 +=== Driver Status ===
 +Driver Status is a tool for drivers to notify dispatchers of their current situation. ​ For example:
 +  * Active - actively working on service requests
 +  * Standby - on duty, but temporarily unavailable - e.g., on lunch break
 +  * On Call - logged in and available if other -- e.g., Active -- drivers are unable to respond
 +The exact meaning of the terms can be defined by consensus/​procedures within the company
