The Why panel — ask a tractor why it has a stop

Tap a stop or a tractor and see, in plain words, why it's there and what else was weighed.

Live operations Updated 2026-10-29

Ask any tractor why

The Why panel answers "why is this tractor on Elm instead of Oak?" without a radio call. It is read-only: opening it never changes anything.

How to open it

  • From a stop — open the stop on the live map and tap Why.
  • From a tractor — open the tractor's panel and tap Why this stop?.

What you see

  • The answer — a plain sentence naming the tractor, the stop, how far it is and how long the drive takes.
  • The nearest stops it weighed — shown as bars by drive time, each with the reason it won or was passed over.
  • Runners-up — the other stops that were close behind.
  • Recent hand-offs — any automatic reassignments of that stop or tractor, so you can see whether the stop changed hands.
  • The numbers — folded away underneath for anyone who wants them.

If you know better

The panel explains; it doesn't decide. To keep a stop for a particular operator, use the dispatcher reserve (and Next to move it to the front of that tractor's list).
