As part of our continuous improvement of the Advanced Routing & Optimization solution, we're excited to release two new enhancements designed to improve the experience for drivers using the Geotab Drive app.

See Pick up vs. Drop off details for materials

Drivers can now see the specific Cargo Transfer Type for each material item associated with an assigned appointment. This means the driver's Advanced Routes view will clearly show whether an item is scheduled for Pick up or Drop off.

Why it matters

This feature enriches the driver experience by providing clear, specific action details right in the app. It enhances resource efficiency by ensuring the driver knows exactly what to do with each item, removing the need to check an external record or system for verification.

New navigation controls: Avoid tolls and set truck dimensions

We've added two powerful new customization options to the Advanced Routes navigation:

  1. Avoid tolls: Drivers can now toggle a setting to have navigation actively avoid toll roads.
  2. Custom truck settings: Drivers can manually configure their truck's specific dimensions for truck-safe navigation.

Why it matters

These settings give drivers greater control over their routes. The option to avoid tolls can help reduce operational costs for the business. The ability to customize truck settings is crucial for safe routing and allows for on-the-fly corrections or adjustments if a driver is in an unplanned resource.
