How to set any day's 'Start times' for any vehicle

This guide offers a quick overview of how to set any day's 'Starts time' for any vehicle.


Introduction:


Dropboy provides a feature to set up the 'start time' for any day at the vehicle level. This will be the default time set for the vehicle. The driver will see the start time for tasks on the task tile. It will be visible if you set it at the vehicle level. If you do not set it at the vehicle level, you will need to go to the dispatching tab daily and set the start time for the vehicle.
