Can Voksha still dispatch a truck if the caller does not know their exact location?

Yes, this is a common situation in towing, since a stranded driver on an unfamiliar highway or backroad frequently cannot give a precise address, and Voksha is built to work through it rather than stall the call. It asks follow-up questions designed for exactly this scenario: the last exit or cross street the caller passed, visible landmarks like a mile marker sign, a specific business or gas station nearby, direction of travel, and whether they have access to their phone's location or maps app to read out GPS coordinates or a dropped pin. For highway breakdowns specifically, mile marker signs are usually the fastest way to get an actionable location, and Voksha prompts for that directly if the caller mentions they are on a highway or interstate. If the caller can share their phone screen's location information verbally, whether through a maps app or the coordinates from their phone's built-in location services, that gets captured as the most precise data point available. In cases where a caller genuinely cannot determine any usable location detail, for example someone confused after a collision or in an area with poor signage, Voksha still captures every detail the caller can provide, callback number, general area, direction they were traveling, vehicle description, so your dispatcher has a strong starting point to call back and narrow down location with the caller directly if needed, rather than a job that stalled out with zero information because the caller struggled to answer.
