Before you start

Make sure the following are ready before creating an order:

  • The customer already exists in the system (or you're ready to add one)

  • You have at least two stop locations β€” a pickup and a delivery

  • You know the revenue type (line haul rate, fuel surcharge, or both)

How to create an order

Click Orders in the left navigation menu, then click the blue Add Order button. A single form opens with sections listed in the left sidebar. Work through each section, then click Save in the bottom right when done.

Rate confirmation

Attach a rate confirmation document if you have one. Click Select file to upload or drag and drop the file directly onto the upload area.

Customer details

  • Select the customer from the dropdown. Start typing a few letters if they don't appear in the list.

  • πŸ’‘ Need to add a new customer? See How to create a new customer.

  1. Confirm or select the billing details.

  2. Optionally assign a CSR (Customer Service Representative) responsible for this order.

Route

  1. Click Assign assets to attach a driver and truck to the order.

    • Click + Add stop to build the route. You need at least one pickup and one delivery stop β€” the form won't let you save without them.

    • See How to add a stop for detailed instructions.

Delivery details

Fill in the shipment specifics:

  • Purchase order number and Bill of lading number

  • Miles β€” calculated automatically from your stops; adjust manually if needed

  • Commodity β€” defaults to Freight all kinds; change if needed

  • Trailer type (Van, Reefer, Flatbed) and trailer length (20', 45', 48', 53')

  • Min / Max cargo temperature β€” required for temperature-controlled loads (Reefer)

  • Specialty (optional): Hazmat, Tanker Endorsed, Team, TWIC, or Not Applicable

  • Weight, Pallets, Pieces β€” all optional

Assignees

Select the company responsible for delivery. Assign a division and the person booked by if applicable.

Revenue

  • Select the revenue type:

    • Line haul + Fuel surcharge β€” a base line haul rate plus a fuel adjustment

    • Other options may be available depending on your company setup

  1. For Line haul: choose the type (e.g. Flat) and enter the rate.

  2. For Fuel surcharge: choose the type (e.g. Flat) and enter the rate.

  3. The total updates automatically as you enter rates.

Accessorials

Add any extra charges (e.g. Detention, Lumper, Driver Assist) by clicking + Add accessorial. For each one, select the type and enter the charge amount.

πŸ’‘ Example: Detention of 2 hours at 50.00/hr=$100.00 total.
