Q

Quarterly Tasks: Late Drivers, what do you do?

A

If a driver is not onsite 15 minutes prior to CPT, a late driver ticket should be created in Case Management. Check FMC first to ensure the Guard Shack didn’t check a driver in but not communicate it to the Dock team. The system should auto-generate one, so search Case Management by VRID first. If no ticket exists, create one and copy “ind2-ob-dock” and include in EOS Dock Wash.
