TAMobile 5
- On the handheld's Truck tab, select Unload Truck. (If this button is not visible, please contact TrackAbout support)
- Select the Truck which is being unloaded.
- This drop down shows a list of trucks available to be unloaded. Note: Trucks are created and maintained in the TrackAbout website as Locations of Location Type "Truck".
- The user can scan a truck id barcode rather than select that truck from the list with the stylus. Some TrackAbout clients tape truck id barcodes onto the backs of their trucks to increase the speed and accuracy of truck selection. See the Mobile Units > Shortcut barcodes page on the site for more information about creating truck id barcodes.
- Scan the assets that are unloaded from the truck
