Example for X MobileYou have a route that runs in downtown Phoenix and services 4 different customers, but you don't want to have 4 different routes, and prefer to have 1 route with co-mingled route stops for all 4 customers. However, your driver needs to have a parcel chain of custody for the imported work to give the shipper visibility to when the freight is loaded onto the truck and when it is delivered - this means 4 separate Load Stops for each customer. A BOL on the ContractStop level can be used to set a grouping value that will allow the driver to take bulk action on all 4 route stops at once without having to open each route stop, find the right parcels to scan while loading the truck, and add separate POD/signature info for each stop. |
