Trip Envelope Processing

yellowbox

image8

Each time a driver goes on a Trip, he usually comes back with an envelope filled with important detailed information about that Trip. This program helps you enter and track all of that detailed information such as: billing information, mileage amounts, fuel tax bills, etc. Once these details are entered into this program, you can match it against the Trip number from Dispatch and then audit any relevant changes to reflect the actual Trip as opposed to the planned one. You can change the Trip details into a split leg Trip, or drop a leg of the Trip. You can even map the Trip route using PC*Miler, which shows leg summaries, and location histories and/or you can show one or both of these pieces of information. If you change any leg information, it will automatically be reflected in your Driver Pay program and Reporting features.

You can use PC*Miler, Rand McNally or ProMiles software as your primary Fuel Tax Vendor.

Start at the Resources tab to make sure the resources used were the correct ones. If they weren’t, this is where you can modify the information. Then, from there you can move through the other tabs at your leisure: Billing, Interline Pay, Driver Pay, A/P, Fuel Tax, and Round Trip.

How Do I?

How do I set up a Head Haul using the Trip Envelope Processing program?

Often, in trucking, it is easier to arrange for a truck to deliver an item but how do you get that truck back home without it costing the company extra money? Obviously, you try to arrange for a load coming back but sometimes that is not always possible. For example, suppose I need to deliver a tractor to Alberta and we call this Trip #1. The farmer has a second tractor he would like to send back to the manufacturer and we will call this Trip #2.

  1. In Trip Envelope Processing, go to the Round Trip tab, use the Context Menu (right-click) to make 'Trip #1' your head haul.

  2. Then, select 'Trip #2' and using the Context Menu (right-click), make this trip your back haul.

  3. Now you can view your Round Trip costs. You can see exactly how much making this round trip has cost the company and where you would like to make any changes.

How do I add attempted stops to a completed trip?

Selecting this button will open the Trip Envelope Processing topic in the TruckMate Online Help file (the page you are currently viewing).

Service Portal

Selecting this button will open an instance of your default Internet browsing software, with the https://www.tmwcare.com login page displayed.

About

Selecting this button will open the standard TruckMate About window, which contains important information about the application you are currently using, including its version number (important for support calls).

Header Information

Input the Trip Number in the field required and then hit 'Enter' and the program will automatically search for information about that Trip Number.

Header Buttons

Find Trip

If the program is unable to locate a Trip Number, select the 'Find Trip' button. The Find Trip window will be displayed.

image9

Input the correct parameters you would like to Search by in the 'Search Criteria' section, such as: 'date range', 'Driver', 'Power Unit', 'Trailer', 'Freight Bill', 'Trace #' or 'User' (and choose the correct 'Date Option' values) and then click the 'Find Trip' button in this new dialog box.

The values available from the Database Search button in the 'Trace #' field are configured on the Codes Maintenance program > Trace Number Types tab.

You do not have to complete all of this information- the 'Date Range' values will suffice if this is all you know. But you must input at least a 'date range' in order for the 'Find Trip' button to work properly. The date you use should be the expected date, not the actual date for the Trip. Also, in a multi-Freight Bill scenario, the system searches based on the oldest date entered.

When you locate the correct Trip Number information, select the 'OK' button and you’ll be returned to the main screen of the Trip Envelope Processing program. Here, you’ll see that all relevant information regarding that particular Trip Number is populated in the main program window’s grid. To modify this information, use your right mouse button to access the Context Menu options.

Refresh

Select this button to refresh the details of the Header grid.

Re-Match Fuel

Selecting the Re-Match Fuel button will find any un-matched fuel records that have been imported into your system (via the Fuel Card Data Import program) and rematch the fuel onto Fuel Tax Trips by using the date the Fuel was purchased, then matching that date with the Start & End Dates of the Power Unit’s Trip record. Basically, if an un-matched fuel record’s date falls in the Date Range provided by the Power Unit Trip record, it will be applied to that Power Unit.

Billing Notes

Once a Trip is found, either by manual entry or by using the 'Find Trip' functionality outlined above, clicking Billing Notes will display the Billing tab and indicate (bold and underline) Freight Bills that have notes (with the selected note type for warning).

Then, luckily enough, the farmer in Alberta has a second tractor he’d like to send back to the manufacturer (we’ll call this Trip #2). With the Round Trip tab in the Trip Envelope Processing Program, use your right mouse button to access the Context Menu and make 'Trip #1' your Head Haul.
