On the booking form
Once the pickup date and time are set, choose a Driver. Their usual vehicle fills into the Vehicle box automatically. Change either whenever you like, or leave them and assign later.

- Go to Bookings and open the Needs a driver tab.

Bookings with more than one leg or journey show each one with its own driver and registration, so you can see at a glance which leg still needs someone.
