Use this screen to define the list of compatible Trailer Equipment Types for a specific Tractor Equipment Type. This list can be accessed from the context of either a Tractor Equipment Type or Trailer Equipment Type. Equipment Associations are not defined for Equipment Types where Equipment Category is "Tractor/Trailer" or "Undefined".
Each Equipment Association must refer to one Equipment Type where Equipment Category is "Tractor" and one Equipment Type where Equipment Category is "Trailer".
For Tractor Equipment Types with no associated Trailer Equipment Types defined, any Trailer Equipment Type are eligible for Unrestricted use.
If any Trailer Equipment types are defined for a specific Tractor Equipment Type, then all eligible Trailer Equipment Types must be configured for that Tractor Equipment Type. In this case, the Route, Rate and Schedule process for a load observes these rules when establishing a potential Trailer Equipment Type to go with a candidate Tractor Equipment Type.
Note: Tractor Equipment Types are only assigned to a load or trip when the selected carrier is domicile based. For non-domicile based carriers, only a Trailer Equipment Type is assigned. Therefore, Equipment Associations are applicable only when the Route, Rate and Schedule process evaluates Tariff Services for domicile based carriers.
