# Trucking

> Dispatch drivers, plan routes, and follow every delivery to the customer.

Trucking moves finished orders from your operation to the customer. Dispatchers assign and balance loads; drivers get a focused view of their day.

## Dispatch: assigning drivers

From the trucking board (or the Dashboard's **Assign Truckers** quick action), open **Select Driver** to see your **available drivers** and hand out deliveries. Assigning many orders at once? Terrace can split them:

* **Even split**: spread orders evenly across drivers.
* **Fewest loads**: pack orders into as few trips as possible.
* **Sequential**: keep them in order, one driver at a time.

Each delivery shows a load estimate (**Light Load**, **Moderate Load**, or **Heavy Load**) and a delivery window: **Morning**, **Afternoon**, **Evening**, or **Anytime**. The board surfaces **Conflicts** when assignments collide, plus stats like **Active Routes**, **Completed Today**, and **Revenue**.

Delivery assignments move through: **Unassigned** → **Assigned** → **Scheduled** → **In Transit** → **Delivered**, with **Overdue** flagged automatically.

## Routes and the map

Terrace plots deliveries on a live map with **Truck Location**, and routes respect your preference: **Fastest**, **Standard**, **Local Roads**, or **No Tolls**.

## The driver's view

Team members with the **Trucking** role skip the operation dashboard and land on their own workspace:

* **Today's Plan**: the day's deliveries in sequence.
* **My Deliveries**: everything assigned to them.
* **Active Order**: the delivery in progress, with address, contact, items, and the actions to mark it picked up and delivered.
* **Order History**: what they've completed.

As drivers update their deliveries, the linked orders move through **In Transit** and **Delivered** for everyone else watching, with no radio check-ins required.

<Note>
  Assigning drivers is permission-gated (`Assign Drivers`), separate from changing order status, so dispatchers and drivers each get exactly the controls they need.
