Good day,
I want to model a typical work fragment for material carriage. In the project, we use cat 740 articulated trucks for carriages:

The CAT740 consumes oil, diesel and tires. It also has its own operator.
I modeled a multicrew wich uses the CAT740 and an operator for CAT740.
Now, what I don’t know how to add into the model is the Diesel, oil and tire usage.
From the budget I got the following data:
1 hour of articulated dump truck usage consumes:
22.71 liters of Diesel
0.244 liters of Oil for diesel engines
0.000167 lots of tires (A lot of tires includes the 6 tires)
And from the Caterpillar Performance Handbook I got the following data:
Top speed: 54.7 km/h
Max capacity (Should not be exceeded): 39.5 Ton; 18.5 m3 (struck); 24 m3 (Heaped 2:1)
The carriage time from each material center to each placing site will vary depending on road lenght, but how do I model the carriage inside Spider?
Or is this an excesive level of detail? Then, how can I model the material carriages?
