On the Carrier tab (own fleet), what action is performed by selecting a power unit and trailer from your asset pool; the Equipment type is set on Load Basics and filters available trailers?

Explanation:
Pairing the exact assets to a shipment is what happens here. On the Carrier tab for your own fleet, selecting a power unit and a trailer from your asset pool creates an Equipment Assignment, tying those specific tractor and trailer to the load so dispatch knows which assets will handle it. The Equipment type set on Load Basics filters the available trailers to only those that are compatible with that type, ensuring you don’t pick an incompatible combination. Other actions described—canceling a load, editing commodity and weight details, or viewing load board integrations—address different parts of the workflow and do not involve linking your fixed assets to the load.
