Follow the saved route and see which customer tasks are completed.

Know what's on the truck at every stop.

The plan follows an empty bed, an empty container and a full container as different states. It can add the yard and landfill legs needed between your customer tasks, instead of leaving the dispatcher to fill in those trips mentally.

  • Drop-offs, pickups, swaps, live loads and dump-and-return tasks.
  • Container sizes and suggested available assets.
  • Existing job visits and estimates worked into the day.
  • Warnings when a size, location or working-hour constraint needs attention.

Start with the drivers you have.

Select the drivers who will handle the day's rental tasks and set their available hours. Review the proposed route before approving changes to the schedule.

Choose the drivers before asking Autopilot to propose the day’s route.

More than the shortest line between pins.

Rental dispatch has to account for what the truck is carrying. Autopilot builds a proposed route around your rental tasks, container sizes, available assets, yards and landfill stops, so you can review the full day's work together.

  1. Set up the day's work

    Schedule the deliveries, pickups, swaps and other rental tasks. Keep the required container size clear on each task.

  2. Choose your drivers and yards

    Set the available drivers, starting and ending yards, and working-hour preferences for the proposed routes.

  3. Review the proposed routes

    See the ordered stops, suggested assets and necessary load or landfill legs. Check warnings and tasks that could not be placed.

  4. Apply the plan

    Approve the route after review. Drivers can work the planned stops and record the actual unit moved when they complete the task.

A pickup needs more than a pin on a map.

Review what the truck carries, what the next task requires, and which stops need attention. Apply the proposed plan after the dispatcher checks it.

Questions about Rental Route Optimization

What to know before you put it to work.

Does the route include loading and landfill trips?
It can. The proposed plan includes necessary legs such as loading an empty unit at a yard, hauling a full one to a landfill and returning an empty to a yard. Review those stops before applying the plan.
What if the required dumpster size is unclear?
The planner uses the task's recorded size and supported asset or item information. When it cannot resolve a suitable size, it warns instead of guessing. Review the task details and run the plan again.
Are the mileage and arrival times guaranteed?
No. They are planning estimates. Cached road distance and duration are used when available; otherwise the planner estimates them. Traffic, on-site work and changes during the day can affect the actual run.
Is a driver's maximum working time a hard limit?
Working-hour preferences guide the plan. A route can exceed the configured maximum with a warning, so the dispatcher still needs to review the proposed workload.
