Example: Trailer Swap 
The following example describes a simple trailer swap.
First, you create the following trailer units and specify the sequence of locations, that is, the route:
Document | Location sequence | Creation type |
|---|---|---|
Trailer unit 40 (TRL40) | A-B-C | Creation in the transportation cockpit |
Trailer unit 41 (TRL41) | C-B-A | Creation from the user interface for creating trailer units |
In this example, truck 01 drives from A to B with trailer X. There it meets truck 02, which has driven trailer Y from C to B. The trailers are switched in B. Truck 01 then drives trailer Y from B back to A. Truck 2 drives trailer X from B back to C.
The documents and assignments look like this:
Document | Location sequence | Assigned trailer units |
|---|---|---|
Freight order 20 (FO20) | C-B-C | TRL41 (C-B) TRL40 (B-C) |
Freight order 21 (FO21) | A-B-A | TRL40 (A-B) TRL41 (B-A) |
The following figure shows this type of trailer swap:
