# Available in column (Drivers/Assets table)

> What the Available in column in Dispatch Planner v2 shows, where the location comes from, and why it can differ from where the driver is right now.

Part of the [Dispatch Planner column reference](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns).

The **Available in** column shows the city and state where a driver will be when they become free, at the time shown in **Available at**. Use it to find drivers who will be free near a trip's pickup.

## At a glance

| | |
| - | - |
| **Table** | Drivers/Assets |
| **Shown by default** | Yes |
| **Sort** | Yes, by state and then by city |
| **Filter** | Pick a place and a radius (25, 50, 100, 250, or 500 miles), or type text to match the city or state |
| **Who sees it** | Everyone who can open Dispatch Planner v2 |
| **Edit in the grid** | No. The location updates on its own when the driver's trips or driver events change. |

## Where does the location come from?

**Available in** is where the commitment just before the driver's free time ends:

* If that commitment is a trip, it is the trip's last stop.
* If that commitment is a driver event, such as Hometime or Vacation, it is the event's address.

The planner picks the same free stretch for **Available in** as for **Available at**, **Available for**, **Next planned at**, **Next planned in**, and **Next planned event**, so all six describe the same moment. To learn how that stretch is chosen, see the [Available at column](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns/drivers/available-at).

## Why does a driver show a location I did not expect?

**It is not the driver's current position.** A driver who is already free shows where their last trip or event ended, not where their truck is now. For the most recent reported position, check the **Last Ping** column.

**A short gap moves it.** If the time before the driver's next commitment is shorter than the **"Available for" minimum** in **Settings > Planning configuration**, the planner skips that gap. **Available in** then shows where the driver will be after the next commitment instead.

**The end location is unknown.** In the rare case that the planner does not know where a commitment ends, it shows where the driver's next commitment begins.

**Only Driver 1 counts.** For a two-driver team, the location follows Driver 1's schedule.

## Why is the column blank?

**The driver has no availability.** When **Available at** shows a dash, **Available in** does too. That happens when the driver has no trips and no driver events on record, or when the driver belongs to an outside carrier.

**Filtering by place leaves out blank rows.** A place-and-radius filter only matches drivers whose **Available in** has a location on the map.
