Adding and editing trucks
Add new trucks to your fleet and update their details in VanMan.
Every truck in your fleet needs to be set up in VanMan so it can be assigned to jobs and displayed on the calendar. You can add trucks during onboarding or at any time from settings.
Adding a new truck
Navigate to Settings > Trucks and click Add truck. A new truck form appears where you can enter the vehicle details.
Fill in the truck name — a recognisable label such as "Truck 1" or "Big Van". Optionally enter the registration number for compliance and reporting purposes.
Select a colour from the preset palette or click the colour picker to enter a custom hex code. This colour is used to identify the truck on the calendar and in job assignments.
Click Save to add the truck to your fleet. It immediately appears as an available option when assigning trucks to jobs and as a new lane on the calendar.
Editing an existing truck
Navigate to Settings > Trucks and click the truck you want to update. Change any of the fields — name, colour, registration, capacity, or team leader — and click Save. Changes take effect immediately across the calendar and all future jobs.
Editing a truck's name or colour does not affect jobs that have already been completed. Historical records retain the details as they were at the time of the job.
