# The trip detail panel

Open a trip and find your way around its tabs, toolbar icons and status buttons.

Updated October 4, 2026

Everything about one trip is in its detail panel: the route, the stops, the vehicle and drivers, documents and money. It opens as a panel on the right of the screen, so you can keep the plan board or planner open behind it.

## Open a trip

1. Find the trip on the plan board, the planner, the map, the **Trips** tab of a vehicle, or the trips of a shipment.
2. Click the trip. Or right-click it and choose **Open**.
3. To open it on its own page, right-click it and choose **Open in new tab**.
4. Click a tab to switch between the parts of the trip, described below.

The trip's own page shows the **Trips** list behind the panel. That list has a search field and, per row, **Edit** and **Remove**.

## Header and toolbar

The header shows the trip name and its trip number (#). The icons next to it are:

| Icon                       | What it does                                                                                                                    |

| **Print CMR**              | Downloads a CMR for every shipment on the trip. Shown when the trip carries shipments.                                          |

| Options menu (three dots)  | **Edit**, **Cancel** and, depending on the status, **Reverse Route**, **Complete all actions** and **Offer to nearby drivers**. |

## The Information tab

Alerts about the trip appear at the top. Below them you see:

* **Trip status** and **Plan status** (for example **OK** or **Too late**).
* **Distance**, **Duration** and, when calculated, CO₂ emissions.
* **Linked trip**, **Start time** and **End time**.
* **Trip expected turnover** and **Trip expected costs**, if you have the ledger permission.
* **Vehicle**, **Driver names** and **Means of transport registration plates**. Click a name to open it.
* **Utilization**: the peak use of floor space, volume, weight and load meters. Red means over 100%.

## Status buttons

At the bottom of the panel you find the button for the next step: **Confirm**, **Start trip**, **End trip** or **Complete trip**. Which one you see depends on the trip status. See [Trip statuses](/en-us/help/trip-status-lifecycle).

A trip that is shared with you through a link opens in a read-only version of this panel, without edit icons or status buttons.
