```

**Parameters:**

- `vehicle`: [Object](../topics/Object.md)

**Returns:** [Number](../topics/Number.md) - repair cargo value, -1 if repair cargo is not supported, 0 if the vehicle is \![alive](../commands/alive.md) or [isNull](../commands/isNull.md)

## Community notes

**AgentRev** — 2014-12-22

**Prior to Arma 3 v1.94** If the vehicle is not [alive](../commands/alive.md), it always returns [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md), which you should check for using [isNil](../commands/isNil.md).\
If the vehicle is unable to carry that type of cargo, it returns [-1.#IND](../topics/Number.md#number-type), which you should check for using [finite](../commands/finite.md) or [<](../commands/a_less_b.md) 0.

The repair cargo does actually reduce when a repair truck repairs something, however, the default cargo amount of 1 is so high it is functionally infinite. It's inconceivable that you would drain the pool. You would need to [set the cargo](../commands/setVehicleCargo.md) to 10^-5 or 10^-6 (0.000001 or 0.0000001) before it is low enough to "realistically" run out given how physically large the storage pods on the trucks are
