How It Works Step By Step #

1) First make sure your store has some orders in it

2) Now go to Google Maps > manage trucks and click Add Truck

Keep adding trucks until all of your delivery trucks for the day are added.

3) Now you can add your orders to your truck. Click the markers in the Route map in the middle of the page and select the truck you want it to go on.

4) After you have added your orders to the trucks, you can hover over Actions and print the packinglists, routes, and maps for each truck. Note that on the packing list the GPS points for each order will appear which you can add to your GPS.

5) If a truck is done having orders being added to it, click Finalize. Past truck shipments will show on the right side under Truck History

6) Please note that an order can be Sent and Returned, so basically an order will show up on the map twice. Once an order is assigned both a dropoff and pickup truck, it will no longer show up on the route map.
