==Overview==
The Truck Load Module is used to provide greater accountability for assets loaded and unloaded from trucks.&nbsp;Situations can be caught where, for example, an asset is loaded onto a truck, but neither delivered during the run nor scanned off the truck at the end of the day.
===Why You Need It===
The time investment of a few additional scans, paired with a reconciliation process, can provide valuable information to help identify mistakes in the asset workflow.

==How It Works==
The basic mechanics of the Truck Load Module: 

*Assets are scanned onto a truck using one or more '''[[Load truck|Load truck]]''' actions (Mobile Device)
*The driver selects his truck in a '''[[Pre-Trip|Pre-Trip]]''' action (Optional/Mobile Device)
*[[Compare Truck Inventory to Orders|Compare Truck Inventory to Orders]] checks for any issues during the truck load operation (Optional/ AWS Page: '''Truck Inventory Report''')
*''Sync mobile device(s) if not wireless''
* Create '''[[Truck Manifest|Truck Manifest]]''' (Optional)
*The driver makes deliveries '''([[Deliver/Return Action|Deliver/Return]])''' (Mobile Device)
*The assets left on the truck at the end of the day are scanned off the truck using one or more '''[[Unload Truck|Unload Truck]]''' actions (Mobile Device)
*''Sync mobile device(s) if not wireless''
*After a truck run, the '''[[Truck Reconciliation|Truck Load Reconciliation OR Create Truck Load]]''' page, will point out problems where assets disappeared from the truck or were found on the truck (Web Site)
*The '''Find Truck Loads''' page allows you to finds previously grouped truck actions (Web site)

===Facts and Benefits===
* Scanning a truck takes about 5 minutes
* Find mistakes before trucks leave the facility
* Eliminates delivering Empty cylinders
* Helps to locate cylinders that were loaded but never seen again
* Generate automated and accurate truck manifests

==Customizing it for You==
*You must have Locations set up as Location Type = Truck
*Internal users must have Rugged And Simulator access or Smartphone access, and also ''must'' be marked as a Truck Driver. (If you don't have an option to mark users as Truck Drivers, then contact TrackAbout Support to enable the Truck Load/Unload feature.)
