Can I import data for multiple drivers/vehicles from a spreadsheet?
Yes, you can! If you have many drivers and vehicles, it may be easier to enter them via a file import. Using this feature, Driver or Vehicle information is entered into a spreadsheet and then all the drivers or vehicles, and associated information, is imported into your profile. This can be a big timesaver, but the information needs to be arranged in a specific way.
If you are interested in using this feature ask your Provider Relations representative for a template.
What does all the different colored text in the DOCUMENTS tab mean?
The text is color-coded to help highlight items that require attention. At the bottom of the tab there is a legend (highlighted below in the green rectangle).
- Black text means the document is current
- Red text means the document is required but it’s missing.
- Orange text means the document is expiring soon.
