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

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.
