Driver overview

DriverSeat® is a web-based program that drivers can use to keep in touch with their company while on the road. You can also use it to see trip and pay summary information and possibly your CSA safety scoring. You have a personal calendar and scheduler you can use to keep track of important dates and appointments and request time off.

Terms used in DriverSeat

While working in DriverSeat, you may come across these terms.

Assigned trips

Trip orders that have been assigned to you. You view details of the trip as well as a map of the trip’s route.

Available trips

Trip orders that are presented by your company to drivers who may want to request them. You may want to speak to your dispatcher about possible assignment to a trip.

Expiration

Your company’s dispatch system allows dispatchers and DriverSeat administrators to schedule time when you are unavailable for trip assignments. Such time-off records are called expirations. The term expiration refers to the fact that the driver will be unavailable for a limited period of time. At some point the time-off period ends, or expires. Vacation, physicals, and training are examples of expirations.

Stop event

Dispatch system’s code to designate the type of stop on the trip. Examples include such codes as:

  • BBT - Begin bobtail

  • LLD - Live load

  • LUL - Live unload
