A typical task for a truck driver: you need to deliver cargo to several customers in different cities of the country.
Everything seems simple, but there is one small problem: the car will not have time to do it in one day and, accordingly, following the general scheme of our service, it will start to be late everywhere. The route will be «wrong», with delays and attempts to make it to places where it is impossible to make it in one working day. It is necessary to somehow tell the calculation module that we will have a route for several days.
For this, we use the multi-day routes option.
To set this parameter in the Route Formation field, click Additional parameters 1 > Calculation modes 2 > Multi-day routes 3:
The Qty of days of movement tab determines how many days the delivery can take place. If the Auto 3 option is selected, the number of days will be determined by the parameters in the application.
Using the multi-day route option will show you that the car can drive for several days and will not be late to any point. It will arrive at the point, wait for it to be open, unload and drive on. If the working day ends, the vehicle will stop and wait for a new working day, and so on, until it has arrived to all of the points.
Pay attention! Use this option only if you really have a route for several days. Remember that by turning it on, you are extending the route for an indefinite period. Don’t do it for general, everyday transportation.
If you are interested in the described functionality, we are ready to demonstrate its operation, perform the necessary settings and provide access to the service. To do this, leave a request on the ANT-Logistics website.
