Creating a New Job

Jobs provide another level of organization and pricing control within

OnTrak

. If you have multiple haulers all

working on the same job, such as a major highway construction; or if you have one hauler working on multiple
jobs, creating each job in

OnTrak

allows you to track where your products are going and view overall totals. You

can also specify special pricing and/or charges for the job.
