# What are some trip creation best practices?

## Trips can be built using different methods but at DRAIVER we have identified the following best practices to ensure the proper trip creation is executed.

- Create trips with agility in mind, drivers must always follow instructions carefully so you make the best use of drivers’ time when creating a trip.
- Start location will routinely be the dealership/location.
- Add clear instructions for drivers to complete  in trip notes, and add necessary tasks to be completed at each location.
- Location of keys, gate/lock codes.
- Ensure the trip starts and ends within the hours of operation at all locations.
- Make sure to always verify the different chase options to ensure the best cost option is considered for the trip you are creating.
- Expedited trips carry an additional fee and the potential of drivers being unavailable.
- Take into account the travel time a driver will need when setting the trip START time.
- Make sure units are not buried behind others.
- Bringing multiple vehicles to the same destination can increase efficiency.
- 1/1, 2/2 etc. swaps are most efficient and eliminate the need for Chase Driver(s).
- Be sure drivers can park their vehicle during the trip  and have access at the end of trip.
