- Press <F1/S-F1> to scroll through existing drivers, vehicles or trailers or <Ctrl+F1> to search for a record.
- You may assign a "Sub Contractor" to the load. Leave the field blank if no sub contractor is required.
- Enter the account code for the sub contractor or press <Ctrl+F1> to search for a supplier code.
