Trip Sheet
The operational document for a single delivery trip, listing vehicle, driver, stops, SKUs loaded, and expected returns.
Full definition
A trip sheet (also called a route sheet or load sheet) is the driver's instruction document for a single delivery trip. It lists the vehicle number, driver name, route, loading details SKU-wise, the sequence of delivery stops, expected quantities per stop, and the returns to collect on the way back. In dairy operations, trip sheets are generated overnight after order cutoff and used for 4 AM loading.
Paper trip sheets are still common in Indian distribution but they are error-prone, impossible to audit, and cannot be updated in real time. Digital trip sheets inside the driver's mobile app replace them with live data: the driver taps each stop as completed, captures proof of delivery, and the back office sees trip progress on a dashboard.
Trip sheet data flows into sales analytics to compute trip cost, route profitability, and driver productivity.
Real-world example
A dairy trip sheet for vehicle MH-12-AB-1234 lists 28 stops in sequence across a 42 km route, loaded with 1,200 litres of milk and 300 curd cups.
