Create a Truck Location

Intra-area truck movements, for example, solely within the mine business area or solely within the port business area, are performed using truck or truck type transactions.

Inter-area truck movements, for example, to move material from the mine business area to the port business area, are set up using a truck route, for which the arrival and departure information can be recorded.
