Layout of the Trip Folder
The TMW Operations Trip Folder is designed for non-shift based dispatch. It is used primarily by dispatchers who communicate regularly with drivers and/or carriers about their trip assignments. It is used to assign resources to an individual trip, and to enter updates as the trip progresses to completion. To access it, select Operations > Trip Folder.
The Trip Folder allows you to record details for a single movement. Primary information in this window includes:
-
The dates, times, and locations of all stops.
-
Events that occur at individual stops.
-
Resources (driver, tractor, trailer, and/or carrier) assigned to the trip.
