Create Vehicle
BDP learns your roster of trucks & trailers to leverage operational hauling capacities
Click Vehicles on the left menu, then click Create Vehicle. After naming the rig, enter:
Payload Constraints
These optional values calculate the maximum payload for this vehicle. If entered, this vehicle will be available when calculated order weight is less than the "Payload (Maximum)" value.
Gross Weight (GVWR) = Maximum loaded weight of vehicle, as determined by the manufacturer.
Curb Weight = Weight of vehicle empty, fully fueled and 1 driver (no passengers or cargo)
BDP will automatically calculate your Payload (Maximum), or total carrying capacity by weight
Volume Constraints
These optional values control how varying product order sizes are routed to the most appropriate vehicle(s) in your fleet
Payload (Minimum) = constrain Vehicle selection on the low end, by weight
Volume (Minimum) = constrain Vehicle selection on the low end, by volume
Volume (Maximum) = total carrying capacity (lightweight materials), in Cubic Yards
For sophisticated fleets with graduated capacities where it's often more expensive to run larger rigs, Payload and Volume Minimums constrain Vehicle selection on the low end (i.e. a floor, as opposed to ceiling). Vehicle isn't deployed unless weight or volume is at least X lbs. or Y cubic yards.
Available Days
Unselect any days the vehicle is not available to the operation
