Assign a driver and vehicle

How to give a job to a driver, and how the licence checks work.

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.

If a driver's usual vehicle can't be used on that date, the box stays empty and a note tells you why.

From the list or the Dashboard

Any booking with no driver has an Assign driver button. Choose a name and it's done. You get a short chance to press Undo.

Several at once

  1. Go to Bookings and open the Needs a driver tab.
  2. Tick the jobs, or press Select all.
  3. A bar appears at the bottom showing how many are selected. Choose the driver there. Clear unticks everything.

What the driver receives

Once assigned, the driver is emailed the job with a calendar invite. If you change the driver, the new driver is told. More

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.
