Deepstack Improving (Custom) Models?

I am using Blue Iris 5 + Deepstack and I think I have it to the point where I am perfectly happy with the system and it works great! One of the issues I am trying to solve is that at 5-6 AM every morning our business has a daily trash pickup. A garbage truck comes down the road and is detected as a truck. That is completely well and good, but I dont want to get a text message or alarm while I am asleep or anyone else is asleep to wake up and look at our security system for a trash truck. I would like to see if I can id it as as trash truck and ignore it during that time period.

The main issue is that the guide on Deepstack talks about training a model, but I don't know how to go about using an existing one (I am using Mike Lud's general.pt). I dont want to reinvent the wheel so to speak and I am not sure if I train a model of trash trucks will it just overlap the model for trucks or will it override?

Easiest way would be to capture images of the trash truck in question and train a model based on those images making your own custom model for that type of trash truck. Then you could use your model along side of Mike's
