MoveBoardA long-distance order has a pickup and a delivery, and each holds its own trucks. Usually the truck that loads is the truck that delivers. This setting saves you picking it twice.
Turn it on
- Go to Settings › Dispatch › Delivery truck auto-assignment.
- Under Assign the pickup truck to delivery automatically, switch On a long distance order, should selecting a pickup truck also assign the same truck to the delivery leg? to Yes.
- Press Save.
Never set means No.
What it does
When the setting is on and you add a truck to the pickup of a long-distance order — on the order's truck schedule or the Dispatch board — MoveBoard also puts that truck on the order's delivery, for the delivery dates.
It only happens when:
- the order is long distance (interstate or intrastate);
- a truck was added to the pickup (taking one off the pickup doesn't take it off the delivery);
- the delivery has its block dates and the truck's leave and return times set;
- the truck isn't already on the delivery.
When it can't
MoveBoard still saves the pickup truck and tells you why the delivery didn't get it:
- Set the delivery block dates and truck leave/return time to also assign this truck to delivery.
- This truck is already assigned to the delivery of another booked or reserved order.
On a long-distance day with delivery dates but no delivery truck, the truck schedule reminds you: No delivery truck is assigned for this long distance order.
