The Vehichaul Split / Divert load feature will allow you to create internal loads to dispatch to your drivers, WHILE only send emails and EDI for the original load pickup and destinations. This will allow you to divert the load without the customer knowing about the internal loads. You invoice for the original load, and pay the drivers for the internal loads.
Create a new load, or select a load that is NOT currently assigned
NOTE: If a load is already assigned to a driver, or enroute it can not be split, you will have to unassign the driver and make sure to reset the pickup signature to split the load
Click on load number to view the load details
You should see "Split" button in the carrier section next to the assign button
NOTE: If you do not see the Split button contact Vehichaul support to get that feature enabled
Click the Split button to divert the load, and create two child loads
Select an Address to use as the Diversion location, Vehichaul will automatically create two loads
The first leg will be from the original pickup to the diversion address
The second leg will be from the diversion address to the original location(s)
You can set the payable for each leg, if you select percentage, it will be calculated from the TOTAL PAYABLE for the existing load
Load details are displayed at the bottom of the screen for informational purposes (pickups, deliveries, vehicle details, etc...)
When you are ready to split the loads click the orange "Split Load" button, and a confirmation popup will display, select yes to continue with the split, select no to make additional changes before the split
After the split it will return you to the Loads Dashboard, where you will see the original load with a status of "Split", and two new loads in the "New" Status
Assign Drivers to the "New" loads per usual, the "Split" load can not be assigned directly but it's status will automatically update as the child loads are picked up and delivered.
When you view the parent load, you will see a "Split" section instead of the standard Carrier Section, it will show the child load info with links
The child loads will show the standard Carrier section, but with an additional link to the Parent load
The drivers assigned to the child loads will not see the parent load, and it will automatically update as the child loads are picked up and delivered
The signatures for the actual destinations will be used as the signatures for the matching destinations on the parent load
The parent load BOL will be displayed in the ePOD app when they drivers are dropping off the child loads at the final destinations
Email notifications will ONLY be sent out for the parent load
You create invoices for the original Load, you CAN NOT create invoices for the child loads
You create Account Payable records for the Child loads, you CAN NOT create payables for the parent load (it was never assigned to anyone)
