Re-Route is used for events in the PAST. They have one date-time field that can be edited with a past date/time and they go on the trip as a completed event.

Check Call is used for events in the PRESENT. These will auto-populate the current date/time and go on the trip as a completed event. Not to mention the satellite integration.

Deadhead is used for events in the FUTURE. These allow for an arrival and departure time when they get completed and have a field for SCHEDULED time. For example:

If a driver is headed to a tire center and is SCHEDULED to be there in 30 minutes, then a Deadhead is the most obvious choice. When he arrives and departs the times can be updated accordingly. (Note: This can also be accomplished with Automated Workflow) They must remember the difference between SCHEDULED and ACTUAL. It is impossible to report an ACTUAL date/time in the future. That - by definition- is SCHEDULED.
