Creating a Trip

Two ways to create a trip

There are two ways to create a trip:

1. By clicking the "Create trip" button directly on the load record page.

2. By clicking the "Create trip" button of the corresponding load record on the loads listing page.

You can create a trip only for a load with the "Planned" status.

A page will appear where you will need to fill in certain fields. Fields marked with an asterisk are required.

"Trip Information" section

In the "Trip Information" section, you fill in "Trip Number" field. The "Trip Number" field is your internal number, the system will create it automatically if you do not fill it in.

You must assign the appropriate records to the trip: Load, Driver, Truck, Trailer and if necessary Dispatcher.

The "Loaded Distance" field is based on the assigned load and it is not editable.

You have to specify "Empty Distance" (total deadhead miles for this trip).
