Equipment Specifications, under Master in the Supply Chain sidebar, hold the truck capacities for each piece of equipment. The maximums seed the Load Rules in your blueprints, and Compliance checks unplanned loads against them. There's one row per equipment and measure. A minimum, if you set one, is your own policy. Vendor ordering rules live separately, under Purchasing Rules.

Open Equipment under Master

In the Supply Chain sidebar, open Master › Equipment. The page explains what the specifications are used for, and + Add Specification sits at the top right.

Read the specs for each piece of equipment

Specs are grouped by equipment, for example 53' Dry Van (TD53), 48' Reefer (TR48), 53' Reefer (TR53) and 53' Reefer (Backhaul) (TRB53). Each group shows its code and its number of specs. Each row shows the measure's Operator, Min, Max, Source and an Action menu.

Weight — The maximum load weight, in lb.
Cube — The maximum load volume, in ft³.
Pallets — The maximum number of pallets.
Stops — The maximum number of stops on a load.

Check where a value came from

The Source column shows where each value came from: DEFAULT for a standard capacity, or MANUAL for one your team set.

Search and filter

Type in Search to find specs by name or notes, or pick one piece of equipment from the Equipment dropdown to show only its specs.

Add a specification

Select + Add Specification. Choose the measure in Name (for example Weight), enter a Min and/or Max, pick the Equipment it applies to, and add any Notes. The Operator is filled in for you. Select Save Specification to add it, or Cancel to close without saving.

Edit a specification

Open a row's ••• menu and choose Edit. Edit Specification opens with the current values, for example Weight for TR48 with a max of 42500. Change what you need, then select Save Specification.

Delete a specification

Open a row's ••• menu and choose Delete. Delete Specification? names exactly what will go, for example the Weight capacity for 53' Dry Van (TD53). Select Yes, Delete to remove it, or No to keep it. A deleted spec can't be restored.

Why it matters

These capacities are what blueprint Load Rules start from and what Compliance checks loads against. If they're wrong, loads get planned over capacity or flagged when they shouldn't be. Keeping one accurate row per equipment and measure keeps planning and Compliance consistent.
