Start travel to a job

Start travel timing before arrival so the system records that your crew is on the way to site.

Start travel to a job

When to use this

Use this when you are leaving for site and want to record travel separately from on-site work.

What you need first

  • You can open the job in My Work.
  • The job is assigned to your team.

Steps

1. Open the job. 2. Choose the field action button to open the travel/start flow. 3. Review the warnings for safety forms, asset pre-starts, and permits. 4. Choose Start Travel.

What happens next

  • Travel timing starts without starting the on-site job yet.
  • Safety forms and pre-starts are warnings in this flow, not hard blockers.
  • If travel is already running, the start flow changes to show that travel has already started.

If it goes wrong

  • If the system says the job is allocated to another team, stop and ask dispatch to reassign it before you travel.
  • If you started travel by mistake, use [Cancel travel before arrival](./cancel-travel-before-arrival.md) before starting the on-site job.
  • If the job will not start at all, read [Why you can’t start a job](../troubleshooting/why-you-cant-start-a-job.md).
