How do I improve delivery ETA accuracy?
Improve ETA accuracy by combining live GPS, real-time traffic, HOS-aware breaks, and historical lane performance. The biggest win is automatically updating the broker every time the ETA shifts more than 15 minutes.
ETA is a trust metric. Brokers and shippers will pay more for carriers whose ETAs hold up.
Use live GPS, not driver phone calls
Polled location every 30-60 seconds plus traffic data beats any driver guess.
Account for mandatory breaks
A real ETA model knows when the driver will hit a 30-min or 10-hour break.
Auto-notify on slip
When ETA moves +/- 15 minutes, push the update to the broker via SMS or email automatically.
