  • Client name – Name of the client, for informational purposes only;
  • Pick up address – address of the cargo location, this field works as search bar, address suggestion will appear with every letter inputted;
  • Delivery address – address of where the cargo must be delivered, this field works as search bar, address suggestion will appear with every letter inputted;

Next the user must enter specific information regarding the cargo:

  • Cargo tittle – display name for the cargo, this tittle will be displayed when overviewing a order from the list;
  • Units – how many items (Pallets, boxes, barrels, etc.) must be picked up. The user must only enter a numerical value;
  • Weight per units – weight of one item, the measurement units depend on the account settings, described in the “Account settings menu”, this is used to calculate the weight of the entire cargo. These numbers are later used when assigning an order to a vehicle;
  • Dimensions (Width, Length, Height) – dimensions of one item, not the whole cargo. This is used to calculate the volume of the item and the whole cargo. These numbers are later used when assigning an order to a vehicle;

After all the specific information is inputted, the system will provide a short summary for this cargo.
