Geo-Fences

What are Geo-Fences?

Geo-Fences are virtual perimeters around a fixed location. The default setting in Freight Portal is set to a radius of 1 mile in diameter for any origin, intermediary, and destination assigned stops. Admin users who have access to the preference page can easily adjust this organization-wide setting in the Preferences tab within Freight Portal.

Custom location-specific geofences can also be created under the "Locations" area of the Visibility application. There is an article explaining this area as well inside this guide. 

How do Geo-Fences effect Shipment Status?

Origin Status Changed by Geo Triggers

1. When a driver enters the geo-fence radius at the origin, the shipment status will update to At Shipper.
2. As the driver exits the geo-fence radius from the origin, the shipment status will update to In Transit.
   1. The In-Transit status will be assigned through the entire length of the haul until the driver gets to the final destination.
