How Samsara + Dispo will pair idle trailers with nearby jobs

What hauler telematics gives us (opt-in)

Samsara (and Motive, Geotab, etc.) already knows, for every truck + trailer:

• Location (GPS)
• Utilization — running vs. parked, load state
• Last job completion time
• Driver HOS — are they available for more work today

That data already exists. Today no generator sees any of it. Dispo's integration lets haulers opt individual assets in, so an asset's availability + distance becomes discoverable without exposing anything sensitive.

What the hauler sees

1. On the Equipment page, each inventory item gets a new “Opt-in Samsara” toggle.
2. Once enabled, Dispo polls Samsara's API for that asset's status every 15 minutes.
3. When the asset becomes idle (parked + empty for > 30 min) AND the driver still has HOS available, Dispo auto-lists it on the idle-asset marketplace at the hauler's configured rate.
4. When the asset leaves idle (driver starts another job, end of shift), Dispo auto-de-lists.

Zero manual posting. Zero “I forgot to turn off my listing” problem.

What the generator sees

On the marketplace page, idle assets are displayed by distance band (not GPS coordinates):

• "< 15 min from your location"
• "15–30 min"
• "30–60 min"
• "Over an hour"

A short-notice job can filter to "< 30 min" + required capabilities (stainless, ship-to-shore, whatever) and see a ranked list of haulers whose idle assets could actually run the job right now.

The privacy contract

Haulers are understandably twitchy about telematics sharing. Dispo's contract is:

• Per-asset opt-in. You enable on the trailers you want in the marketplace. Others stay dark.
• No raw GPS to generators. The distance band is computed server-side and the coordinates never leave Dispo's backend.
• Opt-out kills historical data. Disabling the integration deletes all prior telematics snapshots.
• No driver PII. We see HOS availability yes/no; we don't store driver names.

When this ships

Target: after the Gulf Coast pilot passes 10 haulers and 25 jobs. We want to be sure the core bid loop works before we wire in a third-party dependency.

If you're a hauler who runs Samsara, Motive, or Geotab and you'd be an early tester, let us know.
