Should drivers use their own phones or company phones?▼
Both can work, with different tradeoffs. Company phones give you full control: a locked-down profile, remote wipe and consistent setup, but you have to manage collection and loss. Personal phones save hardware cost but mix customer data with drivers’ personal lives. If you allow them, we set up a managed work profile that holds only the delivery apps and data, which you can remove when a driver leaves without touching their personal content. Your counsel should review any device policy drivers sign.
How fast can a departing driver lose access?▼
As fast as your process runs. With device management and a written checklist, a manager can request lock and account removal the moment a driver quits or doesn’t return, and the phone gets locked remotely while their app access is removed. The usual delay comes from not knowing every place a driver had an account. The checklist fixes that by listing each app, portal and system, so nothing gets missed during a busy morning.
Our station Wi-Fi fails at load-out. Why?▼
At load-out, a fleet of phones all join the network, sync routes, upload yesterday’s data and sometimes pull app updates at once. Consumer-grade or poorly placed access points can’t handle that density, especially in a metal warehouse. We assess the station during a real morning, place business-grade access points where drivers stage, schedule app updates overnight on managed phones and give driver devices their own network segment. Cellular can carry some load, but solid Wi-Fi keeps data costs and delays down.
How do we handle dashcam footage after an accident?▼
First, make sure the relevant clips are preserved before the camera or platform overwrites them. We configure retention settings and an easy way for managers to flag and save footage, and we limit who can download or share clips so they don’t end up on personal phones or social media. Your insurer and attorney decide what footage is needed and how it’s handled for a claim. Our job is making sure it exists, stays intact and has a clear access record.
We get phishing emails pretending to be our delivery partner. What should we do?▼
Don’t click links in those emails; sign in to the partner portal through a saved bookmark instead. Attackers imitate partner and shipper alerts because owners act on them quickly. We add MFA to your portal and email accounts, tighten email filtering, set up impersonation detection and give your office a short guide to spotting fakes. If someone already entered credentials, change them immediately and contact us, and we check for unauthorized access and payout changes, with after-hours emergency response for active incidents.
Do you support the routing and delivery apps?▼
We support the devices, accounts and network they run on. Routing, scanning and proof-of-delivery apps typically belong to your partner network or a software vendor, who handles app bugs and data issues. We make sure phones have the right app versions, permissions and connectivity, that drivers can sign in, and that devices are configured consistently. When an app issue appears, we gather device details and help you raise it with the right support team quickly.

What does Last cost for a Houston business?▼
Pricing depends on your size and what you need, so we do not publish a one-size-fits-all number — but Houston businesses generally pay a flat, predictable monthly fee rather than surprise hourly bills. We start with a free, no-obligation assessment of your current setup, then give you a clear quote in plain English with no hidden costs. That way you know exactly what you are getting and what it costs before you commit.
