Click the New job button from the top navigation bar or from the calendar view. This opens the job creation form where you will enter all the details for the booking.

Fill in the customer's name, phone number, and email address. These details are used for sending booking confirmations, reminders, and invoices. If the customer already exists in your system, VanMan will suggest matching contacts as you type so you can link the job to an existing record.

Enter the pickup address where your crew will collect the customer's belongings and the delivery address where items will be taken. Use the autocomplete suggestions to select verified addresses. You can add additional stops if the job involves multiple locations by clicking Add stop beneath the address fields.

Choose the job date from the date picker and set the start time. Optionally, enter an estimated duration in hours. The duration helps VanMan display the correct block size on the calendar and prevents overlapping bookings when you have back-to-back jobs scheduled for the same truck.

Select a truck from the Truck dropdown. The list shows each truck by name and colour along with its availability for the chosen date. If a truck already has a conflicting booking, it will be flagged so you can pick an available alternative. Once assigned, the job will appear on the calendar in that truck's colour.
