When using the Shipping module, Trucks must also be set up. These are the physical Trucks that will transport the goods.

Note: Generally, you should get the Truck detail from the shipping carrier you will be using, but if no detail is supplied, then a generic name can be added, for example, UPS Truck1 or FedEx Truck1. Trucks must, however, be created, as this is required when creating a new Waybill/BOL.
