Preferences - Equipment
The Equipment screen allows you to modify properties of the
existing truck and trailer records. To add a new truck or trailer use
the "New" button on the [Trip Sheet - Load Information]
screen. 
Most time these properties are used to edit the Last PM service
odometer reading, Last Grease odometer reading and last recorded
odometer. The same is true for the APU hours and Reefer hours on the
trailer.
When you create a service record for the unit the last PM, Last
Grease, Last APU service and Last reefer service values are
incremented if the value (hours, miles or kilometers) is grater then
the last known value. If by some mistake you enter too high of a
number, (1,500,000 instead of 150,000) you can change those values
here and then reload the current trip to reset the counters.
The Alert display properties allow you to set your desired service
interval or disable the alert all together.
The license plate information is printed only on the Load
Assignment print out.
Alerts will work properly only if the driver records the odometer
readings on the [Trip Sheet - Odometer] screen and maintenance on the
[Maintenance] screen.
The software allows you to setup your truck record properties to
accept Miles (default) or Kilometers. If your truck record was
initially set to use Kilometers you can not change it. Enter
everything in KM as it shows on your odometer. The same is true if
your truck record was initially set to use miles - record everything
in miles as shown on your odometer.
