Truck Details Page (ACE and ACI eManifest)
|
🔖 This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
The Truck Details Page is where users can review, manage, and update individual Truck Profiles in BorderConnect eManifest software. It centralizes all truck information used for ACE and ACI eManifests and provides quick tools for editing records, managing license plates, and adding internal notes.
You can access the Truck Details Page in several ways:
- From the Truck Search Page by selecting View beside a truck
- After saving a new or edited truck from the Add Truck Page
- From an ACE eManifest by clicking View Truck
- From the ACI eManifest Details Page
Truck Details Section
This section appears at the top of the page and displays the core truck information used on manifests.
Typical fields include:
| Information Displayed | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Truck Number | Identifies the unit within your fleet |
| VIN | Uniquely identifies the vehicle for compliance |
| Vehicle Type | Defines the conveyance type used on eManifests |
| Terminal | Shows the assigned office or location |
Action Buttons

License Plate Section
This section manages the license plate assigned to the truck. The plate information is required when using the truck on ACE or ACI eManifests.
Only one license plate should be associated with each Truck Profile.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Add License Plate to Truck | Adds a new plate number and state or province |
| Edit | Updates existing plate information |
| Delete | Removes the plate from the Truck Profile |
Why License Plates Matter
License plate data is transmitted to customs authorities as part of conveyance reporting. Incorrect or missing plates may cause manifest validation errors or border delays.
Comment Section
The Comment Section allows users to record internal notes related to the truck. These comments are not transmitted to customs and are for company reference only.
Common uses include:
- Maintenance notes
- Special operating instructions
- Assignment reminders
| Action | Function |
|---|---|
| Add Comment | Creates a new note on the Truck Profile |
| Edit | Updates an existing comment |
| Delete | Removes a comment permanently |
Best Practices
- Keep VIN and license plate information accurate to prevent filing errors
- Use comments to track operational details not stored elsewhere
- Review Truck Profiles regularly when fleet changes occur
Summary
The Truck Details Page serves as the control center for each vehicle in your fleet within BorderConnect. It ensures truck information remains accurate for customs filings while offering simple tools to manage plates and internal notes.
