Common pitfalls

“Phone number already taken” can happen here too. It means that phone number already belongs to a driver record at another vendor or company. Contact Tread support with the driver’s name, phone number, and your company — support links the existing record so the driver keeps one app login. See Driver Lifecycle for the full pitfall.
