Adding a trailer allows you to manage your fleet, assign trailers to loads, and track operational data throughout the system.

## Standard Method 

1. Open the **Main Menu**.

2. Select **List**.

3. Click **Trailer**.

4. In the **Trailer** module, click **+ Add Trailer** in the top-right corner.

5. Complete the required information.

6. Click **Save**.

## Quick Add Shortcut 

You can also create a trailer from anywhere in the application using the **Add New (+)** shortcut in the left navigation menu.

1. Click the **+** icon in the left sidebar.

2. Under the **General** section, select **Trailer**.

3. Complete the trailer information.

4. Click **Save**.

This shortcut lets you quickly add new records without navigating to the Trailer module.

# Tips 

## VIN Lookup 

When you enter a valid **VIN**, the system automatically retrieves and populates:

* Year

* Make

* Model

You only need to select the **Trailer Type**, **Length**, and enter the **Unit No.** before saving.

## Set the Initial Mileage 

If you want to track the trailer's mileage across the platform (such as **Loads**, **Repairs**, and other mileage-based features), enter the current **Mileage** on the **Additional** tab.

> **Note:** If no mileage is entered when the trailer is created, the system starts tracking mileage from **0**. You can update the mileage at any time.

## Save Time with the Add New Shortcut 

The **Add New (+)** shortcut is available throughout the application, allowing you to quickly create new records without opening the corresponding module first. Use it whenever you need to add a new trailer while working in another part of the system.
