What you’ll do

Add the drivers you dispatch who have their own account — Owner-Operators (O&Os) and contract drivers.
Internal drivers are not created here. An employee who drives for you is a user with the Driver role — create them in Users. Creating a driver on this page gives them their own account, like an O&O. You can’t convert the record yourself; contact support to remove it.

​
Before you start

  • A driver list with name, mobile phone, license info, and assigned truck (if any).
  • An O&O (Owner-Operator) is a driver who owns their own truck and works for you — they belong on this page.
  • Employees who drive for you are internal drivers — create them in Users with the Driver role.
  • Drivers belonging to a third-party hauling company are added through that Vendor, not here.

Walkthrough

1

Open Settings → Drivers

Click Add Driver.

Fill in driver details

Enter name, mobile phone, and email. Phone must be unique.

Assign default equipment

Pick the truck the driver usually runs. The driver app pre-selects it on shift start. You can override per shift. Set the unit as Internal if you own the unit or External if the driver owns the unit.

Set the Ext. ID (optional)

Paste the payroll or accounting system identifier if you settle drivers through an integration.
5

Send the driver app invite

The driver receives an SMS or email link to install the Tread driver app and log in.
