queue can be viewed at any time, to show all

TRUCKS are assigned to loads automatically, according to the assigned
sequence. |

TRUCKS
can be
dragged-and-dropped to change the sequence at any time. They can also be
made AVAILABLE or UNAVAILABLE by double clicking. As they are loaded, they
automatically become UNAVAILABLE.
FORMULAS (mix designs) can be entered or
edited, then saved on the computer hard disk. Formula storage is
unlimited. At any time, formulas can be downloaded to the BatchTron
controller, giving the ability to continue batching if the order entry
computer is down, or formulas can be uploaded for backup on the BatchLink
computer, assuring safe storage of your mix design database.

modified in minutes; no programming necessary. Simply scan the form; when
it appears on the screen, drag and drop the desired report fields into
their proper positions on the form. You can make as many report formats as
you wish.
