Set a Driver's Schedule
To create a schedule for an existing driver:
Navigate to the "Drivers" section of your account settings.
Choose the driver you would like to modify
Click the "Schedule" button. Schedules can be accessed/edited by double-clicking a driver in the sidebar, or via API.
Schedules can be defined on a week-to-week basis. Use the "+" symbol alongside each date to add breaks or fragmented shifts. Select "Save" to apply these changes.
Note: If a Driver does not have a personal schedule defined, their schedule will reflect your organization's Default Schedule unless disabled.
Set a Default Schedule
For drivers that do not have a defined schedule in place, your organization's default schedule will be used to determine the availability of a driver selected during Route Optimization. The default schedule will cover the hours of 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM. You can modify this time window from within the "Optimize Tasks" modal by clicking the "Default Schedule" button. To customize the default driver schedule for route optimization, follow these steps:
Select multiple tasks in the Onfleet dashboard.
Choose the option to "Optimize tasks."
In the Drivers section, click on "Set default driver schedule."
Enter the desired schedule (e.g., 8:00 AM–5:00 PM) and save. This schedule will be applied to future route optimizations unless a different schedule is specified for a particular driver.
If you want the tool to ignore selected drivers that don't have explicitly defined schedules, disable the default schedule by clicking the checkbox at the top of the modal. Tasks with scheduled delivery windows will always display the specified time frame to the driver, ensuring clarity for time-sensitive deliveries. For tasks without a scheduled delivery window, drivers will see their tasks in the optimized or manually set order. Dispatchers can monitor the Predictive ETA for these tasks in the dashboard, providing real-time insights into delivery progress.
