Introduction
The Driver App is a mobile application that enables drivers to receive and complete delivery routes assigned to them by planners. It simplifies the route execution process and improves overall operational efficiency.
The Driver App is primarily used by drivers, but it also benefits:
Planners: By ensuring drivers have the necessary tools to complete routes efficiently.
Logistics Operations: By providing real-time visibility into route progress and potential issues.
This guide is designed to help you get started with the Driver App and understand its main capabilities.
This guide is intended for drivers working with organizations that use our Transport Management System. If you are an independent contractor or self-employed driver working for Mover Logistics, please refer to the driver instructions from here.

FAQ
Can I sign up as a Driver for my Organization directly from the Driver App?
While it is possible for anyone to create a driver profile in the app, doing so will not give you access to your Organization's routes. To be able to execute routes assigned to you by your company, someone from your company has to add you as Driver.
