TrackAbout can create a Truck Manifest. A truck manifest is used for recording what is on a truck, and is commonly used for government compliance record keeping.In the United States this document is most commonly provided upon demand to Department of Transportation (DOT) inspectors and emr.

TrackAbout believes that the format of this document is compliant with the latest goverment regulations, but please have your own safety inspectors confirm this before using it. TrackAbout cannot be held liable for an invalid or incomplete manifest.


  • The first step is to move assets into a truck location. This is typically done with the Load_truck action on the handheld.
  • This manifest is based on the inventory of the truck either as of the currrent time or as of a time in the past.
  • Note that this manifest is NOT based on a single Load Truck record or even recent Truck Load records - it is based on the inventory of the truck. The inventory of a truck is comprised of all assets ever loaded onto that truck,that have not been moved from that truck through delivery to a customer, unloading to a branch, or some other action in TrackAbout that sets that assets location to other than the truck (a fill in a branch, for example).   
  • Truck manifests can be created from the Truck Load/Unload>Create Manifest page on the TrackAbout application website.
