Using the BigRoad Integration

The goal of the BigRoad Integration is to provide you with better visibility of your drivers and equipment, enabling you to make proactive decisions.

Installing BigRoad
Head to the Pegasys Marketplace via the gears icon in the top right.
Scroll down to 'BigRoad', and click "Install"



You will be prompted to enter your BigRoad API key.



Navigate to the BigRoad app. Click the menu in the top left > 'Fleet' > 'Apps'.
Copy and paste the API key under the 'Custom Integration' heading into Pegasys.
Pegasys will verify the connection with BigRoad and install the integration automatically.

Pegasys will never store your BigRoad information. It is only used as temporary data to map your drivers to your tractors, dispatches and shipments.

Using BigRoad
Click the 'Open' button once the app has been installed.

You will be able to see your drivers and their hours of service that have been retrieved from your BigRoad account. The 'Open' button will redirect you to that record within your BigRoad account.

Along the bottom, there is a map view with your fleet moving shipments real-time. Each truck is color coded to show you their capacity if applicable.

Ensure your drivers and/or owner operators are named the exact same within Pegasys and BigRoad. Drivers will always take precedence.



A marker will appear with all of the dispatch and shipment information once a truck is clicked. Each record contains a hyperlink allowing you to jump to the data if you need to make any changes.
Along the bottom of the marker you will see the date this location was retrieved from BigRoad, along with an option to open the location within Google Maps.



The blue refresh button pulls this information from BigRoad for a more accurate representation. The date and time in the button is when that data was last retrieved.
