Multi-Leg is a new feature which allows transporters to load a job with multiple legs, this would be for a scenario where an item is picked up and transported to an intermediate destination such as a stock yard or depot and unloaded before it is loaded again and transported to the destination.

The new Multi-Leg feature also has additional features which have been developed in conjunction.

Once enabled, when you add jobs, you'll notice a blue truck icon, clicking this will add a leg to the job. The first line becomes the invoicing line, and the additional lines are the job activities. The individual Job activities are sent to the drivers app.

If you leave the driver unassigned, and assign the job to a vehicle only. All drivers who are linked to that specific vehicle will see the job in their driver app. When a driver accepts the job, this will then update the Driver field on the job to their name.

From the daysheet you will be able to see at a glance, who accepted the job.

If the job has been accepted by the wrong driver, simply Unassign the driver and the job will go back to "Ready to accept" and be available for all Drivers that have that vehicle assigned to them to accept.

This is a two vehicle job.

During migration, a separate leg (referred to as an activity line) will be created for each vehicle. The intended process for new jobs is to enter the meeting point for the exchange of load.

The Pickup vehicle will deliver to the meeting point, and the Delivery vehicle will have the meeting point as the origin.
For existing jobs that have two different vehicles assigned, the meeting point will be the vehicle doing the other leg as follows:

This is how the job will look once migrated.

The second leg is the delivery leg, so the associated income is allocated to the vehicle assigned to this leg.

Note: This only occurs for jobs which are migrated.
