Task Executer unload task secuence

My taskexecuter "camion despachos" once loaded a batch of 6 pallets, then transport them downstream to production. Routing is correct, all items are being placed in correct Q. The issue is the way task executer unloads the batch (6 pallets) it has loaded at docking area, after every pallet (not batch) unloaded by the truck in production, it returns to docking area with the rest of pallets (givin that different pallets are to be unloaded in diferent Q's), then transports the rest of pallets back to production.

This back and forth movement adds up in the total distance travelled by track, a variable that I am tracking closely. So my dashboard is not obtaining the correct distance info

The problem is this trigger:

It makes the Task Executor travel home because there are resources available.

I am assuming you want the Task Executor to go back to a home location when it is done unloading everything. To do this add the Travel to a Home Location logic to the OnUnload trigger with the condition that the Task Executor is empty.

Attached is a model with the changes I suggested.
