    If the selected trip is the first in the driver’s schedule, the first stop event will be the Begin Empty that moves the driver from the At Home Location where he/she starts the workday.

    Notes:

    • You can automatically complete all stops by just selecting the checkbox for the last stop.

    • If the truck has an integrated cargo area, the system will allow you to actualize stops without a trailer assignment.
