New Trip Example

What Is A Trip?

A New Trip is started when your load status changes, or when your destination changes for a multi-stop pickup or delivery. You add to a trip when you cross a state line, or make the final delivery for the trip. The miles for the trip are tied together by the ProNumber not the trip number. (Trip numbers are used by The Truckers Helper internal sorting system.)
