# Status column (Trips table)

> What the trip Status column in Dispatch Planner v2 shows, which trip statuses appear in the Trips table, and why a trip can show a status you did not expect.

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

The **Status** column shows where each trip stands in dispatch: **Open**, **Covered**, **Dispatched**, or **In Transit**. Use it to separate the trips that still need a driver from the trips that are already assigned or moving.

## At a glance

| | |
| - | - |
| **Table** | Trips |
| **Shown by default** | Yes. The column is pinned to the left of the table. |
| **Sort** | Yes |
| **Filter** | Pick one or more statuses from a list: **Open**, **Covered**, **Dispatched**, **In Transit** |
| **Who sees it** | Everyone who can open Dispatch Planner v2 |
| **Edit in the grid** | No. The status changes when you assign or dispatch the trip, and as the trip moves. |

## What does each status mean?

| Status | Badge | Meaning |
| - | - | - |
| **Open** | Red | No driver or assets are assigned yet. The trip is ready to assign. |
| **Covered** | Yellow | A driver and assets are assigned, but the trip has not been dispatched. |
| **Dispatched** | Blue | The trip has been dispatched to the driver. |
| **In Transit** | Dark blue | The trip is under way and has not been delivered yet. |

**Assign** moves an Open trip to Covered. **Assign and dispatch** moves it straight to Dispatched.

Sorting by status puts Open trips first, then Covered, Dispatched, and In Transit.

## Which trips appear in the Trips table?

The Trips table lists trips that are not finished yet, in any of the four statuses above. When a trip is delivered or cancelled, it leaves the table. The table also only lists trips on loads tendered as a carrier subsidiary. See [Dispatch Planner](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner) for the full list of conditions.

## How does the status change what the planner shows?

* If you select a trip showing **Open** or **Covered**, the **Drivers** list the planner opens for it is narrowed to drivers who could take it, starting with the trip's subsidiary and equipment type.
* If you select a trip showing **Dispatched** or **In Transit**, the **Drivers** list shows the drivers already on the trip.
* If you select a driver, the **Trips** list the planner opens for that driver is filtered to **Open** and **Covered** trips.

## Why does a trip show a status I did not expect?

**Quoted and Reserved trips are grouped with similar statuses.** A trip in Quoted status shows as **Open**, and a trip in Reserved status shows as **Covered**. Open the load to see the trip's exact status.

**Filtering on a status leaves out Quoted and Reserved trips.** Picking **Open** in the filter shows only trips whose status is exactly Open, so a Quoted trip that displays as Open drops out. Picking **Covered** leaves out Reserved trips the same way. Clear the **Status** filter to see them again.

**The filter list has only four statuses.** Delivered, cancelled, and other finished trips are never in the table, so they are not offered in the filter.
