Delivery Drivers and the Delivery Pickup Schedule (Overview)
Using the Delivery Driver App
This refers to a delivery driver downloading the HirePOS app from the Apple iOS App Store, or navigating to mobile.hirepos.com and logging in using any portable, internet-connected device.
What the Driver Can See
When a driver logs into the HirePOS delivery driver app, the screen will initially show only jobs scheduled for today.
Jobs are listed in chronological order (earliest to latest) within the selected date range. By default, only today’s jobs are shown, which helps ensure the driver doesn’t accidentally action jobs meant for yesterday or tomorrow.
If the driver needs to look ahead or review missed jobs, they can adjust the filters:
Date Range – Change from ‘Today’ to a custom range (e.g. entire week)
Show Missed Jobs (Last 7 Days) – Include jobs that were assigned but not completed
Hide Completed Jobs – Remove finished jobs from view
Hide TBA Jobs – Hide unscheduled work
Show First Item – Display a brief label for quick job identification (e.g. item or unit type)
Each job on screen shows:
Job type: Delivery, Pickup, or Service
Scheduled date and time
Optional item label if “Show First Item” is enabled
What the Driver Can Do
For each job, the driver can tap to:
View Job Details
Address (with integrated Google Maps link)
Contact person and phone number
Items involved (e.g. hired equipment, units, packages)
Internal notes added by the admin team (e.g. access instructions, special requests)
Launch Directions
Opens Google Maps with the job address pre-filled — no need to retype.
Add Notes
Add internal-use notes to record:
Delivery conditions
Access issues
Pickup observations (e.g. damaged item, extra cleaning required, incomplete pack-down)
Tip or disposal notes, if relevant
Notes are saved against the job and visible to the admin team. They are not shown to the customer unless explicitly added to external communications.
Take Photos
Use the phone’s camera to capture:
Proof of delivery or placement
Item condition at pickup
Site issues or obstacles
Tip receipts or load confirmations
Photos are stored securely with the job for later reference.
Collect Signatures
Customer or site contact can sign on the driver’s device.
Signature is timestamped and saved with the job.
Complete the Job
Depending on system settings, the driver will either:
Use a checklist to confirm each item has been handled, or
Tap a Complete button to finish the job.
If surcharges or additional items need to be added (e.g. extra hours, relocation, damage), these can be recorded during the check-off process.
How Jobs Appear for the Driver
Jobs only appear in the driver’s app if they meet both criteria:
They are created in HirePOS as a booking, hire, or service job
They are assigned to that specific driver (via the Delivery Via field)
If a job is not assigned, it will not appear in the driver’s view.
Admins can assign jobs using:
The Delivery & Pickup Schedule (Allocation view)
The Driver Group view for visual assignment
Directly on the booking or hire screen using the Delivery Via dropdown
Admins can also drag-and-drop jobs using the Driver Calendar view to control the order of the run sheet.
Missed or Overdue Jobs
Jobs not marked as completed by their scheduled date will remain in the system:
The Reminders screen in HirePOS will show these as overdue
Drivers can choose whether or not to display these in their app using the “Show Missed Jobs” setting
Some businesses choose to reassign missed jobs manually the next day, while others expect the same driver to complete them. The app can support either approach.
