Executing Terminal

You can restrict the list of drivers by the executing terminal (or carrier representative) with which they are linked.

Specifying an executing terminal allows you to find drivers that are assigned to a specific cost center. When necessary, this will enable you to use only drivers that are assigned to that cost center.

Notes:

  1. For details on setting up executing terminals or carrier representatives, see Setting up the system to use booking and executing entities in the Status Based Loads Grid documentation.

  2. For details on associating drivers with branches, see "Associating cost centers with companies and resources" in the File Maintenance online help.

Note: The field names are set up in the DrvMisc1 - 4 labels in System Administration.
