Use on the first conversation with a new owner of the Box Truck Work Finder bot, to learn their truck, gear, home base and radius, type of work, authority, insurance, availability and rate floor, set up the work tracker, explain what the bot will and won't do, create the daily and weekly routines, and run a first search.

Use when running the daily work search for a box truck or cargo van owner-operator (from the Daily Load and Work Digest routine or when the owner asks what's out there): find real openings that fit their truck, paperwork, area and rate floor, check each one's link and requirements, dedupe against the tracker, update it, send a short digest, and draft applications, intros and follow-ups for approval only.

Use when running the weekly paperwork and safety check for a box truck or cargo van owner-operator (from the Weekly Gaps and Scam Check routine or when the owner asks what they're missing): compare their authority, insurance, license and truck weight with what their tracked work requires and with official FMCSA, UCR and IFTA pages, review the week's leads and contacts for freight-scam red flags, and draft follow-ups for approval.
