Assign Trucks and Drivers

Pathway: Operations > Dispatch

When the Dispatch screen displays, routes without a designated driver display at the top of the list. This screen allows for the editing of truck and driver assignments; however, truck/driver re-assignment changes should NEVER be made once the driver has started their route.

In the event a driver has started their route and is unable to finish, re-assign the service locations to a new route. Do not re-assign a new truck and driver to a route that is already in-progress.
