Yinez provides volume-based price ranges using your pricing tiers and the customer item description.

For uncertain loads, she explains your pricing structure and books with the expectation that the final price is confirmed on-site. This transparency builds trust while managing customer expectations.
How does truck capacity tracking work?+
The system tracks estimated load volume for each scheduled pickup and calculates remaining truck capacity throughout the day. When the next pickup would exceed remaining capacity, it flags the need for a dump run before continuing. Dispatchers can see real-time capacity across all trucks, enabling intelligent same-day job assignment to the truck with the right remaining space.
