Overview

As a Carrier, your trucks and trailers are the assets that get freight moved. eTrucky gives you a central place to register each vehicle, track its availability, upload required documents (insurance, registration, inspection), and assign them to orders. Keeping your fleet data current ensures dispatchers can assign loads quickly and drivers have the right vehicle information.

Adding a truck

Navigate to Fleet in your carrier dashboard. Click "Add Truck" and fill in the truck details: a Name, license plate, VIN, year, make, and model. You can also upload a photo and required compliance documents. Once saved, the truck is available to assign to orders.

Naming trucks and trailers

Give every truck and trailer a short Name, such as Lupita or 001: letters and digits only, up to 20 characters. No two trucks in your fleet can share a name (capital letters do not make a name different), and the same goes for trailers; a truck and a trailer may share one. A deactivated unit keeps its name. Everywhere eTrucky shows a truck or trailer it reads Name - Plate, for example Lupita - TX-1234, and charts show the Name. When you pick a truck or trailer on an order, you can type its name or its plate to find it. You can rename a unit at any time from Edit.

Adding a trailer

Click "Add Trailer" in the Fleet section. Enter the trailer number, type (dry van, reefer, flatbed, etc.), dimensions, and any notes. Upload trailer documents as needed. Trailers can be assigned to orders independently of trucks.

Uploading fleet documents

Each truck and trailer has a Documents tab. Upload insurance certificates, registration cards, DOT inspection reports, or any compliance documents required by your clients. Documents are stored securely and accessible from any order that uses the asset.

Managing availability

Mark trucks or trailers as inactive if they are out of service for maintenance or repair. Inactive assets do not appear in the dropdown when a dispatcher assigns vehicles to an order. Reactivate them when they return to service.
