Vehicle Weights: UM
Specify the unit of measure (from HQ Units of Measure) in which this vehicle’s weights are expressed.

If the location’s weight unit of measure differs from this vehicle’s unit of measure, and the vehicle’s UM is TONS, LBS, or kg, the posted weight units will be converted accordingly. For example, if the vehicle’s weight is expressed in tons, and the location’s weight option is LBS, then weight units entered on tickets will be converted to pounds.However, if the vehicle’s weight is other than TONS, LBS, or kg, no default weight calculation will occur.
