Driver Transactions

TripDirect Transactions

In TripDirect, there are 4 different types of transactions that can be added to an approved trip:

  • Vehicle Transactions: Cost Per Mile or Flat Fee
  • Driver Transactions: Labor Hours or Labor Costs
  • Purchase Transactions: Fuel, Tolls, Parking Costs, etc.
  • Vendor Transactions: Charter Buses, Rental Car Companies, Airlines, Travel Agencies, etc.

 

Transportation costs can be added before or after the trip is completed. Vehicle, Driver, and Vendor Assignments must be made before those Transaction links become available. The Purchase Transaction link is always available.

How to Add Driver Transactions

  • Go to an approved trip request and scroll down to the Actual Costs section.
  • Click on the Add Driver Transaction link. A pop-up window will appear. *Note: A driver must be assigned to the trip for the link to be active.
  • Indicate whether this is a round-trip transaction or a multi-segment transaction by selecting Departure, Return, or Both.
  • If only one driver is assigned to the trip, they will automatically be selected in the Driver field. If there are multiple drivers assigned, you will need to select the correct one for this transaction.
  • The Trip Departure date will automatically populate in the Date field. However, you can change this by typing in a new date or clicking the calendar icon to select a different date.
  • Select the Actual Begin and Actual End Time.
  • If you have a Show-up Cost for this driver, check the box to apply it to this transaction.
  • Click Get Rate Details. This will pull the Show-up Cost and Hourly Wage that you have assigned to this Driver on the Driver Shift page and calculate the cost based on the Actual Begin and Actual End Times. You can make adjustments to the hours and charges on this screen and click Calculate Rate to update the charges.
  • Click Add Labor Transaction to enter the charges on the trip. If there are multiple drivers assigned to the trip, you can add transactions for each of them.
  • Click Close this window to close the pop-up window and return to the trip. *Note: If you click the red X in the corner of the pop-up to close the window, you may not see the transaction added to the list until you save the trip or refresh the screen.
