There was an issue with the BOL process that would sometimes prevent users from completing the inspection. This has been fixed. The images will still be removed from the local storage upon completing the pick up/drop off.  This will not change the BOL procedure, but should fix any cases where the app could not find images that were taken.

Additionally, fixes have been made to prevent crashing or freezing that may have occurred when users were still using older versions of the app.  These changes should dramatically reduce instances of users being unable to complete the BOL process within the app.

Some users with Apple iPhones and iPads reported instances of crashing while logging into the app.  There were also reports of the app freezing when the user would navigate to the “My Loads” section of the app on iOS devices.  Fixes have been made and these events should no longer occur. 

Some Android users reported issues related to the file upload procedure.  Sometimes files couldn’t be selected for upload on newer devices.  There were also reports of files that failed to upload for new accounts.  A fix has been enacted which should resolve these problems.

Improvements have been made to various loading times. Lists will load faster now in the “Available Loads” and “My Loads” tabs.  An improvement has been made to use to stored data for 1 minute, which will allow the UI to respond faster to the search, sort, filter and detail view functions.  

If more than 1 minute has passed, the app will auto-refresh to show current information in the load tabs when you return to the app.

We fixed a minor issue where the magnifying glass icon wouldn’t respond when pressed.  Pressing it now initiates a new search and it turns into a back arrow when typing.

The Autosled platform has a feature for shippers who need to swap vehicles back and forth.  This dealer trade function would sometimes show an error message even when dispatched correctly.  Occasionally the second leg of the trade would incorrectly be marked as available to transporters when it was in fact not ready.  These issues have been resolved.

Previously, the VIN scanner tool required the user to scan the specific vehicle selected.  Now, if a VIN doesn’t match the currently selected vehicle, but matches another vehicle in the load, the user will be prompted to continue inspection with the new vehicle.  They can go back to the original vehicle when finished. The scanner will also indicate what vehicle should be scanned at the top of the screen.

Scans that don’t match any vehicle in the load will now display what VIN was expected and what the scanner read, or what was manually inputted.

Previously, users who belonged to the same transport company were able to complete BOLs for vehicles that were not assigned to them.  This caused confusion in the verification process, which would occasionally delay the payment process. This has now been fixed so that only drivers assigned to the loads can complete the BOL.  When an unassigned user attempts to complete a pick up/drop off, a pop up will appear to notify who is currently assigned.  Admins can change who is assigned in order to complete the BOL without issue.

Occasionally, we release hotfixes to address bugs as they come up. These updates will install automatically when the app is freshly opened.  There will now be a label with the app’s version number in the bottom left of the side menu.  It is important to know your version number is you ever have any technical issues.

• Users have reported that the camera on certain iOS devices sometimes fails to take pictures. We are working on a fix and general improvements to the picture-taking process and will release a new version within the next few weeks.
• Users have reported that not all loads are visible in certain situations when the “Load List” is in half-screen mode (with the map visible in the other half).  We are working on a fix and will release a new version within the next few weeks.  In the meantime, swiping up the list to use the whole screen will make all loads visible.
• Users have reported that they cannot collect signatures or move past the damage reports on certain iOS devices/shipments. We are working on a fix and will release it as soon as possible. In the meantime, we urge you to report any issues with completing a BOL as quickly as possible. Please email BOL images and a screenshot of the error/where you got stuck to bol@autosled.com if this should occur during a specific shipment. Remember—any issues with completing a BOL should be reported as soon as possible to avoid any complications or delays with the payment process.
