How to create a new transport
There are 4 ways to create a new transport:
A simple form to create all your orders
🚀 Accelerate the transport creation & win time with the following methods :
You are doing recurring transports along the weeks? Save time by duplicating a transport: you can create one or several transports at once from an existing transport.
You are doing recurring transports for a shipper? Create a template : it is a model, a framework of transport, linked to a shipper. Once created, chose it from the creation form and the fields will be pre-filled !
Create a transport via Excel import (A > B only)
You can adapt your Excel file to our standard file, to import at once several transports from a client.
1. Create transport from the form
A) Click on "New Transport" button
B) Fill the form : only * are mandatory
Below is the list of items you can fill out in the creation form. Feel free to use the keyboard shortcuts to speed up your input.
The shipper*
The loading site*
You will be able to link a contact, a planned date and hour, references, instructions ...
The unloading (delivery) site
You will be able to link a contact, a planned date and hour, references, instructions ...
In the case of multi-loadings or multi-unloadings, you can add several pick-up OR delivery addresses by clicking on add a pick-up or add a delivery. You can't add several pick-ups AND unloading on a transport order: otherwise, Dashdoc will not be able to generate eCMR. To generate trips from several transports, see the dedicated article!
The load
From "load" tab, you chose:
The type of load (bulk, pallet..) : each will lead to a different flow in the app for the trucker
The estimated quantity and weight
If bulk load will be done in several rounds
If the transport is a rented order
Specific legal standards (dangerous goods...)
Multi-tank ...
The price
Chose the client to invoice and set the price calculation (flat or variable). You can later add a fuel surcharge on several transports at once.
The means :
Self-operated transport: chose the trucker and / or vehicle if you already know him, or go back to it from the planning.
Chartered / subcontracted transport: chose the carrier if you already know him, or go back to it thanks to the transport attribution.
💡 Good to know! you can choose to send or not the transport to the trucker / carrier, thanks to the checkbox.
You can wait until your planning is complete and send all the missions at once from the scheduler page.
Additional options of the creation form
Operating Instructions : Add instructions useful for operations that will be visible to the shipper, but not to the driver.
⭐️ More information on How to use the instructions on a Dashdoc transport ?
Business privacy
Activate the "business privacy" toggle to prevent the pick-up and delivery sites from knowing each others.
The carrier and the shipper will have all the information on the transport, but the pick-up and delivery sites will only see the carrier and the shipper. 2 eCMR will be created and no sharing available from the app.
Trackdéchets : Associate a BSD Trackdéchets number to facilitate its validation directly from your drivers' app.

Holder exchanges:
You can make it easier for your drivers by informing them of the number of holder expected at pickup (to be returned / picked up), and at delivery (to be delivered / picked up).
