Splitting trips

About this topic

Audience: Dispatchers
Conditions/restrictions: None

A split trip is a movement with multiple trip segments due to a change in the driver or tractor. Sometimes the resources used to start a trip are unable (or not intended) to complete it. If you know this in advance, you can plan for it. Other times, a resource change is required unexpectedly, for example, a driver becomes ill, or a tractor breaks down.

Whenever resources change, you must split that trip into multiple trip segments. A trip segment is the portion of a movement that is executed by the same set of resources.
