Understanding Vehicle Equipment Setup

Use the Vehicle Type Maintenance program (P4931) to specify the equipment that is associated with individual vehicles. When you build a load, you can view the vehicle master to determine whether a vehicle has the appropriate equipment for a specific delivery requirement. For example, the dispatcher might be building a load that is destined for a delivery site that is known to not have a delivery dock. In this case, the dispatcher must assign a vehicle equipped with a hydraulic liftgate so that the driver can easily deliver the product.
