How to add a pause between orders for a driver

This guide offers a quick overview of how to add a pause between orders for a driver.


Introduction:


Dropboy provides a feature to add a pause between orders for the driver. Adding a pause means taking a break for some time before moving on to the next trip. Let's learn how we can add a pause between orders.


Remember:You cannot move pause between orders. You need to remove or create a new pause if you want a pause between other orders.You can delete pauses.Changing the sequence of orders won't shift the pause.You can add multiple pauses between orders.
