Adding Drivers

Adding and Managing Drivers in SolBox

Drivers are required to operate the SolBox platform. They are assigned to manifests, vehicles, and complete their assigned manifests through the driver app.

Each driver must:

  • Have a unique name and login credentials for the driver app.
  • Be assigned a timetable based on their working hours and the orders they will complete.
  • Have start and finish locations defined in their profile (these can be set as the depot or customized within the driver profile).

Drivers can be added and assigned passwords at any time to allow mobile app access.
Each manifest requires both a driver and a vehicle assigned to complete orders through the driver app.

To Add Drivers:


      2. Click Drivers, then select New Driver.

   
  3. Fill out the driver’s details in the General tab.

            3.1 Driver Full Name
                  Each driver’s full name must be unique. This ensures that every driver in the system can be clearly identified and prevents duplicate records.

            3.2 Link to User
                  At Link to User, select Create New User, then create a username and password for the driver.



      3.3 Assign Timetable
            Click the drop-down at Timetable and select the timetable you previously created.


      3.4 Preferred Vehicle
            Click the drop-down at Preferred Vehicle and select the available vehicle you’ve already set up.


      3.5 Adding Driver Rate

            Adding a driver’s hourly rate provides detailed insights into driver-related costs. You can view a breakdown of expenses for driver hours and vehicle kilometers, with separate totals for each. This gives you greater visibility into your operational costs and supports more informed, data-driven business decisions.



      Here’s how it appears in the manifest order view.



      3.6 PIN Code, SmartMove Access, and Prestart Access

    • PIN Code – Serves as the driver’s password. If a driver forgets their PIN, an administrator can access the driver’s profile to retrieve or provide the code.
    • SmartMove Access – Tick this option to allow the driver to view and manage their assigned orders in the driver app.
    • Prestart Access – Tick this option to allow the driver to perform prestart checks on assigned assets before starting their runs.


      3.7 Start and Finish Locations
            Tick Start at Depot or Finish at Depot if you want drivers to begin and end their routes at the depot. Alternatively, you can enter specific addresses in the Start Location and Finish Location fields, then click the icon on the right side of each field to confirm the locations. When finished, click Save to save all driver details.



4. If your drivers have scheduled breaks, enter their break times under the Breaks tab and click Save.



5. Select the Zones you want to assign to the driver, then click Save Changes when done.

You are ready to use the new driver user to log in to the driver app. See How to use the driver app for more information.

Deleting Drivers

If a driver has left the company or is no longer participating in operational runs, you may remove them from your account to keep your records up to date. To delete a driver, navigate to the Drivers module, select the driver you wish to remove, and click Delete. Once deleted, the driver will no longer appear in any driver selection lists or be available for assignment to future runs.
