Loading a Vehicle with Damage

(https://vtvsolutions.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/17000055202-finding-your-loads)
To start the loading process you have the option of scanning a VIN after you have selected which load you are working.
Some companies may require you to scan VINs to load your vehicles.

app installed on your phone, you will be asked if you would like to install it. Click Yes. You will be taken to the Google Play
store to install the app. After installing, go back to the V-TAS app and click on the barcode icon again. This will open the
