Adding Trucks

This tutorial shows you how to advertise your trucks on the Available Trucks page. Listed trucks help you find loads and return loads, and they trigger alerts when a matching cargo load is posted. It is for transporters and fleet owners.

#How do I list a truck as a member?

In the member area, trucks are added through your fleet. One entry does two jobs: it adds the truck to your fleet and, if you choose, publishes it on the website.

1. Log in and open My Fleet, then Vehicles, then Vehicle List.
2. Click Add Vehicle.
3. Under Vehicle Details, enter the Year, Make and Model, and choose the Vehicle Type and trailer type.
4. Add a Vehicle Nickname (to tell your trucks apart), the License Plate Number and the License Renewal Date.
5. Set the status to Status: Active.
6. Tick Publish on website.
7. Under Vehicle Photos, drag and drop your photos, or click to select them. You can add several, up to 10 MB in total.
8. Under Distribution Area, choose the country and region where the truck works.
9. Fill in the other tabs if you want to (specification, maintenance schedule and settings). These are for your own fleet records.
10. Click Submit.

#How do I list a truck if I am not a member yet?

1. Go to List my Truck, or click Trucks then List my Truck.
2. Step 1: Personal Details: enter your name, e-mail address, country, city and mobile number.
3. Step 2: Company Details: enter your company name, business type, service offered, physical address and a short description. Upload your company logo and one official company document (bank confirmation letter, business registration document or business tax certificate).
4. Step 3: Truck Details: choose the Trailer Type, enter the Year, Make, Model and Max Payload, add a short description and a Photo of Truck.
5. Step 4: Distribution Area: choose the country and region where the truck works.
6. Step 5: Activation: enter the security code and click Submit.
7. Confirm your e-mail address with the link we send you. Then set your password with Forgot Password on the Member Login page.

This creates a Basic Member account with a 14-day trial, a directory entry for your company and your first truck listing.

#What do people see on my listing?

Your truck appears on the Available Trucks page (Trucks then View all Trucks), and on its map. A listing shows:

• the photos,
• Distribution Area, Capacity (in tonnes), Type and Trailer,
• the Description,
• the number of views and comments.

Visitors can click Contact to send you a message, leave a comment, or Report the listing. Messages arrive in My Inbox and by e-mail.

#Will I hear about loads for my trucks?

Yes. When you publish a truck, the site sends you an inbox message with recent cargo loads that match its trailer type and country. After that, you get an inbox message and an e-mail whenever a new load is posted that matches your published truck's country or trailer type. See Adding cargo loads.

#How do I update or hide a listing?

1. Open My Fleet, then Vehicles, then Vehicle List.
2. Click the truck to open Manage Vehicle.
3. Change the details, or untick Publish on website to take the truck off the website.
4. Click Save.

#How do I delete a truck?

1. Open My Fleet, then Vehicles, then Vehicle List.
2. Click the delete icon next to the truck.
3. Confirm with Delete.

#How many trucks can I list?
