the part nobody prices in

Keep the driver, vehicle and job linked

For a breakdown, the next person needs the vehicle unit, the driver’s reported location, the fault and the load or route affected. Configure those as HeroDash fields and use the depot or account to select the responsible dispatch queue. Record the assistance request, vendor confirmation and latest ETA separately, so a request sent to a vendor is distinguishable from a vendor accepting the job.

Use the same vehicle reference for maintenance follow-up, with the work-order number and service status. A change to a waiting-for-update ticket can trigger a notice to its assignee. Time-based follow-up automations scan hourly; urgent roadside coordination should follow the agreed live call route. The carrier’s responsible staff make driving-hours and vehicle-release decisions.

  • Vehicle unit, depot and fleet account
  • Driver callback number and reported location
  • Reported fault and immediate assistance requested
  • Route, load or appointment affected
  • Assistance vendor or work-order reference and current status
  • Dispatch owner and next confirmed driver update

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is US$0.15 per minute and web chat is US$0.15 per session. Live agents start at US$650 per month including 1,500 minutes — about US$0.43 per minute — or from US$5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Who decides whether a driver can complete another stop?

The carrier’s responsible staff assess driving-hours and operational requirements. The support desk captures the driver’s report, relevant trip details and deadline, then follows the agreed escalation route for that decision.

How should roadside updates be communicated?

Keep the request time, vendor acceptance and latest vendor-provided ETA as separate events. Pass a revised estimate to the driver and dispatch when the source changes, and record who owns the next update.
