Equipment type constraints

Tractor and/or trailer equipment type can be specified at the shipment, shipment leg, and load levels. Tractor type can also be specified at trip level. The ability to assign or modify the equipment types for a shipment leg, load or trip will depend on the equipment type, if any, that has already been specified for the entity, as well as its operational status.

For example: If a load has a shipment leg attached which has a committed trailer equipment type, then you cannot change to a different trailer equipment type at the load level. Whether equipment types have been specified or committed will affect routing results, as well as whether shipment legs can be added to a load, or loads to a trip.
