If you want to ship to a specific carrier, you can use load boards to tender that shipment to a carrier of your choice.
Select the shipment you want to tend from the Shipment's list.
Select Send to Carrier(s) > Tender to Carriers on the Shipment Details page.
The Tender to Carrier options appears. Enter the:
Flat rate
An “Expiration” date and time for the carrier to respond.
The carrier you want to carry the load. You can select multiple carriers. When doing so, the carrier that accepts the shipment first will take the shipment.
Any specific notes or instructions to the carrier.
With all the information entered, select Save.
There will now be a new #LID on the shipment details page. This is the reference number your carrier will see before accepting the shipment to view the actual shipment ID. The status will be in “Pending Approval” until accepted or rejected. There is also a messaging section where you can communicate with the carrier.
When the carrier either accepts or rejects the tender, you will receive an email, and the carrier will be assigned to the shipment (if accepted).
