When a long-distance delivery is set to Delivery by: Local crew, your own crew delivers it — and they need to know where and when. MoveBoard tells them the moment you put them on the delivery.
When it goes
Put a crew on the delivery from Dispatch (drag the crew onto the job, or Assign crew) and save. Everyone newly on the delivery gets a text (or an email) titled New DELIVERY Assignment.
The pickup crew gets your usual New Job Assignment text instead. A long-distance order can have a different crew at each end, and each crew is told about its own day.
What it says
You've been assigned the DELIVERY of a long-distance job:
- Delivery Date — the delivery block dates when you set them, otherwise the customer's delivery dates.
- Arrival Window — the delivery arrival from and to times.
- Delivery Address.
- The crew's names and Crew Size.
Anything not set yet reads TBD. Set the dates and window on the order's Delivery half first — see Delivery dates and the delivery spread.
When it doesn't go
The same rules as every crew text — see Texts the crew gets:
- It goes only while your company has an active New Job Assignment template — it uses the same switch.
- Only for a day that isn't over.
- The person needs a mobile number (or an email for an email template) and must be an active employee.
- Nobody is told twice for the same thing.
Taking someone off the delivery sends Job Assignment Removed, saying they're no longer on the delivery of that order.
