How can I check if a vehicle is currently moving?

Use the `get_vehicle_location` tool. It returns the last known GPS coordinates, speed, and heading for the specified vehicle ID.

Can I update a driver's status through the agent?

Yes. Use the `update_driver_status` tool and provide the new duty status (e.g., 'On Duty', 'Driving', or 'Off Duty') to keep your logs accurate.

How do I access shipping documents for a load?

Use the `list_documents` tool. It retrieves all scanned paperwork associated with your shipments, allowing your agent to audit or summarize the contents.
