- Phone number
- Company contact information

</div>This ensures that all outbound communication includes consistent professional contact details.

- Delivery PO numbers
- Carrier information
- Equipment type
- PARS/PAPS information
- Trip documents

</div>Each section allows users to **toggle columns on or off** depending on their workflow preferences.

## Dispatch and Board Display Options

The profile also includes optional column settings for several system areas, including:

<div id="bkmrk-daily-work-log-carri" style="max-width: 900px; margin: 0 auto;">- **Daily Work Log**
