In this article, you will learn how to share the routes you've built in Dispatch Connect with your drivers via the Mobile App.

Send a Route to a Driver

Once a route has been created and optimized to your liking, you are ready to send the route and details to your driver.

First, you must ensure that a driver is assigned to the vehicle for the day. To assign a driver to a vehicle, click the Select Driver dropdown and choose the driver you wish to complete the route.
