Why truck is not assign to the driver on Dispatcher board?

Introduction: Assigning a truck to a driver is a crucial step in efficient transportation management. In the event that a truck is not automatically assigned to a driver on the Dispatcher board, follow these steps to manually associate a truck with a driver. This process ensures that drivers have the appropriate resources to complete their assigned trips.

Step 1: Access the Driver Profile

  1. Log in to the Workforce module of your transportation management system (TMS).
  2. Navigate to the list of drivers within the module.

Step 2: Create a New Assignation

  1. Open the profile of the driver for whom you wish to assign a truck.
  2. Within the driver's profile, locate the "New Assignation" button or a similar option. This button is typically used to create new assignments or associations for the driver.

Step 3: Enter Truck Number

  1. After clicking "New Assignation," you will be prompted to enter the truck number in the provided field. This action explicitly associates the selected truck with the driver.
  2. Ensure that you accurately input the truck number to avoid errors or confusion.

Step 4: Choose the Dispatcher

  1. In the same assignation interface, select or enter the name of the dispatcher responsible for this specific driver-truck assignment.
  2. This step ensures that the dispatcher is also aware of and associated with this assignment.

Step 5: Save the Assignation

  1. Once the truck number and dispatcher are selected, click the "Save" button to confirm the assignation.
  2. This action saves the assignment and officially associates the driver with the designated truck, with the knowledge and coordination of the assigned dispatcher.

Conclusion: By following these simple steps, you can manually assign a truck to a driver on the Dispatcher board within your TMS. This process guarantees that each driver is correctly linked with the appropriate truck, with the added benefit of ensuring that the relevant dispatcher is aware of and associated with the assignment. Such assignments are essential for efficient fleet management and ensuring that drivers have the necessary resources to carry out their trips successfully.
