What you’ll learn
- Confirm actual load and departure.
- Handle changed resources and route instructions.
- Use tracking with its evidence limits.
Useful terms
- Dispatch
- The controlled release of actual goods and resources into movement.
- Telemetry
- Device or provider observations that may be delayed or incomplete.
Step-by-step operating routine
Confirm load and safety
Check package or load quantity, condition, weight evidence and secure loading with trained staff. Resolve discrepancies before release. Apply lawful limits and the vehicle’s handling requirements rather than treating software capacity as permission.
Record or confirm- Loaded quantity
- Condition
- Weight evidence
- Safety check
Check the movement papers
Ensure the driver has the correct booking, invoice or challan, statutory movement reference where applicable and site instructions. Confirm papers refer to the actual goods and assigned equipment.
Record or confirm- Document pack
- Source reference
- Vehicle
- Receiving contact
Record actual departure
Save departure time, resources and the loaded quantity. A repeated submission must not create another movement or double the load. Keep the planned departure for comparison rather than overwriting it with actual time.
Record or confirm- Actual time
- Vehicle / driver
- Quantity
- Dispatch reference
Manage transit exceptions
Use fresh observations and safe communication to investigate delay, breakdown or changed receiving arrangements. Assign an owner, next action and review time. Record an estimate as an estimate, including its basis.
Record or confirm- Exception
- Observation time
- Owner
- Recovery plan
Review changes before continuation
If changing vehicle, route or carrier, check readiness, custody handover and any required external document action. Preserve the old assignment and effective time so the actual journey remains reconstructable.
Record or confirm- Change reason
- New resource
- Handoff evidence
- External update
A breakdown and a substitute truck
After departure, a truck becomes unfit to continue. The team prioritises safety, arranges approved replacement capacity and records the actual goods handover and condition. Relevant movement records are updated through the required process. The original resource and breakdown history remain visible; simply editing the vehicle name would lose the journey evidence.
- Preserve both assignments and times.
- Count and inspect the transferred goods.
- Verify required external updates separately.
Exceptions and mistakes to avoid
- Never ask a driver to operate the app while driving.
- Do not backfill a departure time to hide a missed cutoff.
- A stale or missing tracker reading must not be labelled live.
Dispatch and change log
Retain each material change with its effective time and owner.
| Movement | Actual departure | Loaded quantity | Change / exception | Evidence reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trip 001 | Recorded local time + timezone | Actual loaded count | Replacement truck after breakdown | Handoff evidence |

Check your understanding
Try answering first, then open the explanation. Use the worksheet and source records to practise the task.
Does a position near the receiver prove delivery?
No. Delivery requires acceptance evidence and the actual quantities received.
What must survive a vehicle change?
The original and new resources, effective times, custody handover, reasons and required statutory acknowledgements.
Put it to work with HiVAM
Use these connections to explore the relevant product workflows. Confirm access in your deployed release; API capabilities require an integration or an available interface.
Pickup, package labels and loading scans
Confirm what actually entered the departure.
Odometer, fuel imports and telemetry evidence
Distinguish fresh, stale and inferred journey evidence in the published API capability.
