Protect driver hours before detention disrupts the rest of the route.
Atlato watches facility dwell time and remaining driver hours, starts the approved response before time is exhausted and keeps the issue moving until the route is stabilised.
For truckload carriers, fleet operators, dispatch teams and transport control rooms
Detention can use up a driver's remaining legal on-duty time.
A driver can still be waiting when their available Hours-of-Service on-duty time runs out. Operations staff must quickly check the remaining hours, confirm the likely release time, protect the next appointment and decide whether later work must be delayed, reassigned or cancelled.
A delay at one customer can remove the remaining capacity from the route.
Once the driver's legal time is exhausted, the truck cannot simply continue as planned. Later collections or deliveries may be missed, and dispatch has less time to recover the work before customers are affected.
How Atlato runs it.
Atlato acts as a 24/7 digital operations assistant. It watches facility dwell time and remaining driver hours, starts the approved response before time is exhausted and keeps the issue moving until the route is stabilised.
Connects to your existing systems
Connects the TMS, telematics, ELD, scheduling, customer and communication systems so the stop, remaining legal hours, later appointments and approved contacts are available in one workflow.
Monitors and takes action 24/7
Tracks dwell time and remaining on-duty hours continuously. When detention puts later work at risk, it contacts the driver and facility, checks the next appointment and starts the approved recovery workflow.
Follows your policies and compliance requirements
Applies your detention thresholds, Hours-of-Service rules, safe operating requirements, customer commitments and escalation procedures before recommending or taking action.
Brings people in when approval is needed
Escalates route changes, job reassignment, customer commitments and policy exceptions to the right dispatcher or manager before they are confirmed.
Gives every person a personal digital assistant
Prepares the driver, dispatcher, customer-service team and manager with the live issue, available options, approved messages, assigned tasks and next decision, while completing routine follow-up on their behalf.
Maintains a complete, audit-ready history
Records alerts, driver and facility contacts, decisions, approvals, route changes, customer updates and final closure in one time-stamped history.
What changes.
Driver hours protected
Risk is identified before legal time is exhausted.
Later work checked early
Downstream appointments are reviewed immediately.
24/7 response started
The approved workflow begins whenever detention occurs.
Every action recorded
Contacts, decisions and approvals stay in one history.
Why the outcome is different.
The detention event becomes an active workflow, not a waiting alert.
- Earlier intervention before available driver time is exhausted.
- Faster decisions on whether later work can continue, move or stop.
- Your team keeps control of exceptions and approvals while Atlato handles monitoring, checks, contact and follow-up.
Outcomes to measure.
- Detention events identified before the Hours-of-Service threshold
- Time from risk detection to first action
- Later appointments recovered or reassigned
- Customer updates completed on time
