Loader Locked

Trucks may be assigned to a loader by the Control Room Operator or by the Dispatch system based on a score. For loaders that have dispatch enabled, the dispatch score is displayed. The Control Room Operator may take this score into consideration when assigning a truck to a loader.

The dispatch system will make a decision to allocate a truck to a loader when:

1. A truck dumps. The truck will be empty at this stage and ready to service a loader. The truck will be allocated to the loader with the highest score.
2. A truck drives through a waypoint along a route. A waypoint, for example, can be configured to dispatch the truck to a particular destination and therefore to a particular loader.

To lock (or unlock) a truck to the loader it is allocated to:

• Right-click on a truck that has been allocated to a loader and select Loader Lock | Locked (or | Unlocked).

When a truck is locked the Pitram dispatch system will not attempt to reallocate the truck automatically.
