I’m running a contingency operation, what should I do?

Updated

From time to time, contractors may be asked to assist other contractors either within the same station or at another station. Whether you're helping out for a day or several weeks, here’s how to handle contingency operations in PackageRoute.

Short-Term Contingency

If you’re only planning to run a few days:

  1. Add and activate the route you’ll be running.

  2. Manually upload the manifest for the work area(s) you're servicing via the PackageRoute Web App.

How to upload the manifest via web app:

  1. In your Web App, click the Upload feature.

  2. Log in to MGBA:

    • Click on the FCC link.

    • Go to the Pick-Up and/or Deliveries tab.

    • Download the individual P&D Excel manifest(s) you want to upload (do not combine manifests).

  3. Save the file as a .XLS format.

  4. Click Browse in PackageRoute and locate your saved file(s).

  5. Drag and drop the file(s) into the upload box at app.packageroute.com.

Long-Term Contingency

If you’re running contingency in another station for an extended period:

  • You may want to add the other ISP operation to your account so you can receive live data.

  • This will ensure that route data, manifests, and driver assignments are automatically synced with PackageRoute.
