Add a rest stop

If these requirements are not ALL met, you cannot use all parts of this feature. This topic may not apply to you at all.

Requirements for your company:

  • It must own the licenses for TruETA and TMWGoTripPlanning. If your company does not have both licenses, you will not see the image7 Trip Planning icon or the Trip Planning screens.

  • It must be licensed for and running SystemsLink 2018.3 or later.

  • It must be licensed for Trimble Maps to see your stops on the Stop Detail screen.

When TruETA plans a trip, it suggests Rest Stops between stops. A rest stop is where you can park, take a break, or rest (including the 34-hour reset).

To add a rest stop to a planned trip:

  1. Load the Trip Planner screen.

  2. Decide where to add a rest stop. Tap Add Rest Stop.
    In this example, a rest stop is added between the Rest Stop in Jacksonville, FL and the Love’s #206 rest stop in Loxley, AL.
