The driver can be selected from either the calendar page, or from the work order route.
There are two types of dispatches supported by TZ.
A soft dispatch (red envelope) is a work order where only dispatchers see the driver assigned to the load, and the driver is not yet notified.
A hard dispatch (green envelope) is a work order for which dispatchers have verified the driver assigned to the load.
After a driver is assigned to a load, verify the driver is notified by clicking on the red envelop. The red icon will change to a green icon, indicating the driver was notified successfully.

Dispatch can assign document images to each work order, or the driver can upload document images from their phone using the TZ mobile application.

After the document image is uploaded by the driver, and the operation date is submitted, the dispatcher reviews the document and date for accuracy.
