Introduction
FleetWatcher provides a configurable setting that determines how truck working time is calculated for the TCpT KPI. This setting defines the time window used in cost calculations, based on when trucks enter or exit geozones during a shift — not based on VST clock-in/out or pay rate rules.
Navigation
To access this setting:
Go to: MMS > Shifts > Add/Edit Shifts
Scroll to the bottom of the page, just above the Activate Shift buttons
Look for the First Enter to Last Enter/Exit Geozone TCpT Calculation Settings dropdown
Available TCpT Time Calculation Methods
Option | Description |
First Enter to Last Exit | Calculates time from when a truck first enters a shift-related geozone to when it exits the last time |
First Enter to Last Enter | Uses time from first enter to last enter only — ignores exit time |
Last Enter Only | Measures truck time based only on its last entry into a shift-related zone |
These options control how TCpT time is calculated for each truck on the shift. They are not used for Virtual Shift Tickets, shift display, or driver pay.
Why This Matters
The time window selected here directly affects:
Total working time assigned to each truck
The cost component of the TCpT KPI
How long a truck is considered “on shift” for cost evaluation
TCpT KPI Formula (Simplified)
TCpT = (Total Trucking Cost) ÷ (Tons Hauled)
Trucking Cost is based on:
Time spent on shift (as defined by this setting)
Truck’s hourly or load-based pay rate
Tons Hauled is based on scale tickets or load estimates
Example: First Enter to Last Exit
A truck enters the Source at 7:30 AM
It runs several cycles throughout the day
It leaves the Destination zone at 2:45 PM for the last time
→ TCpT working time = 7:30 AM to 2:45 PM
Notes
These settings apply only to the TCpT KPI and TCpT Report
You must set this before the shift is activated
If left blank, FleetWatcher may use the default logic set in MMS Controls
This setting does not control driver time, VSTs, or shift card visibility
