A hooklift or cable truck can only haul boxes up to a certain size. PortaPro
lets you record what each truck handles so the job wizard can warn you
before a too-small truck is put on a roll-off job, and so route planning
sends roll-off stops to trucks that can carry them.
Tell PortaPro what a truck hauls
On the vehicle's form (Add Vehicle, or edit the vehicle from its
profile):
choices are Sanitation (porta-johns, hand-wash, trailers) and
Front-load containers & toter carts. A truck can handle more than one.
Enter the largest box this truck can safely haul, such as 20, 30 or 40.
Leave it blank for no stated limit.
What the job wizard does with it
On the wizard's driver and vehicle step, when the job includes a roll-off
container:
containers. The message reads that the vehicle "isn't tagged for roll-off
containers (Fleet → Equipment handled)".
job.
Both are warnings, not blocks. Each ends "You can still assign it." Field
reality varies, so the decision stays with the dispatcher.
A truck with no equipment ticked gets no warnings at all. Tag your trucks to
turn the checks on.
Route planning
Route planning uses the same equipment tags: roll-off stops go to trucks
tagged for roll-off containers. If no truck in the plan is tagged for a
kind of equipment, those stops are not held back for lack of one.
Troubleshooting

limits.

Fix the vehicle and the warning clears.
