You can communicate directly with dispatch using Samsara Driver App Messages ( ).
To manage your notifications, you can configure the following settings:
-
Push notifications (Settings > Notifications): Enable this setting to communicate with Dispatch even when the app is minimized.
-
Message accessibility: Messages cannot be viewed when you have a Driving HOS status. However, if the text to speech (also known as TTS) Messaging setting is enabled for your fleet, you can review messages from your fleet administrator regardless of your HOS status.
With TTS enabled, when you receive a message, you have the following options:
-
Tap Play to listen to an unread message that was received while driving (available in English in the US and Canada, iOS version 1.3.4 or later). To hear messages notifications, you must have the phone Ringer setting enabled.
-
Tap Dismiss to ignore the message.
-
Note
You cannot delete messages from the Samsara Driver App.

Is there a way to receive the message notification while in HOS?
Is there a way for drivers to message each other?
Hi Jake! Thanks for your question. For safety reasons, messages can only be viewed when the driver is not in Driving duty status.
Hi Marty! Messages can only be sent and received between the fleet admin and the driver. If you would like to see messaging between drivers as a feature, you can submit feedback from the Samsara cloud dashboard.
