Transient Truck Account
This feature is useful for tracking cash customers within a given facility. Click the down arrow next to
the
Transient Truck Account field to select an account (e.g. Cash Customer ). To start a transient truck
transaction, enter a non-stored Truck Id (e.g. license plate number) in the Truck Id field and press Enter .
This “truck number” is stored with the transaction, but is not stored in the Cash Customer account Truck
( Tare1 ) table.
Transient trucks can only be used in the Tare1 field. Tare2 and Tare3 entries must still be attached to
an account.
Example: When a transaction is started by entering a Truck Id that is not in the system, the account
specified as the Transient Truck Account (Cash Customer in our example) appears in the
hauler and bill to fields. The license plate number appears in the Truck field along with
the word Transient .

Ignore Truck History
Truck history allows TransAct to automatically pre-fill the previous order/job, material, and bill-to
codes. When not checked, the
Last Order/Job , Category item, and Bill-To information found in the
Today’s Statistics section of the Truck tare table will be used during a transaction when a transaction
is started with a Truck Id .
