Set your cities then click Save when you are done. After you refresh the page, the map in this popup will show your choices in red and blue.

There are 2 ways to choose your Service Area:

1. using the list on the left you can check and uncheck entire regions or individual municipalities. Each option with a little grey arrow next to it can open to show more locations within it.
2. Alternatively, above the map you can choose a to select every municipality within some distance of a city you choose. For example, every city within 30km of Vancouver.

‍

We suggest you start by selecting everything within 10km or so of where you park your trucks. Then increase this distance until you are happy with the result. Use the tick boxes to remove locations one by one or to reset completely.

In your Company Profile, click the blue Charges button under the Service Area option. A new page will open where you choose how your moves are billed. Each row is a different charge. Checking the tickbox for a charge will show it to customers on your public profile and allow you to use the charge on moves your book. For each charge you can add an amount and description. The default choice for each of these is shown on your public profile.

‍

Changes to your Charges are saved automatically. Go back to your Company Profile when you are done.

‍

Note about selecting Active and Default: When setting Amounts and Descriptions you will open popups where each option can be set to Active and/or Default. For these details to show in your public profile you need to have the option set to Active and also set to Default.

For example if you select the checkbox for Fuel, set '0.50' as the default for Amount and '$/km' as the default for description, the charge will show up on your profile as below.

These are selling features that will show up on your public profile. Click Savings under Charges. In the popup that opens you can add Savings to your profile by click the X in the Active column to turn it into a checkbox. You can use any of the options that are already in there, or add you own custom items at the bottom.

‍

For Services and Savings you will see similar Active and Default settings to the Charges. In this case the Default value has no effect. If you have a green check mark under Active, that Saving or Service will show on your profile.

Finally, one of the most important parts of your public profile is your Photo Gallery. At the bottom of your Company Profile click the grey Upload Photos button and choose images from your computer. You want as many high quality photos of your trucks, equipment, and crew members as possible. The Photo Gallery is your best chance to stand out from other companies and get more bookings so it is worth spending some time to get right.
