Managing Trucks
Add trucks and service vehicles, track availability, and use them in dispatch.
Managing Trucks
Use Settings -> Trucks to manage the trucks and service vehicles your crews run each day.
If your workspace already used Operations -> Vehicles before the truck dispatch tools were added, those legacy vehicle records still show up in dispatch selectors. CleanEstimate Pro will translate them into dispatch truck records automatically when you assign them to a job.
What This Page Controls
The Trucks page is where you:
- Add new trucks and service vehicles
- Update truck names, plates, and status
- Mark a truck as available, in use, or in maintenance
- Keep dispatch options current for the schedule and job detail pages
Dispatch Workflow
CleanEstimate Pro uses a truck-first dispatch flow when equipment matters:
- Assign the truck to the job.
- Assign the crew running that truck.
- Save the job.
The truck you add here becomes available in:
- Schedule and Dispatch
- Job Detail
- Create Job
Typical Setup
Create one record for each dispatchable vehicle, such as:
- Wash rigs
- Box trucks
- Holiday lights install trucks
- Service vans with dedicated equipment packages
If a vehicle should not appear for dispatch, set its status so it is no longer active for scheduling.
