Load board

Loading loads…

New load

One booking, one form: the load, its stops, its charges and any advance it needs. Set a container count above one and the form clones the load once per box.

Who this load is for

The customer locks once chosen — a load that changes hands mid-entry is how a rate ends up on the wrong account. There is an explicit escape on the field.

Customer

Approved accounts only. A pending customer cannot be booked (§8.2).

Carrier

Optional now — the Rate Board is where most carriers arrive.

Sales agent

Whose book this load belongs to, and whose commission it pays.

The container

One booking can carry several containers. Set the count and the form clones the load once per box, all of them sharing the booking reference.

Container number

Four letters then seven digits. Blank is fine before the line releases it.

Pick a port or a city and the ZIP comes with it. The distance is a great-circle estimate offered as a starting point — type over it and it stays typed.

Origin

Origin ZIP

Miles

Estimated, and always yours to overrule.

Destination

Stops

Seven stop types and seven reasons for being there. Order is the order the driver runs them; the appointment on each one is optional.

Charges

Thirteen charge types, five parties to bill. Every charge carries the party it is billed to, and the invoice builder reads them straight — so an accessorial that exists here is an accessorial that gets billed.

Customer rate is revenue, carrier rate is cost, and the difference is the margin every other screen reports.

All of them optional. A booking is real before the terminal has given it an appointment, and a form that disagrees is a form nobody finishes.
