Driver guide.

Everything you need to run loads in the Lickety app — the same steps your dispatcher uses when onboarding new drivers.

1. Get the app and sign in

  • Download Lickety from the App Store or Google Play.
  • Create an account or sign in with your email and password.
  • You can also use sign up and sign in on this website.

2. First launch: permissions

The first time you open the app, you'll see setup screens for App Tracking (iOS), location disclosure, location access, and push notifications.

Location lets Lickety verify you can claim loads, show distance and ETA, update your status color, and share position while you're on a job. Choose Always (or Android equivalent) for the smoothest experience. Notifications tell you about new work, your queue, and when a window is at risk.

3. Main screens (tabs)

You'll always see three tabs at the bottom:

TabNo active jobOn a job
FirstHomeHome
MiddleAvailability — open loadsAppointment — map & actions
ThirdProfileProfile

If a payment step is required, you may see hold screens on the middle tab until checkout finishes.

4. Typical workflow

  1. Open Availability (or start from Home) and tap a load to read pickup and delivery windows and addresses.
  2. Tap Claim Appointment. Keep location on — the app needs a fresh GPS fix to claim.
  3. After you claim, use Home and Appointment for maps and status.
  4. At pickup, tap Confirm Pickup when freight is loaded.
  5. At delivery, tap Confirm Delivery when freight is unloaded.
  6. If you can't finish, use the app's release options so another driver can take the load.

5. Payment hold (Relay)

Relay is a third-party payment app used by some carriers. When a load requires Relay, you'll be redirected to complete checkout right after you claim. The load stays on hold until payment finishes. If time runs out, the appointment may return to the board — follow the on-screen message or call your dispatcher.

6. Status colors

Your status updates often while you're on a job.

  • Green — on track

    On pace for your delivery window.

  • Yellow — tight

    Getting tight on time; keep watching the clock.

  • Red — at risk

    At serious risk of missing the window. You may receive a push notification.

  • Grey — idle

    No active appointment, or the appointment has expired.

7. Queue

The queue lets you wait in line for a facility so you're automatically notified when a load opens up — no need to keep checking Availability.

How to join

  1. On the Availability tab, tap Queue.
  2. Choose a facility and tap Join Queue.
  3. Your position number appears — lower is better.

How it works

  • When a load opens at that facility, you get a push notification.
  • Claiming any load removes you from all your queue entries automatically.
  • Leave a queue at any time from the same screen.

Limits to know

  • Up to 5 facilities at once.
  • Cannot join while you have an active appointment.
  • Entries expire after 24 hours.

8. Chat, notifications, tutorial

Profile is where you'll find chat with your carrier (when enabled), notification history, and the option to replay the built-in tutorial with safe demo data.

If you're offline, fix Wi-Fi or cellular — the app needs connectivity to claim and update loads.

9. Troubleshooting

Can't claim

Turn on Location (and Precise Location on iOS if asked). Wait a few seconds outdoors or near a window, then try again.

Stuck on payment hold

Finish Relay checkout. If it's done but the app hasn't moved, wait a minute — then contact your dispatcher.

No push notifications

In phone Settings, open Lickety and enable Notifications. Low-battery modes can delay alerts.

Missed a queue notification

Make sure notifications are enabled for Lickety in phone Settings. Queue entries expire after 24 hours — if yours expired before a load appeared, rejoin from the Availability tab.

Can't join a queue

You must not have an active appointment, and you can only queue at up to 5 facilities at once.
