The short version
- Check the vehicle and gas inputs before driving.
- Capture each delivery trip while the shift is active.
- Review and correct the log before the next shift begins.
Before: confirm the inputs
Check the vehicle MPG and gas-price values used for estimates. Confirm that the trip-tracking settings you expect are available before you begin moving.
- Confirm the active vehicle and MPG.
- Update the current gas price when needed.
- Check location access and trip settings.
During: capture only what helps
Record the delivery drive, keep time and mileage visible, and use a customer update when a delay, arrival detail, or weather condition changes the handoff.
- Start or verify the delivery trip.
- Review the time, mileage, and gas estimate when safely stopped.
- Prepare and review a contextual customer message only when useful.
After: close the loop
End the trip, review the category and distance, and fix incomplete entries while the route is still familiar. Export records when you need an outside copy.
- Confirm that the trip ended.
- Review date, miles, duration, and category.
- Export a CSV or PDF for the period you want to keep or share.
Trip details, fuel estimates, messages, and exports—together.
Common questions
Do I need to review every trip immediately?
You can review later, but a quick check at the end of the shift makes missing or misclassified details easier to recognize.
Can the workflow work for other delivery apps?
Yes. The same trip, fuel-estimate, message, and review workflow can support drivers working on other delivery platforms.
