Why Site Types Matter
A site type tells TruckIT how a location should function in the driver’s workflow. It determines when drivers are prompted for material details, ticket submission, and photos — so picking the right type keeps drivers on the correct path and your records accurate.
Site Types at a Glance
| Site Type | Purpose | Driver Prompt |
|---|---|---|
| Dump | Drop-off with weighing | Material details during load/unload |
| Mill | Pickup with weighing | Material details |
| Plant | Pickup with weighing | Material details |
| Job | Pickup or drop-off, no weighing | No material-detail prompt |
| Yard | Pickup or drop-off, no weighing | No material-detail prompt |
| Pit | Pickup | Ticket info submitted at pickup |
| Quarry | Pickup | Ticket info submitted at pickup |
Choosing the Right Site Type
When you’re not sure which type to use, base the decision on what you want the driver to do at that location:
- Drop-off with weighing → Dump
- Pickup with weighing → Mill or Plant
- Pickup that needs ticket submission → Pit or Quarry
- Pickup or drop-off without weighing → Job or Yard
Tip: Job and Yard work interchangeably for non-weighing locations — pick whichever matches your team’s naming conventions, and stay consistent across projects.
What Happens Next
Once a site’s type is set, TruckIT automatically prompts drivers for the right information — material details, ticket submission, or photos — as they move through pickup and drop-off. If you need to change a site’s type later, review any active jobs using that site first, since it can affect the driver’s workflow mid-job.
