Here we refer to you as a ‘service provider’ working for one or more ‘originators’. You have a fleet of vehicles and you complete work on behalf of others. As a service provider you are responsible for completing work in a timely, cost efficient and compliant fashion for the company you are operating on behalf of.
Your Challenge, Our Solution
In its simplest form Podfather will allow you to receive jobs/loads from the companies you work for. Work is received via digital data transfer, you use Podfather to track and manage day to day vehicle movements, and automatically transfers electronically received job completion information back to your originator(s).
Our model applies if you work for one originator or multiple originators. You will be able to share electronic proof of delivery, showing what work was completed by whom and when, without the need for paper tickets.

As a Podfather employee, one of my most prized possessions is my Podduck which was given to me on my first day in the business.
