Useage of trailers

[Christian Henriksson]

I just moved trailer 198845 and in the cargo field I entered Trailer Transfer 198845.

Is that ok or do you want only the trailer number?

Also, would it be possible to extract the trailerinformation as a csv from the database?

That is exactly they way I wanted it
PS, I can add all the missing cities to the drop down if you let me know which once are missing 
I will see if I can get something tomorrow.....

I like this initiative and would like to help getting long lost trailer back in rotation. I´m not nearly as active as you but i try to haul a load or two when time permits. I don´t want to step on anyones toes so if you´d like to keep this to yourself it´s no hard feelings.

ps the number of company owned trucks with zero miles on them is really high. I guess they are used by drivers who have registered but never hauled any loads.

[Christian Henriksson]

There are a few trailers listed in cities not supported by either the logs nor the games I have available. You will have to move them yourself in the database.

Here's a few for starters.

If Its Not Too Much Trouble Can I Help As Well???

[Christian Henriksson]

Sure, just locate an inactive trailer by going to the fleet list http://www.transpointtrucking.com/fleet.php and move it 

If possible move an actual load with said trailer so the company gets some profits from it. For some reason some cities tend to bulk up on trailers eventhough they also produce that kind of cargo 

If you don't find a cargo for that trailertype just grab any cargo to a city that produce the kind of cargo for the trailer your hauling. For example, if you want to move a beverage trailer move it to a city that produce beverage, cola or beans as they use a beverage trailer to move.

When you submit the log you have 0 cargo value and the cargo is Trailer Transfer XXXXXX where the X's is the 6 digit id number listed first in the trailer list.

@Joni: Perhaps it would be an idea to post this under dispatch or som general discussion with clearcut instructions how to do this?

Shall I Put 0 Miles Or Put The Actual Mileage?

The actual mileage, otherwise you will not be paid

I Dont Mind About Being Paid... Just That I'm Helping TTI  

By The Way Is It Possible To Make A Big List Of The Ones That Need To Be Moved That We Can All Edit To Show Which Ones We Have Done?

[Christian Henriksson]

Log your miles. This is a normal business expense and for TTI to carry. The support we are giving them is that we go out and fetch home the lost lambs no matter what load that might bring us... Like a $1300 waste haul for me 

[Roadrunner]

Shepherded a few trailers back into circulation.

897190 Tanker
745204 Livestock
979317 Storage

I´ll try to fetch a few more before i park my truck and go on vacation.

Joni, you've added St Louis twice in the database as both St Louis as well as Saint Louis

edit: if its not too much work joni, it would be great to have a sidebar on the main page thats a list of 10 trailers that have been sitting around the longest
