# How do I start and end my shift?

## Each time you are assigned to a shift you will need to make sure to start and end your shift so that your time is tracked accurately.

**HaulHub Carrier App:**<https://haulhub.hubs.vidyard.com/watch/4f7mxAfw3F6BBvTLxnXkHP?>

**Start Shift:**

- After logging in, from the home page of the app, **Click on** the shift for today. 
    - *This shift will normally be blue when all others are gray.*
- On the next screen you will see **Shift Details** and **Start Shift**.  
    - Select **Shift Details** to view the details of the job. 
          - Full address for Start and End Locations
          - Customer, Work Type, and Material Type
          - Dispatch Instructions and a job-site contact.
    - Select **Start Shift** to start your shift.  
          - *If the start shift button is grayed out see the end of this article for common troubleshooting tips.*
- After you've hit **Start Shift** a short safety clip will play. You will then receive a confirmation message that your shift has been started and the screen will show you where you are on the map.

**Add Tickets:**

- Tap **Add Ticket** and **Enter** the ticket number for every load you make. 
    - Be sure you are safely stopped and not in a moving vehicle before you add your tickets.
- Tap **Confirm** at the top right corner to save the changes.

**End Shift:**

- At the end of your day tap **End Shift.**  
    - You will receive a confirmation prompt asking if you are sure. Tap **End Shift** again.

- Confirm and review the tickets you added. 
    - If you missed one and need to add another ticket then Tap **Add ticket** below.
- Then tap **End Shift** at the top right corner.

**Common Troubleshooting:**

- If your start shift button is grayed out: 
    - Ensure you are within 4 hours of your shift start time. You will not be able to start your shift more than 4 hours before.
    - Check your phone permission settings to ensure that location tracking access is set to 'always' for HaulHub.  
          - Go to your phone settings app, select the HaulHub app, select permissions.
- No start shift button:  
    - Double check you have today's shift selected.
    - Make sure you are on the HaulHub Carrier app and not on the browser on your phone. You can only start your shift from the app.
