How to Drop & Hook Trailers in Truckpedia

Truckpedia allows drivers to Drop or Hook trailers directly from the Driver App when performing trailer swaps during pickup or delivery.

These actions automatically update:

  • The Load Activities Log

  • The Trailer Logs under Assets

This ensures the system records the exact moment a trailer was dropped or hooked and keeps trailer tracking accurate.

    .
