Drivers can automatically bid on active jobs based on criteria they set for Zones or Capabilities. This allows more flexibility for drivers' preferences while reducing the amount of active work.
With Autobid, you no longer have to scroll through zones and physically interact with your device to initiate a bid request.
A job with multiple Autobid's from various drivers will be sent as a job offer to one driver only. The system uses the normal bidding rules to determine which driver receives the job.
Upon receiving an Autobid Job Offer, you will experience the normal Job Offer screen with the options to accept or reject.
To access this screen:
1. Open the right-hand menu and tap the option Autobid.
2. Enable Autobid by tapping the Enabled toggle to On.
In this menu, you can edit the options that control how Autobid functions on your device.
Radius
Selecting Radius in the menu opens a new screen, with the capabilities available for configuration. Each capability is togglable, enabling or disabling that particular criterion. Under each option is a setting for "Accept Jobs Within __ Miles/Kilometers", this controls the size of the area where Driver Companion will automatically bid on a job.
Note: The value must be greater than 0. Depending on the configuration in 365 Management, maximum Autobid radius values may limit your input.
Preferred Zones
The other configurable setting involves setting zones you want to receive Autobid job offers from, regardless of your radius settings. Now, drivers can automatically bid on jobs in areas they are interested in, for example, airport zones, without impacting their current position or any ongoing jobs.
