Booking a Driver for an Amazon Shift(s)

Booking a Driver for an Amazon Shift(s)

When you need a driver to complete an Amazon run for you, you can do the following: 


1) Click the Switch to Classic Entry button at the top of the screen. 


2) 
For the 'Start/End Address', enter where your truck is located (AKA your yard). For the 'Task at End Location', select 'Amazon Local' if it is a local Amazon trip, or select 'Amazon Overnight' if it is an Amazon trip that requires a layover. The system will automatically calculate the estimated shift time based on which option you selected. 



3) Fill out the remaining trip details as needed

4) In the 'Additional Notes' section, it is a best practice for orders like these to indicate to the driver when the additional stops will be confirmed, or what the shift will entail.
