Setup: Trucks
Trucks, Truck Weights
Select Setup | Equipment / Trucks | Trucks | Unit Numbers from the Main Menu. In the grid, you enter your log trucks, including its Code (truck number), Owner, Configuration, Description, as well as other pertinent information such as serial number or permit. This grid contains trucks both owned by your company and trucks owned by subcontractors.
If you track maximum weights for your log trucks, you enter them here. You can enter both a winter and a summer maximum weight for a truck. You can also vary your truck weights by route and by truck configuration. In making entries for 'Truck Code', 'Route Code' or 'Configuration' the entry of 'NONE' means irrelevant or ignore. Thus, if the weight for a truck does not vary by Configuration, you can enter 'NONE'. You do not need to enter a weight for each configuration. See 'How To: Manage Overloads' for a detailed discussion of managing overloads.
