Managing DriversDriver Shift Summary Export

Driver Shift Summary Export

Download a CSV of your drivers' shift start and end times for a schedule week, ready to reconcile against payroll.

The Driver Shift Summary export gives you a CSV of every shift your drivers worked in a schedule week, with the start and end time of each one. It's built for reconciling hours against payroll, so the file opens in a spreadsheet and is ready to use without cleanup.

Downloading the export

  1. From the Copilot dashboard, go to Command Center in the side navigation.
  2. Navigate to the schedule week you want.
  3. Click Download.

The export covers the schedule week you're currently viewing. Keep in mind that a Copilot schedule week isn't the same as a calendar Monday-to-Sunday week.

What's in the file

There's one row per driver and block, with a column for each of:

  • Driver
  • Block date
  • Route identifier
  • Route type
  • Start time
  • End time

Rows are grouped by driver, so every row for a driver stays together. Drivers are ordered alphabetically by last name and then first name, and each driver's blocks run earliest date first.

Recorded and estimated times

Where Copilot has a recorded actual start or end time for a block, that's the value you'll see. Where it doesn't, the file falls back to the scheduled time and marks the value so you can tell the two apart. Start and end times are worked out separately, so a single row can carry one recorded time and one estimated one.

Estimated end times are based on the standard length of the route type, so they tend to run longer than the shift actually did. Check any marked value before using it to approve payroll.

To get recorded times filled in for you, GeoTab HOS Integration pulls actual start and end times from GeoTab as routes become historic. You can also enter them yourself — see Actual Route Start and End Times.
