What are Multi Legs?
A Multi Leg job in Allotrac is a way to group several related job segments (“legs”) into a single, managed workflow. Each “leg” represents one part of a journey—such as a pickup, transfer, or drop-off—that together form a complete job, even if different legs use different drivers, vehicles, or stops.
When to Use Multi Legs
-
Multiple stops or transfers: When a journey involves more than a simple point A to B—e.g., depot transfer, staged delivery.
-
Chain deliveries: Deliveries that require hand-offs or intermediate holding sites.
Typical Examples:
-
A delivery picked up from a warehouse, moved to a depot, then delivered to a customer.
-
Waste collected from several sites and consolidated at a transfer station, then delivered for disposal.
How Multi Legs Work in Allotrac
-
A Multi Leg job is a job containing two or more “legs” (each leg is a normal job, with its own origin, destination, status, and details).
-
The order of legs defines the workflow for the overall job.
-
All legs are visible and tracked together, so changes and status are reflected in real time.
-
If a Multi Leg job is reduced to a simple two-leg journey, Allotrac will convert it back to a single, standard job to keep things simple.
