Asset Types

Asset types are the types of equipment you use in your operation. Drive comes with six default asset types:

USA_VEHICLE

USA_TRAILER

CANADA_VEHICLE

CANADA_TRAILER

QUEBEC_VEHICLE

QUEBEC_TRAILER

You can not delete these asset types, but you can change them.

Note: If you need to create additional asset types, you must use one of these types, but pre-pend a descriptor to the beginning of the name. For instance, to create an additional trailer, you could clone USA_TRAILER and name it NEW_USA_TRAILER.
