Split SubPro Loads
A SubPro load occurs when you have multiple shipments (separate invoices) in the trailer at the same time.
A Split Load occurs when you have one truck pick the load up and another truck delivers it.
A Split SubPro occurs when you combine the two. For help with SubPros and with Split Loads please read the individual sections for each. THIS SECTION ASSUMES YOU ARE ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH BOTH OF THOSE PROCESSES. The program deals with Split SubPros by using the letters P & D FOLLOWED by the letter for the SubPro. So to enter the pickups for a Split SubPro you would have 1000PA, 1000PB, etc. To enter the deliveries you would have 1000DA, 1000DB, etc.
As with any Split Load the Pickup (P) portion and the Delivery (D) portion will be entered as separate loads with the P picking up at the original pickup locations for each of the SubPro portions and all of them delivering to the YARD or TRAILER SWAP location. The D will be the final delivery for each portion. You can break into this sequence anywhere necessary to insert a trailer swap and then continue the load. This is sometimes necessary to cover a truck breakdown.
For example: You have a truck that is running a SubPro load and he has picked up A, B & on the way to C the truck breaks down. You would then change the load to a Split SubPro. Change A and B to PA & PB and change the delivery for both of them to the location (Trailer Swap) where the breakdown occurred. You would then change PC so that stop1 was the Trailer Swap and stop 2 would be the actual Pickup location. You would then also need to add DA, DB & DC to take care of the deliveries for the three stops.
BILLING & PAYROLL CONSIDERATIONS -
The same rules will apply for a Split SubPros that apply to them individually. You will need to split the billing between the Pickup side of the load and the Delivery side of the load. You will also need to split the billing between the various SubPro portions of the load.
The INVOICE will get the individual customers portions from 1000PA, 1000DA and combine them to bill that customer.
Payroll will get the amount to pay for 1000PA, 1000PB, etc. and total them up. It will also get the portions for 1000 DA, DB and total them up.
SCHEDULING -
Watch your scheduling. Since Split SubPros use different trucks the program does not check the dates/times that you have scheduled the P & D portions for. It will check each individually but it does not coordinate the P & D so it's possible to have the D scheduled to pickup at the Trailer Swap before the P has been delivered to it. This will not cause any real errors but could have a driver waiting at the pickup for the driver who's picking up the load.
