Step 3: Export stops
As you can see, there’s a list of ‘stops’ and their status, as well as who they’re assigned to. On the top right corner, click the arrow going down to export your stops (or you can skip straight to the next step if you already have a spreadsheet ready).

Step 6: Enter details and click ‘next‘
Enter in your trip details then select ‘next’. This will allow you to see your selected stops so you can make any last minute changes. Click ‘next’ again and you’ll then see your drivers.
If all is on the right track, keep clicking ‘next’
