The Trailers module enables users to manage, monitor, and analyze trailers independently or in association with vehicles. It provides centralized visibility into trailer identity, assignment, status, and operational usage, supporting better fleet utilization and compliance.

Trailers are treated as first-class assets within the platform and can be tracked, assigned, and reported on separately from powered units.
