Working with Equipment Types

USA_VEHICLE

USA_TRAILER

CANADA_VEHICLE

CANADA_TRAILER

QUEBEC_VEHICLE

QUEBEC_TRAILER

Choose the proper type for the area your equipment will be operating in. For instance, if you equipment operates in the United States, then create the USA_VEHICLE and USA_TRAILER types. If you need additional types, 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.
