Your company operates its own fleet of trucks. One part of your planning process is the assignment of drivers. To which of the following can you assign drivers in the transportation cockpit? Note…

Question

Options

• AFreight order stage
• BVehicle resource
• CFreight unit header
• DFreight order header

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  88% (44)
• C
  8% (4)

Explanation

In SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM), drivers can be assigned at the freight order header level (D) because the freight order is the execution document that governs the actual truck trip, and the driver is responsible for the entire order. Drivers can also be assigned to a vehicle resource (B) because a vehicle resource represents the physical truck in the system, and pairing a driver with a vehicle is a natural resource-planning action within the transportation cockpit.

Option A (freight order stage) is incorrect because a stage is a sub-leg of a route - driver assignment happens at the overall header level, not broken down per leg in the cockpit. Option C (freight unit header) is incorrect because freight units represent cargo/shipment items to be planned, not transportation execution documents - you assign drivers to the vehicle or order, not to the load itself.

Memory tip: Think "who drives what" - a driver is linked to either the vehicle they operate (B) or the order they execute (D). Stages and freight units are about route segments and cargo, neither of which "needs a driver" assigned directly.
