== Getting Started with BorderConnect ==
<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">Getting Started: Core Profiles</h2>
<p>Before creating your first eManifest, you must set up the core profiles used throughout the system. This data is reused across shipments to reduce entry time.</p>


Before creating your first eManifest, you should set up core profiles used throughout the system. 
<div class="bc-card">
Profile information is reused across manifests and shipments to reduce data entry and ensure accuracy.
<div class="bc-2col">


=== Required Profiles ===
<div>
<h3>Required Profiles</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Driver Profiles:</strong> Identification and FAST card data.
* <strong>Truck Profiles:</strong> Tractor details, VINs, and plates.
* <strong>Trailer Profiles:</strong> Trailer unit numbers and types.
* <strong>Passenger Profiles:</strong> Details for co-drivers or passengers.
</div>
