Advance Lumper Payment Options

While you can pay out of pocket for lumpers and submit receipts for reimbursement in CoyoteGO, there are also two options for receiving up-front payment for lumper services in the platform.

You may:

  • Request a Relay code to pay for lumpers at pre-approved facilities.
  • Request an instant T-Chek to cover the cost of lumpers at any facility in the U.S.

Drivers who want to avoid paying out of pocket can access either of these options by navigating to the load in the CoyoteGO mobile app and selecting “Lumper.” If the facility is approved for Relay codes, the code will appear on the next screen. You may present this code to the attendant at the facility.

If the facility is not pre-approved for Relay, you may request a T-Chek from the next screen.

Note that you must submit a lumper receipt within 48 hours to verify the amount you requested for your T-Chek if you choose this method.

Review Charges & Submit Invoices

Once you select Generate Invoice in the Documents tab, it will send you over to Charges where you can review one more time before submitting your invoice.

When you’ve verified that everything is correct and you’re ready, select your preferred payment method and submit.

We’ll get you paid according to your terms!

Filling Out a 1099-C for Your Taxes

Typically, you have to wait for a paper 1099-C to file your taxes. That is no longer the case.

Now, instead of relying on a physical copy of your records, you can access your entire payment history on-demand from your desktop.

To utilize your Financial Summary for tax purposes, use the embedded calendar tool to filter your financial summary for the correct year (i.e. January 1, 2020-December 31, 2020).

Once you have the data you need, you can export your records to an Excel file.

Look for Reloads

If your driver is getting empty on their load and needs to plan their next move, the Reloads tab is a great place to start.

We present suggested available loads based on the driver’s drop off location, expected empty time and equipment type, making it easier to keep your trucks loaded and rolling.

Manage Your Loads from Your Phone

The CoyoteGO mobile app has almost all of the same functionality, including the ability to upload pictures of documents, rate facilities, track driver progress via GPS.
