Calendar

Say goodbye to spreadsheets! Keep track of where your Drivers are and when they’re available to work with the new Driver Calendar

See the Manifest, location, and shift your drivers are working, and even schedule time off when they're unavailable.

Why we think you'll love it:

  • Carriers all have their unique way of scheduling drivers. This gives you the flexibility to plan driver shifts based on the changing availability and preferences of your team.

  • Plan and dispatch more effectively by knowing what work your drivers are booked for, and schedule loads based on their location and hours worked. 
  • Improve communication between your dispatchers by having a single source of truth for driver scheduling and more context to make changes on the fly.

Here's how it works:

 

Shift View

This is where you log the shifts your drivers work and can see which manifests they are assigned to for a given time. From each Shift card, you can see the start and end locations your driver will be going to, as well as the duration of the trip, miles, manifest ID, and status of the manifest.

To switch to Shift view, toggle to the Shift view tab in the top right corner of your screen


This is the default display option when you first navigate to this page

To log a shift, click the + Log Shift button, also in the top right corner of your screen

Log any necessary details in the provided fields before clicking Save

Availability View

This is where you log the time slots when your drivers are unavailable to work and have the option to include any notes and whether they're on vacation, sick, or at home. Grey blocks represent when a driver is unavailable to work, and white blocks show when a driver is available.

To switch to Availability view, toggle to the Availability view tab in the top right corner of your screen

To log time off, click the + Add Time Off button, also in the top right corner of your screen


Log any necessary details in the provided fields before clicking Save

In either view

Switch to another month, week, or year using the calendar option

Select the button that displays the current date and dropdown arrow, which is location at the top left corner of the page. Then select the week you wish to see. The page will automatically update.

Note: The timezone displayed will be selected based on your current location

You can shift the amount of days in your week using the Week dropdown menu

This is located in the top right corner of your screen directly above the first row of the Calendar. Making a selection here will display either the next week, 3 days, 2 days, or 1 day depending on your selection.

New Improvements

  • Planning View: Check the availability of your drivers directly from the Manifest list or when adding a driver to a Manifest.
  • Expanded Details: Hover over a Shift card to see who is assigned to the Manifest, what order they're moving, start and end times, assigned equipment, miles, and duration.
  • Manifest Link: From a Shift card, you can use the link to go directly to the Manifest your driver is assigned to.
  • Tags & Filters: Use driver tags to organize your team and filter your drivers by them to schedule your trips more efficiently.
