What is a dedicated resource on Dashdoc?
A dedicated resource (driver, vehicle, trailer) is a resource that you use regularly to carry out some of your activities, but that you do not own; it is not part of your fleet or your employees. These resources may be available "full-time", but the transport carried out by a dedicated trucker is not done on your behalf.
