Diesel TMS Just Got Smarter about the Weather

Diesel TMS Just Got Smarter about the Weather

We are announcing a new feature in Diesel TMS that automatically retrieves and displays detailed weather forecasts for each stop on your loads. Using the stop's scheduled date, time, and exact location, Diesel TMS now shows expected conditions right where you plan and dispatch.

No extra apps. No copying and pasting. Just enter your stops like you always have—and the weather shows up.
 

Weather, built into every stop

For each stop, Diesel TMS now pulls a time-specific forecast that includes:
• Weather condition
• Temperature
• Feels-like temperature
• Wind speed & direction
• Cloud cover
• Humidity

This information is presented in a clear, easy-to-read format directly within the Load, so dispatchers can quickly see what the driver is likely to face on arrival.

Safer deliveries: avoid snow, ice, and heavy rain

Weather can turn a routine delivery into a safety risk. With stop-level forecasts, you can:
• Identify stops where snow or ice is expected and adjust plans in advance
• Shift appointments slightly to avoid the worst of a storm
• Help drivers avoid delivering during heavy rain when it can create slippery yards, visibility issues, and wet freight
• Reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and weather-related claims
 

By giving you better visibility before a truck ever moves, Diesel TMS helps you make safer decisions without adding extra steps to your process.
 

Fewer delays, fewer surprises, lower costs

Unplanned weather delays are expensive and frustrating. With this feature, you can:
• See potential weather trouble spots days in advance
• Communicate more accurately with customers about ETAs and conditions
• Minimize last-minute reschedules and related fees
• Reduce detention and layover caused by storms or unsafe conditions
 

The result is fewer surprises, tighter schedules, and less wasted time and money across your operation.
 

Designed to be effortless

Using this feature requires no new workflow.
To use it, you just:
• Create a load in Diesel TMS
• Enter your stops as you normally do (with date, time, and location)
• View the Load or Stop details and see the forecast information displayed automatically.

That's it! No extra screens. No manual lookups. No separate weather tools. Diesel TMS does the work for you in the background.
 

A more informed, weather-aware Diesel TMS

This new stop-level weather forecasting feature is about giving your team better context at the exact moment they are making planning and dispatch decisions. With detailed, time-aligned forecasts visible on every stop, you can:
• Improve safety
• Reduce delays
• Control costs
• Protect freight and equipment
• Deliver a more reliable experience to your customers

Weather will always be unpredictable—but with Diesel TMS, it no longer has to catch you off guard.
