Add and edit a driver

Add a driver to your fleet from the Drivers page, then keep their details up to date from the same drawer. This is roster administration — assigning a driver to a live delivery or route happens in Operate, not here (see manually assign a delivery).

Note

Fleet and this page are gated. Availability varies by organization — if you don't see it, reach out to Nash. When your access is scoped to locations, the Drivers page is read-only. Depending on your organization, a user scoped to driver groups can add a driver to one of their own groups through a limited Add Driver drawer, and edit the drivers in their groups through a profile-only drawer — see Scoped editing below.

Add a driver

On the Drivers page, select the Driver button (with the +) in the top right. This opens the Add New Driver drawer. Fill in the driver's details, then select Add to save.

Adding a driver here creates their record on your roster — it doesn't send them an invite. To get the driver signed in and working from their phone, see set up the Nash driver app.

Edit a driver

Select a driver's row to open their detail drawer. The drawer is organized into tabs; make your changes and select Save. The top of the drawer also shows the driver's availability and — for an enabled driver — a control to disable them (see set driver availability and enable or disable a driver).

Scoped editing

A user scoped to driver groups (see set up a Driver Group Operations user) can open any driver in their groups. Their drawer is profile-only: the General fields and availability, with no tabs, no Delete, and no Enable. They can't change the driver's phone number, vehicles, or driver groups. Their Add Driver drawer also takes an optional External Identifier, which applies when the phone number belongs to a new driver.

The detail tabs

A driver's drawer has up to four tabs.

General

The driver's core details:

• First Name and Last Name (required)
• Phone Number (required)
• Email (optional)
• External Identifier — your own reference for the driver (optional)
• Date of Birth (optional)
• Work Relationship — Contractor or Employee (optional)
• Driver's License (optional)

Vehicle

Link one or more vehicles to the driver under Linked Vehicles. The vehicles themselves — their type, dimensions, and status — are managed on the Vehicles page; see manage vehicles.

Driver Groups

Assign the driver to one or more driver groups. Groups control which drivers a strategy or route can draw from; manage the groups themselves under manage driver groups.

Capabilities

This tab appears for an existing driver when capabilities are in use. It shows the driver's capability records — each with a status such as Active, In Progress, Failed, Expired, or Not Started — and is where you add and edit them. A capability is a manual record you keep about the driver; it doesn't gate what the driver can be assigned. See track driver capabilities.
