New option for planning Driver Breaks
If you have feedback or suggestions, please reach out — we'd love to hear from you!
We've added a new way to insert Driver Breaks into planned delivery routes. When viewing any route, click the three dots icon to the right of your currently active Route Options, and select Add break:
A modal will pop up - input the length (in minutes) of the break you'd like to insert, then click Save:
The break will be inserted in the stop table below, between the final stop in a route and the end location. Click and drag the handle (six dots icon) on the left-hand side of the entry to position the break anywhere in the route as desired:
Note: Driver Breaks inserted in this manner do not require that a route has a scheduled start time, and can be added at any time after a route is created (i.e. Driver Breaks do not need to be enabled as a Route Option before creating the route). If a route is manually re-optimized after a break has been added in this manner, a warning will display that the break will be removed upon re-optimization (but can always be added back again after re-optimizing):
For full details on enabling and configuring Driver Breaks for your routes, see the support article for this feature.
