Truck profiles are used in BorderConnect to complete mandatory information fields for ACE Manifests and ACI eManifests.
Once entered, the information in truck profiles remains saved in BorderConnect. There is no need to re-enter the information each time a truck is used on an ACE Manifest. You can select the truck on the manifest and BorderConnect will load the saved information automatically.
Creating a new truck profile
To begin creating a new truck profile, select Create Truck under the Manage Data menu.
This opens the Add Truck Page, where the truck information can be entered.
The legend at the bottom of the page indicates which fields are required for which purposes. For example, if the truck profile will not be used for ACE eManifests, only the Truck Number, License Plate Number, and License Plate State/Province are required. If the profile may be used for ACE eManifests in the future, it is best to enter all information now so you do not need to return to the profile later.
After entering the information, click Save at the top left. BorderConnect will open the Truck Details Page, which displays an overview of the truck profile.
Entering license plates for truck profiles
Although you can add the license plate on the Add Truck Page, you can also add it later from the Truck Details Page by clicking Add License Plate to Truck.
You can add additional license plates by clicking Add License Plate to Truck again, but this is not recommended because it is not compatible with ACE and ACI eManifest requirements. Only one license plate is allowed for use on manifests.
Maintaining existing truck profiles
To manage existing truck profiles, open the Truck Search Page by selecting Search Trucks from the Manage Data menu.
By default, this page displays a list of all truck profiles for your account. This is useful when checking which trucks have already been entered. The search options can also be used to find a particular truck or group of trucks.
| Action | What to do |
|---|---|
| View or update a truck | Find the truck and click View to open the Truck Details Page. Use the search options if there are many profiles on the account. |
| Delete a truck | Find the truck and click Delete. |
