What "Trailer Type" field means in Load?

The "Trailer Type" field in a Load tells us what kind of trailer we need to use for transporting the goods. It's like choosing the right truck for the right job. Here are the basics:

1. Five Options: There are five types of trailers to choose from:

   • Dry Van: For regular goods
   • Flat Bed: For large or irregularly shaped items
   • Reefer: For items that need to stay cool
   • Step Deck: Like a flatbed but with different deck levels
   • Conestoga: A flatbed with a rolling cover for protection

2. Matching Cargo: Each type of trailer is suited for different kinds of cargo. For example, a Reefer trailer is good for things that need to stay cold.

3. Planning Right: Choosing the correct trailer type is important for planning how we'll move the load efficiently and safely.

So, the "Trailer Type" field helps everyone involved know exactly what kind of trailer to use for each job.
