Add Drivers

POST /drivers

Adds drivers to the fleet account. There is a limit of adding up to 50 drivers per API call.

Each driver has a Driver ID (identifier) and a Driver Name. Driver ID and Drive Name are required to be unique within the fleet account.

Note:

  • If a Driver ID and Driver Name combination already exists in the fleet account and
    • If the same Driver ID and Driver Name is sent in the request, then the request will be ignored with an appropriate message indicating that duplicate records were not added.
    • If the Driver ID is same but Driver Name is different, then in the response, an appropriate message is returned indicating that duplicate records were not added.

Names and Ids can only include the following characters: A-Za-z0-9-_=+*#! .,()`~?.
