Taxi Truck Consignments

TransVirtual supports Taxi Truck consignments, which are multi-leg consignments where a driver picks up freight from one location and delivers to multiple stops.

To enable this feature, go to Configuration > General > Global Setup > Consignment Related Rules and enable the Taxi Truck setting.

Taxi Truck consignment creation

Navigate to Home > Consignment Actions > Consignment Creation or Transport > Operational Tasks > Consignments > Create New.

An option to add a Taxi Stop is now visible, setting the leg number for each receiver.

  1. Select the relevant customer.
  2. Enter the sender information.
  3. Specify the number of receiver stops using the arrow selectors.
  4. Enter receiver information for each stop. Stop 1 appears at the top and subsequent stops follow in order.
  5. Fill in service level, consignment items, and any additional details.
  6. Click Save to create the consignment.

The consignment shows stop information in the pickup special instructions. Taxi Truck consignments are created as pickup-type consignments.

After creating the consignment, assign items to each stop:

  1. Click on a receiver/stop.
  2. Click Edit Mode, update the consignment items for that stop, and click Save.
  3. Repeat for each stop. Once assigned, clicking each stop shows which items go to which location.

To add extra stops or modify stop details, use the Taxi Truck Jobs tab. Use the bin icon to delete a stop, or click View Consignment to view a stop as its own consignment.

Deliver a Taxi Truck consignment via mobile

Assign the consignment to a driver via the pickup allocation screen. See Pickup Allocation for details.

On the driver device, a pop-up alerts them to the new pickup.

  1. Open the delivery page and tap OK to acknowledge the pickup.
  2. Check the checkbox to confirm you are actioning the pickup.
  3. Review the items to pick up.
  4. Tap the pen icon, capture a signature, and tap Complete.

Load scan the freight onto the device. Legs then appear as separate consignments in the delivery page.

  1. Check each leg checkbox, deliver, and sign for each stop. See Consignment Delivery.
  2. Capture a signature, then tap Complete. Repeat for each leg.

A separate POD is generated for each leg.

Extra Information

Taxi Truck consignments do not support EDI functionality and cannot be assigned to linked TransVirtual accounts. Use within your own account only.

The consignment copy function cannot replicate Taxi Truck legs. Each new Taxi Truck consignment must be created from the consignment creation page.

If labels print blank, check that receiver leg items (quantities and weights) have been entered for each stop.
