Start every route where the van actually parks.
Your vans don't all bed down at HQ. Some park at a second yard, some go home with drivers. Overnight storage locations tell Fleet HQ where each vehicle really starts and ends its day, so first trips and dead-mile returns in your non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) schedule match the road, not the office address.
Every feature in this part of Bambi
One field per van. Every first trip starts in the right place.
Open the vehicle
Go to Fleet in the top navigation, find the vehicle, and click the pencil icon. Overnight storage lives right on the vehicle's edit screen, next to the rest of its setup.
Enter the address
Start typing where the van parks overnight and pick the right match from the autocomplete suggestions. A second yard, a driver's driveway, or the shop holding the van that wouldn't start Tuesday all work.
Save and confirm
Click Save and the Fleet page updates to show the storage address. Clear the field and save to send a vehicle back to your organization's HQ address, the default for any van you never touch.
Plan from real starts
The first trip of the day assumes the van leaves from its storage address, and the end-of-day dead-mile return is calculated back to it. At the start of the day, trips that begin near a van are slightly favored for it.
What's inside Overnight Storage Locations.
A small setting with a real routing payoff for fleets that park in more than one place.
Every vehicle has its own independent overnight storage field, so two vans in the same fleet can start from two different places.

One-click reset to HQ
Clear a vehicle's storage field and save, and it falls back to your HQ address. Untouched vans use HQ automatically.
Accurate morning starts
Morning route planning starts each van's first trip from where it actually spent the night, not from an office it never visited.
Honest dead miles
Bambi calculates the empty drive back to storage after the last trip, so dead-mile numbers reflect your real yards.
Smarter first assignments
At the start of the day, auto-dispatch slightly favors trips that begin near a vehicle's overnight storage address.
Take-home friendly
Drivers who take vans home start from their own driveway, not a phantom drive to a lot they haven't seen since Friday.
"Bambi gives us real-time visibility into every ride and keeps dispatch and drivers in sync. We stay on top of changes, adjust fast, and avoid delays. In a business where timing matters, that clarity makes a real difference."
