Overview
The leg split feature allows you to divide a single leg into two separate legs, each with its own route, division, and revenue allocation. This is useful when you need to reassign portions of a load to different drivers, divisions, or when operational requirements change mid-route.
Quick Answer: You can split a leg from either the Dispatch Board or the Orders page by selecting a split point between stops, assigning divisions to each leg, and choosing how to allocate revenue between them.
What is Leg Splitting?
Leg splitting creates two separate legs from one original leg by dividing the stops. This operation:
Creates a new leg (Leg #2) from the selected stops
Keeps remaining stops in the original leg (Leg #1)
Allows different division assignments for each leg
Enables custom revenue allocation between legs
Maintains all stop details, sequencing, and order information
Common Use Cases:
Driver needs to be changed partway through a route
Load needs to be split between different divisions
Operational changes require separate tracking of route segments
Revenue needs to be allocated differently across divisions
Where to Split a Leg
You can split legs from two locations in the system:
⚠️ Can only split leg that has 3 or more stops
1. Dispatch Board
Navigate to the Dispatch Board
Select your driver manager and driver
View the driver's jobs
Click the Split leg button on the leg you want to split
2. Orders Page
Open the order in the Orders list
Navigate to the Route tab
Expand the leg you want to split
Click the Split leg button
Both methods open the same split leg dialog and follow the same three-step process.
How to Split a Leg
The leg split process has three steps:
Step 1: Select Split Point
View the leg stops: All stops for the leg are displayed in sequence
Drag the divider: A blue divider appears between stops. Drag it to position where you want to split the leg
Choose your split point:
Stops above the divider remain in Leg #1
Stops below the divider move to the new Leg #2
Click Next to continue
Important Notes:
At least one stop must remain in each leg
You cannot split at a stop that would leave no stops in either leg
Completed stops are included in the split preview
Step 2: Assign Divisions and Trailer
Assign Divisions
You can assign or change divisions for both legs:
Leg #1 Division: Select a division for the original leg (or keep existing)
Leg #2 Division: Select a division for the new leg
The system allows you to:
Keep both legs in the same division
Assign different divisions to each leg
Change the original leg's division if needed
Assign Trailer (Optional)
Toggle Assign trailer if you need to assign a trailer to the new leg.
When enabled: The trailer will be assigned to the first stop of the new leg (Leg #2). When to use this:
The new leg requires a different trailer than the original
A trailer needs to be picked up at the split point
Trailer assignment changes between leg segments
Click Next to proceed to revenue splitting.
Step 3: Split Revenue
This final step allows you to allocate the order's revenue between the two legs.
Revenue Display
The screen shows:
Total order revenue: The complete revenue amount from the order
Leg #1 details: Mileage and allocated revenue
Leg #2 details: Mileage and allocated revenue
Remaining revenue: Amount not yet allocated
Split Options
Split Equally
Click the Split equally button
Revenue is automatically divided equally between all unlocked legs
If any leg has locked revenue, only the remaining revenue is split equally among unlocked legs
Custom Split
Click the Custom split button
All unlocked leg revenue fields are set to $0.00
Manually enter the revenue amount for each unlocked leg
The system displays the remaining unallocated revenue
Revenue Allocation
For each leg, you can:
Enter revenue amount: Type the dollar amount in the revenue field
View percentage: See what percentage of total revenue each leg represents
Lock revenue: Click the lock icon to prevent automatic recalculation
Important: You cannot split revenue if you don't have the adjust revenue permission.
Lock Revenue Functionality
What is Revenue Locking?
Revenue locking allows you to fix a leg's revenue amount so it won't change when:
Other legs are adjusted
The order revenue changes
Stops are added or removed
The leg is modified
When you lock a leg's revenue:
That specific revenue amount is permanently assigned to that leg
Other unlocked legs will adjust to accommodate the locked amount
The locked amount won't be recalculated by the system
How to Lock/Unlock Revenue
To Lock Revenue:
Enter the desired revenue amount for a leg
Click the lock icon next to the revenue field
The lock icon becomes filled, indicating the revenue is locked
To Unlock Revenue:
Click the filled lock icon next to a locked leg
The revenue becomes unlocked and can be recalculated
The lock icon returns to its unlocked state
Lock Revenue Rules
At least one leg must remain unlocked:
You cannot lock all legs
The last unlocked leg's lock button will be disabled
This ensures the system can automatically adjust for order revenue changes
Locked revenue in equal split:
When you click "Split equally" with locked legs:
Locked leg revenue stays fixed
Only the remaining revenue (total minus locked amounts) is split equally among unlocked legs
Example:
Order revenue is $1,000.00. You have 2 legs.
Lock Leg #1 at $300.00
Click "Split equally"
Result: Leg #1 = $300.00 (locked), Leg #2 = $700.00 (auto-calculated)
When to Lock Revenue
Lock revenue when:
A specific payment amount has been agreed upon for a leg
You need to guarantee a division receives a certain revenue amount
Revenue should not change regardless of order modifications
You're splitting between owner-operators with fixed rate agreements
Regulatory or contractual requirements specify leg-specific revenue
Validation and Warnings
Revenue Validation:
Total allocated revenue cannot exceed order revenue
Each leg must have a non-negative revenue amount
The system displays remaining unallocated revenue in real-time
If you try to over-allocate:
The system prevents saving with an error message
Adjust leg amounts or unlock and use "Split equally"
Info Message:
"You can lock the revenue for individual legs to ensure the allocated revenue amount will not change under any circumstances. At least one leg has to remain unlocked."
Completing the Split
Once you've configured divisions and revenue:
Review your settings:
Check that stops are split correctly
Verify division assignments
Confirm revenue allocation totals correctly
Click "Apply split":
The system creates the new leg
Revenue is allocated as specified
Both legs appear in the order with their respective stops
Confirmation:
You'll see a success message: "Leg split successfully"
The page refreshes to show both legs
Each leg can now be dispatched and tracked independently
After Splitting
What Happens to Each Leg
Leg #1 (Original):
Contains the stops that remained above the split divider
Keeps the original driver assignment (if dispatched)
Updates with the new revenue allocation
Maintains any completed stop statuses
Leg #2 (New):
Contains the stops that were below the split divider
Starts with "Pending" status
Has the revenue allocation you specified
Can be dispatched to a new driver
Includes the trailer assignment if you specified one
Managing Split Legs
After splitting, you can:
Dispatch separately:
Assign each leg to different drivers
Dispatch at different times
Track completion independently
Adjust revenue again:
Navigate to the order's Billing tab
Click Adjust Finance → Adjust split
Modify revenue allocation between legs
Lock or unlock revenue as needed
Track independently:
Each leg appears separately in dispatch
Stop statuses update independently
Driver pay calculates per leg
Complete independently:
Legs can be completed at different times
Settlement processes separately per leg
Each leg generates its own driver pay
Important Considerations
Before Splitting
⚠️ Check completed stops:
If only completed stops remain in Leg #1, the system will automatically mark that leg as completed
You'll receive a warning before this happens: "After splitting the leg, the initial leg will be set as completed since only the completed stops will remain. Are you sure you want to proceed?"
⚠️ Revenue allocation:
Plan how revenue should be distributed
Consider if divisions have specific revenue requirements
Decide which legs need locked revenue
After Splitting
Cannot be undone:
Leg splits are permanent
You cannot merge legs back together
Plan carefully before applying the split
Revenue adjustments:
You can always adjust revenue split later from the Billing tab
Locked revenue remains locked unless you manually unlock it
Unlocked revenue recalculates when order revenue changes
Driver pay impacts:
Each leg calculates driver pay separately
Mileage is calculated per leg for pay purposes
Settlements process per leg
Adjusting Revenue Split Later
If you need to modify revenue allocation after splitting:
From the Orders Page
Open the order in the Orders list
Navigate to the Billing tab
Click "Adjust Finance" button
Select "Adjust split"
Modify revenue amounts:
Use "Split equally" or "Custom split"
Lock or unlock revenue as needed
Adjust individual leg amounts
Click "Save" to apply changes
This allows you to:
Change revenue distribution without re-splitting
Lock or unlock revenue for any leg
Respond to billing changes or corrections
Adjust for order revenue updates
Examples
Example 1: Splitting for Driver Change
Context: A driver can only complete the first half of a route due to hours of service limits.
Goal: Split the leg so a second driver can complete the remaining stops.
Steps:
Open the leg in the Dispatch Board
Click Split leg
Drag divider to position after the stops the first driver will complete
Click Next
Keep both legs in the same division
Click Next
Click Split equally to divide revenue evenly
Click Apply split
Result: Two legs are created. Leg #1 stays with the current driver. Leg #2 can be dispatched to a new driver.
💡 Tip: Split at a logical location like a customer stop or terminal where the driver handoff will occur.
Example 2: Splitting for Different Divisions
Context: An order crosses division territories and needs to be split for proper accounting.
Goal: Allocate appropriate stops and revenue to each division. Steps:
Open the order's Route tab
Expand the leg and click Split leg
Position the divider where division territories change
Click Next
Assign Division A to Leg #1
Assign Division B to Leg #2
Click Next
Enter custom revenue:
Leg #1: $800.00 (lock this revenue)
Leg #2: $400.00
Click Apply split
Result: Each division gets the correct stops and fixed revenue allocation for their territory.
Example 3: Splitting with Trailer Assignment
Context: A trailer needs to be picked up partway through the route for the remaining stops.
Goal: Split the leg and assign a trailer to the new leg's first stop.
Steps:
Click Split leg on the relevant leg
Position divider at the stop where the trailer will be picked up
Click Next
Keep divisions the same
Toggle Assign trailer ON
Click Next
Use Split equally for revenue
Click Apply split
Result: Leg #2 begins at the trailer pickup location with the trailer properly assigned.
