Splitting an order across two trucks

A five-car load rarely goes on one truck. Create a sub order on the original, tick the vehicles that are moving, and they come off onto a new order that dispatches on its own. The two stay linked, so the history of the job survives.

The money always adds up

Whatever the new order takes, the original loses. The dialog shows both sides as you tick, because this is the part that goes wrong quietly: copying the price onto the new order instead of moving it would double-count the job in every revenue report, and nothing downstream would catch it.

By default the split follows the vehicle count — three of five cars takes three fifths of the price and three fifths of the carrier pay. Type over either figure if the real split is different. A sub order cannot be worth more than the order it came from, and it has to leave at least one vehicle behind; to move the whole load, edit the original instead.

Split before you dispatch

Once a carrier holds the sheet, the order cannot be split. A dispatch sheet describes a specific set of vehicles, and taking some of them away would leave a driver holding paper for a load that no longer exists in that shape. Split first, then dispatch each part to its own carrier.
