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.
