# How to Accept and Assign Shipment Requests on TruckYou

> Browse incoming freight requests from shippers, review route and cargo details, accept a shipment, and assign a truck and driver to fulfil it.

When a shipper posts a shipment request on TruckYou, it becomes visible to verified truckers whose fleet is a match. You review the details, accept the shipment, and assign a truck and driver — all from the Trucker App.

## Accept a shipment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Trucker App">
    Log in to the TruckYou Trucker App using your registered mobile number and the OTP sent to your phone.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Browse available shipment requests">
    On the home screen, tap **Available Shipments** to see all open requests from shippers in your network.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review shipment details">
    Tap a shipment to view the full details: origin, destination, cargo type, weight, and expected pickup date. Confirm you have the right vehicle and driver available before proceeding.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept the shipment">
    Tap **Accept Shipment**. The request is removed from the available pool and assigned to your account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign a truck">
    Select one of your registered trucks that is available and suitable for the shipment's requirements.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Assign a driver">
    Choose a driver from your fleet to handle the pickup and delivery. The driver receives a notification in their app with the shipment details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor progress">
    Track the shipment through each stage — **Pickup**, **In Transit**, and **Delivered** — from the **Active Shipments** dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  Once you accept a shipment, the shipper is notified immediately. They can see your assigned truck details and track delivery progress in real time.
</Info>

<Tip>
  Review the origin, destination, and cargo weight carefully before accepting. Once accepted, the shipment is assigned to you and the shipper is notified — cancellations can affect your reliability rating on the platform.
</Tip>

## After acceptance

Once you accept a shipment and assign a truck and driver:

* **The driver is notified** with pickup location, cargo details, and delivery address.
* **Live tracking begins** — the shipper can follow the shipment from pickup to delivery.
* **Proof of Pickup (POP)** is submitted by the driver when goods are collected.
* **Proof of Delivery (POD)** is submitted by the driver when goods are delivered.
* **Payment is triggered** once the POD is confirmed and the shipment is marked complete.
