Differences Between CoyoteGO Desktop and the CoyoteGO Mobile App

Though the functionality is almost the same, there are few small differences:

To properly use CoyoteGO on your mobile device, you will need to download the CoyoteGO app in the App Store or in Google Play. Though you can access CoyoteGO with a web browser on your mobile device, we strongly recommend you download the app for a user-friendly experience. Desktop users do not need to download anything.
The CoyoteGO mobile app will prompt users to select “enable location” upon logging in. You will not be able to search and book loads unless you enable your device’s location.
