Directions to Location

Selecting this option will display the directions from the user’s default site to the zone code of the terminal site. This function requires that the Mileage Server program is running and using recognized third-party mileage software (such as PC*Miler, ProMiles or Microsoft MapPoint).

Load Offer

The Load Offer function is used to send a 'Load Offer' message to the driver for review/acceptance. The message is sent though the Mobile Dispatch system to the mobile device installed on the power unit that is assigned to the trip. You can also send a different macro than the Load Offer macro, or a free-form message. The Load Offer macro is configured in the Communication Macro Setup program with the specific information required for your Load Offer communication and displayed on the Load Offer window.

Load Offer functionality is enabled for Resources that have multiple Mobile Communications devices. When sending a Load Offer you will be prompted for the mobile device to send to if more than one is available, and the load offer macro to use if more than one is available.

Print Batched Reports

This option allows you to print a variety of reports. Selecting the 'Printer' icon will print a Trip Manifest report (MANIFEST.RPT), whereas selecting the drop-down arrow next to the 'Printer' icon will allow you to select from other options, as follows:

* Trip Manifest

Selecting this option will print a Trip Manifest report (MANIFEST.RPT). This is the same as selecting the 'Printer' icon itself. This is the same report that TruckLoad Dispatch uses.

* Delivery Receipts

Selecting this option will print a Delivery Receipt. Note that this report is a new type (cannot use the standard 'DLVRECPT.RPT' designed for the Invoice Printing program). The Crystal used by this report MUST have the CITYD_TRIP_DETAILS table linked into the main report. (The grid is populated from this same table.)

* Reports

Selecting this option will open the Report Selection window with no default report, allowing you to select from any report available to the regular (TruckLoad) Dispatch program.

* Setup Batch Reports

@ Selecting this option will bring up the standard Report Selection screen, where multiple reports can be added into a specific Reporting Batch.

* Print Batched Reports

Selecting this option will print all of the reports in the list that is setup in the 'Setup Batch Reports' window.

* Print Preview

if this flag is checked, batched reports will preview to the screen and will need to be printed from the Preview window, if desired. If unchecked, the reports will (all) print directly to the printer without preview. This setting is saved on the individual machine, so when you open the City Dispatch program again, it will have the same setting (checked or un-checked).

See the Crystal Reports Reference > Dispatch Module section of the Help File for more details regarding the Dispatch reports.

View Message History

Selecting this option will open a window detailing any messages associated with the selected Freight Bill.

<Ctrl+O>

Optimize Trip

This option is the same function as is offered in the Dispatch program. The Trip Optimizer window offers you the ability to edit the trip legs and assign Freight Bills to be picked or dropped in whatever order required. In the case of multi terminal trips (Terminal 1 → Terminal 2 → Terminal 3), if the system finds a leg with a 'To Zone' appears on an 'I' (Interliner) or 'D' (Delivery) in term plan, or is the 'Care of Zone' for the bill, a 'Drop' will occur.

Freight Bill Notes

Selecting this button will display any notes associated with the currently selected trip or freight bill. The notes window has several of its own tabs near the bottom of the window, which are used to enter notes for the different aspects of the selected freight bill. The default tab is the billing tab, where you may enter notes relating to the billing information of the freight bill. Clicking on any of the other tabs will allow you to enter free-form notes for the container, driver, etc.

View Shipping Instructions

Displays any shipping instructions that have been attached to the client(s) included on the associated freight bill. Shipping instructions are created in the Codes Maintenance program > Shipping Instructions tab, and attached to specific clients in the Customer Profiles program > Shipping Instructions tab.

Resend Stop List

A user can click this button to resend the stop list when they are finished with re-sequencing of stops. A warning popup will show if the dispatcher has not clicked on this button before moving anywhere else in the Multi Mode Dispatch application.

P (Pickups)

Check this flag to filter the grid by freight bills that are pickup-type bills.

D (Deliveries)

Check this flag to filter the grid by freight bills that are delivery-type bills.

I (Interliner)

Check this flag to filter the grid by freight bills that are interliner probill-type bills.

W (WayPoints)

Check this flag to display or hide WayPoints to allow for the planning of terminal-to-terminal trips.

Suppress Completed

If this option is checked, any freight bills with a status of "Completed" will not show in the grid.

Suppress Attempts

If this option is checked, any freight bills with a status of P01, P02, etc. (attempted/missed picks) or D01, D02, etc. (attempted/missed delivery) will not show in the grid. Attempted/missed picks and deliveries are status codes for pickup and delivery behavior that are assigned specific rules on the Codes Maintenance program > Status > Additional Rules tab to reflect a situation where the shipper arrives at a terminal and the allotted freight is not available for pick or delivery, for whatever reason.

NOTE: The "P01" status code on a freight bill designates that one attempted pick has occurred ("P02" means two attempts have been made). Depending on the Status Code setup, freight bills that are set to an attempted pick/delivery status may disappear from the grid.

Reassign Bill(s)

Allows you to unmatch and reassign a freight bill from one trip/trap to another trip/trap in one step. Displays a Reassign to Trip window where you enter the new trip number.

Directions to Location

Selecting this option will display the directions from the user’s default site to the zone code of the terminal site. This function requires that the Mileage Server program is running and using recognized third-party mileage software (such as PC*Miler, ProMiles or Microsoft MapPoint).

Change Status

This option allows you to change the freight bill’s status value. The status codes available from this menu are defined in the Codes Maintenance program > Status Codes tab. For example, if you change the status to 'Finish Unloading', and the freight bill is the last one on the last leg of the trip, TruckMate may ask if you are finished with the trip and if your answer is no, TruckMate will add an empty leg to the trip and change the trip status to DISPATCH. If you want to avoid this situation and just keep the trip as is, set this application configuration option in Application Configurator program > Dispatch > DISPATCH.EXE - Trip Status after Stopoff Leg to 'None'. The default value for this option is set to 'Dispatch'.

Freight Bill Notes

Selecting this button will display any notes associated with the currently selected trip or freight bill. The notes window has several of its own tabs near the bottom of the window, which are used to enter notes for the different aspects of the selected freight bill.

Set Via Zone…​

Selecting this option will bring up a selection window where the user can specify an additional zone to add to the current trip.
