Broker relies on carrier to refuse non-compliant loads; broker manually tracks load status in spreadsheet; some brokers maintain duplicate load lists across multiple TMS systems • Dispatcher calls driver to ask hours informally; relies on driver's memory; some fleets maintain parallel Excel log to manage hours across multiple ELD systems • Dispatcher calls warehouse to check queue length; if long, dispatcher holds load and manually reschedules; parallel tracking in spreadsheet of all pending loads with estimated wait times
