Assigning a vehicle to a driver ensures that operations are properly tracked and that the Routing Engine can make accurate planning and dispatching decisions based on the available resources.
How to Assign Vehicles to Drivers
Assigning a vehicle to a driver is done directly from the Vehicles page within the Fleet module.
Note: You can change the driver assigned to a vehicle at any time by following the same steps and selecting the new intended driver.
Verifying Vehicle Assignment
You can confirm a vehicle assignment to a driver from either the Vehicles page or the Drivers page:
On the Drivers page, for drivers with an assigned vehicle, the plate number of the assigned vehicle is displayed in the VEHICLE column within their respective row.
On the Vehicles page, for vehicles that are assigned to a driver, the name of the assigned driver is displayed in the DRIVER column within their respective row.
Vehicle Assignment History
The vehicle’s assignment history provides a complete log of all assignment-related activity for that vehicle.
Each action is recorded as a separate event, with distinct entries for assignments and unassignments. For every event, the assignment history clearly shows:
The type of action (assignment or unassignment)
The exact date and time the event occurred
The name of the driver who was assigned or unassigned
The name of the user who performed the action— the system user who manually made the change
This level of detail ensures full visibility and accountability, making it easier to track vehicle usage, investigate issues, and audit assignment changes when needed.
