Example: A driver has 5 customers on a street. He pulls into the first driveway to make a delivery, picks the customer, starts the delivery onscreen, and a message pops up and warns him that he is 332 feet from the customer address; Do you want to cancel or continue? Operations can review reports for address and data errors.

New. Search for account information from the main screen.

New. Improved Delivery Notes. Delivery specific notes (from the delivery list screen) now show up on the e-Fuel Mobile Delivery Info screen as well as the printed Delivery List for quick access to notes from dispatch or customer service.
