No special setup

A back-haul is not a separate feature. It is two (or three) orders dispatched to the same Driver — one order per direction. The driver switches jobs after each unload, so every load lands on the order that owns its material, customer, and rate.

Example: gravel out, RAP back

A truck hauls gravel from the quarry to a job site, and reclaimed asphalt (RAP) from the job site back to the yard. The driver’s day alternates between the two:
  1. Load gravel at the quarry, unload at the job site — logged on Job A.
  2. Switch to Job B. Load RAP, unload at the yard — logged on Job B.
  3. Switch back to Job A and repeat until both are done.
Add a third leg the same way — it’s just one more order.

Setup

1

Create one order per direction

Each order carries its own pickup, dropoff, material, customer, and rate. Job A and Job B in the example are two ordinary orders.
2

Dispatch both to the same driver

Both assignments appear in the driver’s Assigned menu on the Driver App.
3

Driver switches jobs after each unload

After unloading, the driver opens the other job and logs the next load there. Tickets, quantities, and pricing stay separate per order — the outbound and return legs can bill different customers.
Log return loads on the return order, not the outbound one. A RAP load logged on the gravel job gets the gravel job’s rate and customer. If loads keep landing on the wrong job, the fix is the switch after each unload — not editing tickets later.
