In the Vehicle Type field, you can choose a vehicle type from the checkbox.

If you leave this field blank, the system automatically populates it with one of the following:

In the Loc. Class and Location fields, you can choose the location class and location in which the created vehicle will be initially located.

A vehicle can not be created at a door since doors should be scheduled for vehicles.

We recommend that you create a standalone vehicle outside of the yard and then check it in.

You can enter the following vehicle and ownership details in the relevant fields:

·        License plate

·        Forwarding agent of vehicle

·        Vehicle owner

·        Transponder

Although these fields are optional, we recommend that you enter the following:

·         Vehicle’s license plate/container ID so that the vehicle can be easily tracked within the yard

·         Forwarding agent so that the system does the following:

·         Ensures consistent assignment of shipments to vehicles based on forwarding agent. For more information, see Assigning Vehicles to Documents.

·         Automatically populates the Vehicle Type field with the default vehicle type defined for the forwarding agent

·         Assigns to the vehicle the default waiting time defined for the vehicle type of the forwarding agent. When you attempt to assign a vehicle to a document via the yard monitor, the system displays the possible vehicles, sorted in ascending order, according to the vehicle waiting time.
