    The Mail screen will appear.
     
     
  2. Click  at the top right of the screen.
     
    The Compose Message screen will appear.
       
  3. Type your message in the Message box.
     
  4. Optionally, you can select High Priority to mark the message as such for the driver. ( means selected, and  deselected.)
     
  5. In the Recipients area, select the vehicle(s), group(s) of vehicles, or school(s) to send the message to.
    Note: Expand a group name to select a single vehicle in it.

    If you select a school on the By School tab, the message will be sent to all the vehicles assigned to that school.
