Dispatch Crew & Trucks from the Job Page

Overview

The Dispatch tool will help you efficiently manage your logistics and moving operations by simplifying the process of assigning trucks and crew members, ensuring precise execution of tasks. In this article, we provide steps on how to assign trucks and movers to a job. 

Dispatch

On the job page, scroll down on the left menu and click on the Dispatch tab. Click on the "Trucks" or "Movers" buttons in the Trucks & Movers section

Assigning Trucks

To assign trucks, click the "Trucks" button. A popup will appear, displaying all available trucks for the given date. This handy display will also show which trucks are currently engaged on other assignments.

Simply click the checkbox next to the truck name to assign it to the job. You can assign multiple trucks if needed. After making your choices, click the blue "Assign" button to save your selections.

Assigning Crew Members

To assign crew members, click the "Movers" button.  A popup will appear, displaying the available crew members for the given date. It also indicates which crew members are already occupied.

Light green squares represent the date(s) of the job, and the number inside each square shows how many assignments each crew member has on that day.

Choose your crew by clicking the checkbox next to each crew member's name. Ensure that you assign crew members to their designated positions, such as Driver or Mover, to ensure a complete crew. Finally, click the blue "Assign" button to save your crew selections.

Note: If you assign more trucks or crew members than the job calls for, our system will notify you that “There are more selected trucks/movers than the requested number of trucks.”
