Logger-Driver Booking App

I need a mobile application that lets logging contractors (“loggers”) instantly book qualified truck drivers for timber haul-outs, working much like Uber or Lyft but tailored to the forestry industry. Core workflow • A logger posts a load request: pickup location, destination mill, tonnage, preferred pickup window, and rate. • Nearby drivers receive the request, review details, and tap to accept. • Once a driver accepts, both parties see each other’s live GPS location on the in-app map until the load is delivered and marked complete. Key requirements • Real-time location tracking is non-negotiable; I want to see trucks moving along the route, with automatic status changes (en-route, on-site, delivered). • Two account types must exist: Logger and Driver. Each side sees only the screens relevant to their role after sign-in. • Ride/trip booking is the heart of the platform, so that flow needs to be clean, quick, and dependable even in low-signal forest areas (offline caching / sync a bonus). Tech & deliverables • Native iOS and Android apps or a robust cross-platform stack such as React Native or Flutter—open to advice, but performance in rural zones is critical. • Simple web-based admin console for user management, dispute resolution, and trip/route reporting. • Source code, build instructions, and basic test data so I can run the system locally. Acceptance criteria 1. A logger can post a load and receive at least one driver acceptance within a test environment. 2. Live GPS updates display on both phones with <5-second latency. 3. Separate login paths lock each user type to their respective dashboard. If you have shipped real-time logistics or rideshare apps before, you’ll understand the nuances I’m after. Let’s discuss the technical approach and a milestone breakdown that will get an MVP into field testing quickly.
