In assisted direct contracting, the shipper contracts the driver directly, the transport manager coordinates daily routines within agreed authority, and FleetPay supports contracted tax, financial and insurance workflows.
Before the Trip
Every lane requires qualified capacity, clear freight terms and accountable owners to prepare transport documentation. Teams must also verify insurance requirements and how trip execution will be funded.
During Execution
Dispatch, loading, delays, replacements and field incidents require active coordination. The transport manager leads the operational response within agreed authority and keeps the shipper informed.
At Closing
Delivery proofs, tax documents, billed amounts and payouts must be verified within the context of the same operation. A received document and a settled payment are distinct facts.
How the Model Is Structured
In assisted direct contracting, the shipper contracts the driver and the transport manager runs the daily routine. FleetPay supports tax, financial and insurance workflows according to availability and contracted scope.
Start by mapping one recurring lane, identifying each participant's work, and comparing total cost, service level and working capital across a complete cycle.
