# Truck ID column (Drivers/Assets table)

> What the Truck ID column in Dispatch Planner v2 shows, where the truck comes from, and why it can differ from the truck on a driver's trip.

Part of the [Dispatch Planner column reference](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns).

The **Truck ID** column shows the number of the truck paired with the driver in their assignment preference. Use it to see which truck a driver or team runs, and to narrow the table to specific trucks.

## At a glance

## Where does the truck come from?

The truck comes from the driver's assignment preference in **Assets > Assignment Preferences**, the same pairing that puts the driver in the table. On a team, Driver 1 and Driver 2 share that one truck.

The column does not read the trucks on the driver's trips. If you assign a different truck to a trip, the **Truck ID** column keeps showing the preference truck until you edit the assignment preference.

The filter list offers every truck that is on an assignment preference.

## Why does a driver show a truck I did not expect?

**The preference has no truck.** If the driver's assignment preference has no truck, the column shows a dash. Edit the preference and pick a truck in the **Truck** field.

**The driver has more than one preference.** The table shows one row per driver, even when the driver has both an Active and a Planned assignment preference. The truck can come from either one, so a Planned preference with a different truck can show. Archive or delete the preferences you no longer need.

**Truck numbers sort as text.** Sorting is alphabetical, so truck 100 sorts before truck 20. Drivers with no truck sort last.

## Why doesn't the column mark external trucks?

The **Truck ID** column shows the truck number only. To check whether a truck belongs to your fleet, select the driver's row and look at the **Truck** section of the asset sidebar. On accounts where external trucks are turned on, a truck that is not in your fleet shows an **External** badge next to its number there. The sidebar also links the truck number to the truck's profile.

In the Trips table, the [Truck column](/en/help/loads-trips/dispatch-planner-columns/trips/truck) marks the same trucks with a short **Ext** badge.
