is only worth having if the callout reaches whoever is actually on. Each fitter has their own hours, and the board honours them.
Built for your trade
A whole crew standing while it sits, a long way up a bush road. The landing and the track notes matter as much as the fitting does.
The most time-critical work you run, and the reason the truck carries stock. Booked at a real opening instead of promised a callback.
A municipal fleet that cannot leave a route unfinished at two in the morning. Their yards and unit numbers all on one card.
A day lost is a crop at risk and the field is a gate off a grid road, not an address you can type into a booking form.
The week everything lets go at once. Bookings you can turn away when the run is full rather than promise and then miss.
Often has to move before it can be worked on right. The hauler stays one customer with every unit held underneath it.
The work that pays properly. A fleet through the shop with hoses replaced before they fail, booked ahead and quoted as a block.
The pit keeps its own access and orientation notes, so a second call there does not start with a phone call about the gate.
Quick, indoor and constant. Booked into a genuine gap rather than squeezed in and then quietly forgotten by the afternoon.
Three ways to price the same downtime: get it moving, do the pair that always go together, or go through the machine before freeze-up.
Hose length, fitting type and pressure rating are their own lines, so a questioned number traces straight back to the part it came from.
The failed hose alone next to the pair that always go together, so the customer picks while the machine is still sitting there.
The quote leaves your phone before you are back on the highway, which is usually before the office has finished its downtime report.
After-hours rate, a longer hose run, cold-weather cover, a second hose off the same block. Checking one moves the quoted total instead of a re-type. Priced options come with Pro.
When there is nothing left tonight the page still takes the job, so the customer is talking to you instead of working down a list of trucks.
Machine, block, what failed and a photo of the fitting in one place, so you can judge the urgency without calling back from under a skidder.
Reply right from the record. What you told the foreman at midnight is still there when the office asks about it two weeks later.
A changeout that wraps early is an opening you fill from the same screen, and the confirmation goes out without you writing it.
Excavator has dumped its oil off the boom line and we are stopped in the pit. Anything at all tonight?
Cash and bank transfers you record by hand cost nothing on any plan. Cards come with Pro, and the money goes straight into your account.
Mark the job paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and it is not moving behind a paywall down the road.
The payment request is emailed to the account contact on file, which is almost never the person who called you from the cab.
Every call for that outfit sits on one card, so an invoice questioned in spring has the machine and the night it came from under it.
Add your whole team and get booking for nothing.
As you grow with us you can go Pro.
One app for the whole job
If those are hours you run, yes. You set your availability and it can run right through the night, so the page offers calls you will genuinely roll on rather than a nine to five nobody in this business keeps.
Take the closest address you can get and put the gate, the pin and the landmark on the job. The site stays under the customer, so the next call out there starts with the way in already written down.
Yes. Every skidder, plow truck or combine is its own record under the customer with its own history, so what you built for it last winter is there when it goes down again.
It can. The payment request is emailed to the account contact you name, which is almost never the person who called you from the cab, so nothing depends on a work order surviving the truck.
Set the areas you cover and leave the rest out. Anything outside them is turned away on the page instead of showing up in your run at midnight and getting sorted out by phone.
Yes. A fleet going through before freeze-up sits on the same board as tonight’s failure, quoted as one job with a line per machine, so the planned work stops losing to the urgent every week.
