Trucks

Select the trucks that can operate with a particular Loader

This rule will not lock a fleet of trucks to a loader. If trucks are assigned to multiple Loaders in multiple rules, to control which loader has priority over a fleet go to the Calendar tab and de-rate the other loaders.

The order of truck assignments matter. If two rules assign different trucks to a Loader, the trucks in the first rule will be exhausted before the second rule is evaluated.
