# Set up loading docks

Use loading docks in relation with delivery trips. When creating a delivery trip, you can specify a loading dock.

When **Use Container Status Loaded** is selected in the **Transport and Deliveries Setup**, specifying a loading dock on a delivery trip is mandatory. A warning appears when a delivery trip is already assigned to the same loading dock.

## Steps

1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon (Alt+Q), enter **Loading Docks**, and click the relevant link.
2. Click **New** to create a new loading dock.
3. Enter the values for the **Code** and **Description** fields.
4. Enter the code for the location associated with this loading dock.
