Proof of delivery

Proof of delivery is what shows that freight was handed over: a signature from the person receiving it, photos of the goods, and the signed paperwork. In RushHour the driver captures this in the driver app while completing the stop, and your team finds it on the order afterwards.

Decide what drivers must capture​

Your company chooses what the driver app asks for under Settings → Driver App — see Driver app settings.

SettingWhereEffect
Require signature on deliveryFeatures tabDeliveries include a step where the recipient signs on the driver's phone. When it's off, there is no signature step at deliveries. On by default.
Require photos on deliveryFeatures tabDeliveries include a step where the driver photographs the goods. When it's off, there is no goods photo step at deliveries. On by default.
Block stop completion when requirements are missingFeatures tabWhen on, drivers can't move past the goods photo or signature step without capturing it. When off, the app warns them but lets them continue. Off by default.
Paperwork scanningFeatures tabWhether drivers are asked to scan bills of lading and other paperwork with the phone camera at a stop. On by default.
Drop Off promptsFlow tabSwitch off photographing the goods or the on-phone signature to leave those steps out of deliveries. The signing prompt doesn't affect paperwork scanning.

These settings apply in the current driver app on Android and iPhone.

Find photos and paperwork on the order​

Files uploaded by the driver app at a stop — for example photos of the goods — are attached to the order. To see them:

  1. Open the order.
  2. Select the Attachments tab.
  3. Under Paperwork, preview or download each file.

The same list includes files your team attached to the order, its stops and its items. Use Attach file to add your own, such as a signed paper bill of lading you received by email.

Share delivery paperwork with the customer​

To send shipping paperwork to a customer, open the order's bill of lading and email it from the viewer — see Business documents.
