You have to do it manually! The basics:
1. The length of a row of text is for example>  m - you can use property 
Len(yourstring)
2. The length of numbering> 3 (if you intend to have less than a 
thousand rows)
3. The length of the first gap: If you want your vehicles to start at 
position x then the length of gap is:
x- Len(numbering). You can insert gaps with 
firstgap=String$(x-Len(numbering)," ")
4. Now you have to plan the position of dates, let it be w. You will 
have the second gap between the vehicles and dates> Can be calculated 
with w-x-Len(vehicle) etc. ..
If you have done your calculus you'll have to create strings for each 
row like this:
string[i]=numbers[i] & firstgap[i] & vehicles[i] & secondgap[i] & 
dates[i] ...
