Driver coverage

Schedule shuttle drivers around real demand and real availability.

Is the Shuttle Running helps managers build coverage without losing the distinction between who was scheduled, who filled in, and who actually drove.

Direct answer

How does Is the Shuttle Running handle shuttle driver scheduling?

Is the Shuttle Running builds driver coverage from the transportation window, each driver's work schedule, and workload rules. Managers can override an assignment when operations require it, while the system preserves the planned driver and records actual driving separately.

Coverage that understands more than a name on a calendar

Schedule availability

A driver should only be recommended when their employee work schedule meaningfully overlaps the shuttle coverage window.

Fairness and workload

Is the Shuttle Running can use prior workload and make-up priority so repeated coverage does not quietly fall on the same person.

Manager control

Automatic planning remains advisory. Authorized managers can assign a different driver and record why the operational decision changed.

Actual-driver tracking

If another driver covers the work, the scheduled driver stays intact while actual sessions identify the person who physically drove.

What happens when a driver misses coverage?

Is the Shuttle Running can review a completed assignment outcome and apply future make-up priority when a scheduled driver missed or had someone else cover the assignment. That makes the fairness model operational instead of merely reporting total hours after the fact.

For midday coverage, Is the Shuttle Running can also work with more specific start and stop windows rather than assuming every driver has one continuous morning or evening block.

How does Is the Shuttle Running choose a driver?

Can a manager override the automatic assignment?

Yes. Managers can replace the suggested driver without deleting the original planning history.

What if somebody else drives instead?

The scheduled assignment remains intact. Is the Shuttle Running records the person who actually drove in the driving-session history so planned and actual responsibility do not get mixed together.

Yes. A reviewed missed or covered assignment can create future make-up priority so the workload can be rebalanced intentionally.
