How often can you set automatic tracking texts, and what does AscendTMS do with them?

• A. Only when the dispatcher sends a request; AscendTMS does not automate tracking.
• B. Fixed once per load; The driver must respond manually.
• C. At a recurring interval (e.g., every 6 hours) with a start and end date; AscendTMS sends tracking requests to the driver automatically.
• D. On demand, every time a load is created; The driver must manually opt in.

Answer: (C)

The feature tested is how automatic tracking texts are scheduled and sent. You can set them to run on a recurring interval (for example every 6 hours) and define a start and end date for when this tracking should occur. Once configured this way, AscendTMS automatically generates and sends the tracking requests to the driver at each interval during that window, so you get ongoing visibility without having to push each message manually.

That’s why this option is best: it provides a scheduled, hands-free approach to tracking, rather than requiring a manual request each time, a one-time dispatch per load, or an on-demand setup that would depend on the driver opting in.
