Load and Time Details

In case of empty movement, it also gives information like the destination of the driver, remaining duty/shift time, etc.

Filters

There are several filters at the top of the page to help you view the most relevant data. Filter by a particular driver list, Days, employment type (Owner Operator and Employee), and operation type (local, regional, etc.).
