Vehicles

This page is for the Operations App. For the Classic Operations App please see Vehicles (Classic Operations App).

You must have the Vehicles permission to view and the Edit Vehicles permission to edit enabled. See Users.

Vehicles can be used to track company and/or driver vehicles or to group drivers together. A vehicle can be associated with multiple drivers, however, a driver can only be associated with only one vehicle at a time. 

Quick Tip: If you do not need to keep track of the vehicle type of your drivers you can use Vehicles as a generic class or type for drivers.

To get to the Vehicles section, go to Maintenance > Vehicles.
