Plan daily delivery runs

Group deliveries into efficient runs and draft customer delivery texts.

The problem

Dispatch builds truck runs from memory and a whiteboard, and customers call to ask when their load is coming.

Step by step

1. 1Keep tomorrow's orders in a Google Sheet with address, weight/length and time windows.
2. 2Ask ChatGPT to group stops by area and truck capacity as a starting point.
3. 3Check and finalize each run in Google Maps.
4. 4Use Zapier to text each customer their delivery window from the sheet.

Copy-paste prompt

Here are tomorrow's deliveries (address, load length, weight, time window). We have [N] trucks with a capacity of [X] lbs and [Y] ft. Group them into runs by area, respect time windows, and list stops in a sensible order. Flag any load that does not fit.
