Carrier guide
3 min readWelcome to Veleo. Your first job starts here.
Your account is ready. Now show where you operate and what you can carry. A few settings will prepare you to send your first quote.
Set up your depot
In Company settings → Depots, click Add depot. Search for the address and select a result. You can then adjust the map pin by up to 500 m. After adding the depot, click Save company settings. You can also add a depot from a vehicle form; there it is saved as soon as you confirm the dialog.
The radius is optional for your company address and every depot. Enter 0.1 to 30 km or leave it empty. A depot can be saved and assigned to vehicles without a radius. Adding a depot or entering a radius does not change your email preference. Do not enter zero; an empty field means this address has no radius.
Add your vehicles
Add your fleet in Vehicles. Enter each vehicle’s type, registration number, capacity and equipment, assign a depot and make sure the vehicle is active. Add bodies, semi-trailers or trailers as needed.
Accurate details help the system show requests your vehicles can handle. You need a suitable active vehicle to submit a quote.
Email alerts for new requests
In Company settings, under Email alerts for new requests, choose From all locations or Only within my radii. The first sends every available request matching your vehicles even with radii configured. The second sends only requests with a pickup, destination or stop within at least one configured company or depot radius.
Your notification choice also sets the default dashboard and request list view. You can change the website filter at any time without changing email preferences.
Changes to depots, radii and email alerts in company settings take effect only after saving. Until then, your previous settings remain in effect.
- Optional: 0.1 to 30 km in a straight line. Leave this empty if you do not want to set a radius for this address.
- “Only within my radii” requires at least one radius from 0.1 to 30 km for an address with a known location.
Even a long journey can start around the corner
Have a depot in Žilina with a 20 km radius and Only within my radii selected? If a request matches your vehicles and has a pickup, destination or stop in that area, you may receive an alert even for a Žilina → Košice journey. Merely passing through the radius without such a stop does not qualify.
For emails without a distance limit, select From all locations and save. You do not need to remove depots or radii. Only within my radii is available once at least one valid radius greater than 0 is configured. If you clear the last radius, select From all locations before saving. Changes to depots, radii and email alerts in company settings take effect only after saving. Until then, your previous settings remain in effect.
Add your drivers and send your first quote
Add your drivers in Drivers. You can send a quote before adding them, but you need an active driver to assign a confirmed job.
Open a suitable request and check the route, timing and transport requirements. Select a vehicle, enter your price and submit your quote. Include the journey from the depot and back when calculating your price.
- Your depot is set up and you have chosen your preferred email coverage.
- Vehicle details are up to date and the vehicles are active.
- Drivers are ready to be assigned a job.
- Your first quote is ready to go to the customer.
