Logging in with your phone number
Your cell phone number serves as your login credential and identifies your account created in Alvys by your company's admin. Enter your cell phone number to log in. If your account has not been set up by the admin, you will not be able to proceed.
Be sure to accept any and all permissions from the app upon logging in.
Online or offline availability
In the top left-hand corner of the app, there is a toggle button to set yourself either online or offline. This feature indicates your current availability to dispatchers and admins.
When you set yourself as Online, you are actively working and available for assignments. Dispatchers and admins will see your status as available and can assign trips accordingly.
When you set yourself as Offline, you are taking a break or refreshing on hours. During this time you will not receive trip assignments, and your status will display as unavailable to dispatchers and admins.
Using this feature lets you manage your work hours and availability for a balanced and efficient workflow.
Load visibility on the home screen
Staying on top of your assigned and upcoming trips is key to a smooth journey. The app gives you access to the information you need right from the home screen.
Upon logging in, the home screen provides a snapshot of your current workload. You will find a list of assigned and upcoming trips displayed for quick access.
Each trip listed on the home screen contains essential details such as pickup and delivery locations, scheduled times, and any specific instructions.
Accessing Load Details and Uploading Documents
With a simple tap on any trip from the home screen, you can access comprehensive load details and manage important documents seamlessly.
Load Details: Dive deeper into each trip to view essential information such as pickup/delivery locations, scheduled times, and load specifics.
Document Upload: Need to upload crucial documents like accessorial receipts, Bill of Lading (BOL), or Proof of Delivery (POD)? Our app allows you to upload and store these documents securely, ensuring compliance and transparency every step of the way.

Facility Check-In/Out
Check-In: Once you are within 10 miles of the facility, you can update your status to notify dispatchers and administrators of your arrival. If you attempt to check in outside of this radius, the app will prompt you to move closer to the facility.
Check-Out: There is no radius requirement for Check-Out. Drivers can update their status regardless of location once work at the facility is completed.
