Fleet Management Console Views

Prev Next

The Fleet Management Console displays Driver, Fleet Asset, Load, Map, and Calendar view information for managing Fleet operations. Four primary functions are completed with the Fleet Management Console. The banner contains a picklist with the options below. This article details the available functions for creating and using Fleet Management Console views. For initial setup information, see the article for the Fleet Management Module.

  1. Fleet Management

  2. Trip Planning

  3. Trip Building

  4. Appointment Setting

  5. Equipment Management

Follow the links to Trip Planning, Appointment Setting, and Equipment Management for specific view information.

Best Practices

Number of Views

Limit the number of views that are displayed in the Fleet Management Console as they directly impact the performance of the Console. Only display views specific to the task to increase performance. For example, some scenarios with recommended views are provided.

For assigning Tractors/Power Units and Drivers to one another:

  1. An unseated Drivers view.

  2. Available and unseated Fleet Assets view.

  3. A Calendar view, if necessary.

  4. A Map view, if necessary.

For Truckload Trip Planning:

  1. A Seated/Unseated Drivers view. OR

    1. A Fleet Asset (Tractors/Power Units) view.

  2. An Unplanned Loads view.

  3. A Trip Plans view.

For LTL Trip Planning:

  1. A Seated/Unseated Drivers view. OR

    1. A Fleet Asset (Tractors/Power Units) view.

  2. An Unplanned Loads view.

  3. A Freight Plans view.

  4. A Trip Plans view.

Number of Records

Make frequent use of the filters in the header section of each view. Column filters that are based on packaged (not custom) fields narrow the initial query. This improves the loading time to see records in the views. Do not create “open-ended” views that return all records for that view - for example, all Loads in a Load view. A strategy to prevent this is to use the Fleet field as a filter to only display Loads that are Fleet Loads.

Number of Columns

Limit the number of columns in a view as they impact the performance of returning and displaying records. Increase the performance when refreshing views by limiting the number of columns displayed in the view.

Query Limits

Limit the number of records that return for a single query. Two TMS Admin → Configuration fields limit the number of records to increase the speed to display them in the Console views. Use caution when decreasing the number of results. Set filters and ordering priority to ensure records are not overlooked.

  • Datatable View Query Limit

  1. Decrease the value of the results returned to improve performance.

  2. The default value is 500.

  • Freight Plan Load View Query Limit

  1. Specific to records in the Freight Plan Load grid view.

  2. Decrease the value of the results returned to improve performance.

  3. The default value is 200.

Return more results in views by increasing the field values.

Internet Speed

Slower internet connections may impact performance and view loading speeds.

Zone Logic

Create Zones with the Fleet box Checked to include Zones when managing a Fleet. The movement of Fleet Assets into and out of (inbound/outbound) Zones may be used to filter Fleet Assets. The following record types are located in a particular Zone based on the following rules.

  • Appointments

    • The appointment Account location.

  • Drivers

    • Seated Drivers: the current Truck location.

    • Unseated Drivers: the Driver Domicile.

  • Equipment (Trailers/Chassis/Containers)

    • Equipment is attached to a truck: the current Truck location.

    • Equipment is not attached to a truck: the last Drop Off location.

  • Fleet Assets (Trucks/Box Truck/Tractors/Power Units)

    • Fleet Assets not on a Trip Plan or Dispatched on a Load: current Truck location.

    • Fleet Assets on a Trip Plan: final Planned Truck location.

  • Loads

    • Loads not on a Trip Plan: Origin Pickup location.

    • Loads on a Trip Plan: any Pickup location.

  • Trip Plans

    • Trip Plan Legs: Set with Stop selection pairing.

    • Trip Plan Load Stops: Set with Stop selection pairing.

Manage Views

The Fleet Management Console Lightning Web Component is the primary component for performing Fleet activities. It allows for highly customizable views to display relevant Fleet operation information. A Fleet Management Console View consists of a specific type and is associated with filters. The filters on a view contain customizable search criteria to easily find the Drivers, Fleet Assets, Loads, Maps, and Calendars to complete Fleet Management tasks.

Users with the Fleet Management - Read Only setting are not able to interact with the buttons in the top banner.

Create, Clone, Edit, and Delete views to display Fleet information as required.

Select the View Manager button to list, create, view, and manage views.

Manage views with the following icons.

  • Check the box(es) to select a view or views.

    • Checked views display in the Fleet Management Console.

    • Checking or Unchecking views automatically updates and refreshes the Fleet Management Console.

  • The pencil icon edits the existing view.

  • The multiple icon clones the view.

  • The X icon deletes the view.

Select a Driver, Fleet Asset, or Load record and choose the Chatter icon to open the Chatter feed for that record.

Views may only be created, cloned, edited, or deleted one at a time. Click Save for the current view before continuing to another.

Choose the Refresh button button to update any view changes for all views in the Fleet Management Console.

Freight Plan Load Views

Create Freight Plan Load views that provide the ability to search for Customer Loads in a Freight Plan. The Customer Loads returned are those that have a Freight Plan Build Status of Partially Planned OR are planned for delivery to an intermediate Carrier Stop location in the date range set in the view header. Filter Freight Plan Loads based on the Carrier Load Inbound or Outbound for Customer Loads in the grid.

Freight Plan Load views are a powerful tool that provide an overview of the status and progress of all Carrier Loads moving the Customer Load.

See the following for term descriptions and examples of Freight Planning.

Use the header filters to search for Loads.

Increase speed and performance when searching for Freight Plan Loads by using the header filters. For example, select a Location to view Loads moving through that Location to view the status or may need additional planning. Adding filtering in the header reduces the number of database queries and returns results more quickly.

Driver Assignment

Driver Assignments refer to long-term pairing or “seating” of a Driver to a Fleet Asset (a Tractor or Power Unit), typically in the case of an owner-operator. Creating Trip Plans and adding a Driver or Fleet Asset that is a component of a Driver Assignment adds both records to the Trip Plan.

Select a Fleet Asset (Tractor) and click the Driver Assignment button to open the Fleet Driver Assignment Lightning Web Component. This LWC displays existing Driver Assignment records and allows users to create, modify, or delete existing Driver Assignments. If multiple Fleet Assets are Checked when clicking the Driver Assignment button, the Driver(s) are only assigned to the first Fleet Asset.

Driver records must be created first before creating Driver Assignments. See additional information for creating Drivers here.

One or Two Drivers may be assigned to a single Fleet Asset (Tractor).

Driver records with a populated Co-Driver field are considered a Team. Assigning the Driver to a Fleet Asset assigns both Drivers. The Driver Type column displays Team instead of Solo.

Driver Assignments continue indefinitely if no End Date is provided.

Drivers may be removed from a Driver Assignment with the Unassign button or the Delete button.

If a Driver is assigned to another Fleet Asset, the TMS automatically unassigns the Driver from the existing Assignment. The Driver is then assigned to the Fleet Asset of the new Driver Assignment.

When Unassigning a Driver Team, both drivers must be Unassigned from the Fleet Asset.

Historical Driver Assignments are listed for the Fleet Asset.

Driver Assignment records are available on the Driver and Fleet Asset records. Always edit and delete Driver Assignments from the Fleet Driver Assignment LWC and not any of the related lists on the records.
