This release note covers the December 2025 update to assignment planning in Alvys (December release notes, What's New for December 2025), centered on the new Assignment Preferences experience.

Released December 9th, 2025.

Dispatch Preferences has been renamed to Assignment Preferences. The feature now includes time-based tracking and trailer type filtering to help you plan loads faster and manage your fleet more accurately.

What changed:

You can see which assets are active and available, so you can view which driver and truck combinations are live and plan assignments into the future.

You can handle upcoming asset changes by using start and end dates to preassign trucks and manage driver swaps early.

You can match loads to the right trailer type by filtering trucks by type, which reduces mismatches and improves accuracy.

This applies to all users who plan and assign loads.
