    • Add Trailer
      • If driver is adding trailer, then they will be able to search for nearby trailers within a ~500 foot radius of their current location OR select from a list of trailer the driver has access to
      • Driver will then select from a list of trailers and when they save it will associate this trailer to their shift.  
      • When a driver adds a trailer, if there is a load with ticket pickup info for specific trailer, it will ask driver if they want to assign this load to them. If a driver confirms the add, then load will become the drivers next load they work on.
      • If driver has a trailer associated to them already it will not allow driver to add a trailer.
    • Drop Trailer
      • If a driver is dropping trailer, then they will input where they are dropping it, “Drop Trailer Location Name”. We will automatically capture which trailer is being dropped, the drop date/time and drop lat/long.
      • Drivers also can reassign the load to another driver. If a load is reassigned this load will automatically be moved to the other driver as their last load of shift.
      • If driver drops a trailer with NO ticket pickup info, the load will remain on the driver.
      • If a driver drops a trailer with ticket pickup info, the load will be dropped from the driver.  Driver will be warned about this and will need to confirm the drop.  
      • All dropped trailers with ticket pickup info will move back to the open load bank and highlighted in yellow for dispatch to reassign.
    • Add/Drop Trailer
      • Add/Drop Trailer option allows a driver to add and drop a trailer at the same time. All logic outlined in both sections above will apply
