Equipment Status

Tailwind has a helpful section under the Operations menu called “Equipment Status.” In addition, you can see a quick view of your “Assets.’
We consider Assets to be – Tractors, Trailers and Drivers.

This area will display relevant information for each of your Assets. For example, this screen will display any dispatch that the tractor, trailer or driver is presently on and as well, and it will also show “Planned” dispatches if the tractor has been “Assigned” a load. Still, that load is not yet moving, so it can be helpful when “Planning” dispatches for a truck or driver. 

When you navigate to the “Equipment Status” screen located on the left vertical menu, clicking on it will show the Assets, and you can filter this list by Tractors, Trailers and Drivers. Then, in the far right-hand top corner, you can filter the view by those options.  Across the bottom, you will see the ability to filter by the timeline you would like to see, whether one day or one week ago or by looking into the future.

Also, note that across the top, you will have the ability to filter this screen by the various statuses, just like our order and dispatch screen, giving you the ability to see the data that you want to see or the view that works best for your workflow processes.
