Schedule Routes |
Route scheduling can be completed for single or multiple routes with the option to specify actions and change truck, driver and helper as changes occur. Also see Related Tasks.
Important Note: Once a route has been Scheduled, any changes made to the Permanent Route such as; Add New Customer, Remove Customer, Change in Services, etc., will not appear until the next time the route has been Scheduled.
