Review what happens at each delivery site
Choose a route with several deliveries and describe the driver’s responsibilities at each address. Distinguish arrival, waiting for access, handling work and departure. A route plan should not be copied into the driver record as though every scheduled event occurred as expected.
Add one realistic change, such as a site that cannot receive the load. Establish who reviews the new route and how the driver’s remaining work is considered before another stop is added.

Bring the actual truck configuration
Ask Factor ELD to demonstrate the documented vehicle-selection and log-review workflow for the proposed product. Give the team distinct truck, engine, connector and mobile-device combinations rather than a single fleet-wide assumption.
Proof of delivery, inventory and crane or forklift activity are separate questions. Include additional tools only when the provider confirms the exact available feature and plan.
For the broader fleet discussion, see delivery. Use the ELD rollout checklist to assign training and review responsibilities, and check ELD applicability for the actual operation.
Building materials delivery questions
Does a logged stop prove the customer accepted the materials?
No. Keep delivery acceptance and inventory records in their proper process.
Can the dispatcher add another address based only on remaining mileage?
Review the complete assignment, including actual driver work and applicable time limits.
