Fleet-wide broadcast

One message, every machine

Some things the whole crew needs to hear at the same moment — a property that's closed today, a shift in the weather, a change to how you're salting. A fleet-wide broadcast sends one message to every operator on shift at once.

How it works

1. Write the message once.
2. Send it as a broadcast — it goes to every on-shift operator's device.
3. Operators see it the same as any dispatch message, with a push to their device.

What to broadcast

• Property changes — "Maple Court is closed today, skip it."
• Weather updates — "Freezing rain starting at noon, switch to the ice mix."
• Operational notes — "Fuel up before the second pass," "New gate code for the hospital block."

Broadcast vs. chat

Broadcast is for the whole crew; chat is for one operator. Reaching for broadcast when only one person needs the message just adds noise for everyone else. Reaching for chat when everyone needs it means retyping the same thing ten times — and someone always gets missed.

A good rule: if you'd have keyed the radio and said "all units," it's a broadcast. If you'd have called one driver, it's chat.
