SpecLode started as nothing more than a notebook scribble during one of the most frustrating weeks of my dispatching career. I remember sitting at my desk, buried in sticky notes and browser tabs, bouncing between year, make, model, trim or VIN lookups, spec sheets, and phone calls to drivers — all just to answer the same simple question: “Can we legally load this vehicle on this trailer?”
Every day was a race against time. Customers were waiting, drivers were on the clock, and the pressure to make quick, accurate decisions was constant. But the tools I had weren’t built for speed, and they definitely weren’t built with dispatchers in mind. I found myself wishing for one system that could instantly tell me everything I needed to know without the back-and-forth.
That’s when the idea for SpecLode took root. What if I could create something that combined vehicle specs, trailer dimensions, and legal height/weight limits — all in one place, all in real time? No more guessing. No more digging. No more wasted calls. Just instant answers and the confidence to load smart and drive legal.
Today, SpecLode does exactly that. It pulls accurate vehicle specs in seconds, checks them against your trailer’s configuration, and instantly tells you if the load is a fit. The hours I used to spend chasing information have been reduced to a few clicks — and now, thousands of dispatchers and carriers can save that same time, avoid costly mistakes, and focus on moving freight instead of moving paperwork.
SpecLode isn’t just software — it’s the tool I wish I had when I was in your seat. It’s built by a dispatcher, for dispatchers, and every feature reflects that real-world experience.
