A dispatch desk, or no dispatcher at all
Some operations have a base, a console and a job board. Some are a group of owner-drivers with nobody in the middle. push.tt carries the voice, the jobs and the privacy either way — anywhere a data connection reaches.
A cab group is a channel
Whichever way the operation is run, the spine is the same: press, talk, release. The whole rank hears it in the same second, across town or across the county, with no base station and nothing to licence.
- One speaker at a time, arbitrated by the server, so a busy Saturday night stays intelligible
- Private and company channels are locked to your own handsets; push.tt carries them without being able to listen
- Every transmission is replayable, with transcription performed on the sending handset
With a dispatch desk
A dispatcher on the console works a job board while the drivers stay on voice. A passenger pickup goes out as an encrypted job, and the desk watches it move rather than asking on air.
- Jobs move through assigned, en-route, arrived and completed, so the state of every car is on the board
- The job arrives on the handset with a tappable Navigate card — guidance is computed on the device, and the push.tt server relays the destination encrypted, never reading it
- A live fleet map shows the desk each unit's position — the map is for the dispatcher, and drivers are not shown each other's positions
No dispatcher? Run it as a group — free
A co-op or owner-driver group has no base to call, and needs no account with us to start. Make a channel, get your drivers in it, and any of them can post a ride from their own handset with a map pin. Peer-to-peer job posting is on the free plan.
- The job goes to everyone in the channel and the first to accept wins it — no dispatcher, no queue, no one deciding who gets what
- Candidates are sent a deliberately coarse summary — area and job type, not the address. The winner gets the exact pickup privately afterwards, over the same encrypted paths as any message
- No positions are involved at all. Nobody is tracked, nobody is ranked, and no driver sees where another driver is
- The channel owner can switch job posting off for that channel whenever they want
Worth being exact, because the difference is the reason to pay later: on the free plan a job is offered to the channel. Offering it to the nearest free units needs positions, and positions mean fleet tracking — which is a business decision with a consent gate in front of it, not something we switch on for a group of strangers. Free groups are capped at ten people per channel.
Account rides and rostered fleets
The optional pieces switch on when the operation needs them and stay out of the way when it does not.
- Account rides can need a code from the passenger, checked by us rather than the app, with a limited number of tries
- Photos, signatures and notes attach to a job over the encrypted message paths; the server records only that evidence was attached
- Shifts and timeclock for fleets that roster: open-shift claims, trades with optional admin approval and clock in/out — the payroll export carries hours, never coordinates
Alone in the car at night
Emergency is a persistent session rather than a chime. It overrides Busy, Solo and channel mute, and remains active until somebody with permission clears it.
- Raise, acknowledge and clear are separate actions, each written to the audit trail
- The person raising the alert takes the floor even when someone else is speaking
- Abuse controls and an organisation-level off switch are enabled by default
push.tt is operational coordination over commercial data networks, not a certified public-safety system. Keep statutory and emergency services on the equipment and procedures required for them.
Put one shift on it
One dispatcher and a handful of cars — or five owner-drivers and no dispatcher at all — is enough to tell.
