Driver Hours

You need an estimate of your drivers' hours because you pay them by the load and they do not keep time sheets. Government tax authorities often require the hours worked as part of payroll reporting.

Focus:

Focus of Report is to calculate the hours worked by your truck drivers based on your load tickets. The report takes the loads for each driver and multiplies the count by the average trip (cycle) time that you have set up for each block. This is an estimate of the hours worked by each specific driver.

Selection Window:

The selection window allows you to filter the report by:

Date Range: You can either select a pay period, or you can simply enter the start and end date directly into the selection criteria window. The Period selection is merely a short-cut for entering a date range, so you can always edit the start and end dates to be any date you choose. For example, you can pick a period defined as 8/1/2004 to 8/12/2004, and then extend the end date by three days to 8/15/2004. If you leave the end time blank, the program will assume you want the entire day for the end date. In the example below, the start date/time is 8/1/2004 00:00:00 (a blank is assumed to be time 00:00:00) and the end date/time is 8/15/2004 00:00:00. Because the end date time is blank (or 00:00:00), the program assumes you want the whole day of the 15th and makes the end date/time 8/16/2004 00:00:00. In the selection query, the program returns records whose start date/time is greater than OR equal to the start/date time and strictly less than the end date/time.
Note: for report information that is based on load tickets, the report uses the Date Out (not the Date In).
Driver. You can select any or all of your Drivers. The first column shows the driver's code; the second column shows the driver's full name.
The Summary Data Only allows you to generate the report showing only the subtotals by Driver.

Detailed Description:

The selection criteria determine the date range drivers that appear in the report. The report is based on your loadslip entries and the average trip (cycle) times that you have set up for each block. The average cycle times are those that you set up when you open a block:

The trip time is the round trip time.

The report shows the loads delivered by each driver and the average trip times.

For each load, the columns are:

Driver: Truck Driver
Date: Date of the load
Ticket: Load ticket number
Block: Source Block
Destination: Destination of the load
Time In: Entry time of the truck out of the yard of the current load
Time Out: Exit time of the truck out of the yard of the current load
Truck Code: Truck code (number) for the load
Route: Route code of the load
Net: net weight of the load
Volume: Volume of the load
Trip time: Average trip time as identified for the block/destination combination
