Your on-demand drivers have a lot on their to-do list throughout the day. Struggling to access data they need to make quick, smart decisions shouldn’t be one of them. You want them reviewing their shipments and gone, moving on to the next task for the day.
In 24.2, we’re adding a component to the Driver App that will simplify mileage data for on-demand shipments, putting important information right into the hands of those who need it most – the drivers. Sometimes it is the little details that matter and this little detail can go a long way!
Let’s ride and check out what’s new this month! 🚘
Do you find your drivers looking for quick calculations of the distance between their pickup and dropoff locations? While the itinerary list in the app features the mileage from a driver’s current location to each shipment address, finding the numbers related to a specific pickup and dropoff previously required some manual work plotting maps or checking in with dispatch. 🗺️
We’ve simplified the process by displaying this information directly on the on-demand Stop Info screen of the Driver App. When clicking into a stop, your driver will now have all the important details regarding their pickup or destination including a new field labeled “Total Order Mileage.” This field will be visible on both the pickup and the delivery screens for all on-demand shipments.
The total order mileage is the same distance displayed on the on-demand shipment record in the Operations App and Client Portal. The value is calculated based on the exact distance between the Origin Location and Destination Location addresses for the shipment.
When enabled, drivers will also have Driver Pay information associated with the shipment located right next to the new Total Order Mileage field.
In order to take advantage of this new feature, your Operations App must be on version 24.2 and the driver’s device must be upgraded to CXT Driver 3.6.4. The Driver App is scheduled to be released in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store on schedule with your Operations App upgrade.
