Search Section
This section allows the user to search for trailers using a number of different search options. By default, it displays all trailers. By changing the search options, the user can search for specific trailers by the desired criteria.
A common use is to search for an individual trailer by trailer number or license plate. Users may also use the search options to locate inactive, duplicate, or incorrectly entered trailer profiles that should be updated.
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Search | Searches for trailers using the entered search options. Matching results are displayed in the Results Section below. |
| Reset | Resets the search options to the default setting. Clicking this button clears all search fields and displays all trailers in the Results Section below. |
| Clear | Clears all search options. Clicking this button sets all search options to blank so the user can enter new search options. |

Using Search Results
Search results help users confirm that the correct trailer profile already exists before creating a new one. This helps prevent duplicate trailer profiles and keeps ACE and ACI eManifest equipment data more consistent.
Before editing or deleting a trailer, users should confirm they have selected the correct trailer number and license plate. If a trailer is used often, editing the existing profile is usually better than deleting it and creating a new one.
Exporting Trailers
The Export Trailers (CSV) button exports the currently displayed search results. If the user has entered search criteria, only the matching results are exported.
The CSV export can be opened in spreadsheet software to review trailer numbers, license plates, and other trailer profile information. This is useful for equipment audits, cleanup projects, or comparing BorderConnect trailer records with an internal dispatch or maintenance system.
Best Practices
- Search for an existing trailer before creating a new trailer profile.
- Use trailer number or license plate searches when trying to find one specific trailer.
- Review possible duplicates before deleting any trailer profile.
- Keep trailer profiles current so ACE and ACI eManifests contain accurate equipment information.
- Export trailer records periodically if the company wants to audit or clean up equipment data.
