Vehicle ID: The Vehicle ID is mandatory. Transportation Planner will suffix the Vehicle ID when the Number of Vehicles is greater than 1, (for example, VehicleID_1, VehicleID_2, … VehicleID_n). When Number of Vehicles is 1, this could refer to a specific Vehicle ID; when Number of Vehicles is greater than 1, this will refer to a resource pool.
Equipment Type: The Equipment Type. It is mandatory and must be defined for at least one of the tariff service combinations for the carrier that owns the domicile.
Availability Start Date/Time: The date/time that equipment at the domicile becomes available for use. If not specified, this implicitly refers to the earliest possible date/time.
Availability End Date/Time: The date and time by which you must start using this vehicle. When undefined it represents any date/time. For example, a vehicle might be available any time between 6am and midnight on a given date but it must start between 6am and 10am on that date; in this case, the Availability End Date/Time would be 10am on that date.
Must End By Date/Time: The date and time by which the utilization of this vehicle must end.
Maximum Duration: This defines how long a vehicle can stay out once it starts. For example, a vehicle might be available any time between 6 am and midnight on a given date; if it has a maximum duration of 10 hours, it can be used for any ten consecutive hours between 6 am and midnight.
