To invite a new driver to your company, go to the "Users" page of the carrier portal and click "Invite User" in the top right corner.
Set the Driver's Pay and Assigning their Truck
Select the checkbox "This user is a Driver". If you would also like to give them access to the Carrier Portal to manage and see payments to the company, check "This user is an Admin"
Fill in the driver's phone number, name, email, and enter a password for them.
Finally, set up the driver's pay model. 5F can help you manage your driver's performance by showing them what they are estimated to earn in the 5F OTR iOS or Android app.
Select from the 3 options below:
Full Gross
Show the driver the full amount of each load.
Percentage of Gross
Select this option if you pay your drivers a percent of each load. Enter the percent below.
None
If you pay your drivers hourly, daily, or in some other way - select None.
Assign the tractors and trailers that you have added in the Assets page of the Carrier Portal to drivers so we can calculate their net revenue using their truck's estimated Miles Per Gallon and Maint spend.
Make Sure the Driver Installs the 5F App
Clicking "Invite User" will send them a text with instructions on how to download the app. To use the platform, all drivers are required to use the 5F OTR app to schedule their hitches, accept and track their loads.
You can see if a driver has the app installed on the Users list.
