How to add a stop

Adding a new stop when creating an order

P
Written by Peter

Overview

Every order in 10 Speed requires at least two stops: a pickup and a delivery. You can add as many stops as needed — there is no limit. Each stop defines the location, load type, reference information, and appointment window.

Quick Answer: In the order form, go to the Route section, click + Add stop, fill in the stop details, and click Save.

This article covers: Adding pickup, delivery, and additional stops to an order. Not covered here:

Before you start

  • The order must already be open or in progress

  • You need at least one pickup and one delivery stop before you can save the order

  • Have the destination address, appointment dates/times, and any reference numbers ready

Stop types

Each stop you add must have one of three types:

Type

When to use

Pickup

Where the load is picked up from the shipper

Delivery

Where the load is delivered to the consignee

Additional

Any stop that is not a direct pickup or delivery (e.g. terminal drop, return to origin)

How to add a stop

In the order form, go to the Route section and click + Add stop. Fill in each field below, then click Save.


1. Select load type

Choose how the trailer is handled at this stop:

  • Live — the trailer is loaded or unloaded while the driver waits. Use for pickups or deliveries.

  • Drop & Hook — the driver drops the loaded trailer and hooks an empty one. Use delivery stop type for a consignee, additional stop type for a terminal.

  • Drop — the driver drops the trailer and leaves without hooking another. Use delivery stop type for a consignee, additional stop type for a terminal.

  • Hook — the driver hooks a trailer already on site. Use for pickups or additional stops.

2. Select destination

Choose a destination from the dropdown. Recent destinations appear at the top — start typing a few letters to search for a specific location.

3. Add reference type

A reference type links the stop to a customer's internal numbering (e.g. a PO number or BOL).

  • Select an existing reference type from the dropdown, or

  • Add a one-time reference type: click Enter new reference type, type the name (minimum 3 characters), and press Save

  • Enter the reference value in the field to the right (e.g. A-2563-HT5)

  • Click Add more if you need more than one reference type for the same stop

  • Click X to remove a reference type you don't need

💡 To add a permanent reference type for reuse across orders, see How to add a reference type.


4. Set appointment

Enter the scheduled time window for this stop:

  • Enter the start date and end date.

    • For a time window (range), toggle the interval option and enter both start and end dates.

    • Enter the start time and end time.

    • For a time window, toggle the interval option and enter both start and end times.

  1. Click Save.

⚠ Appointment times use the local time zone of the destination. Double-check your entries if the stop is in a different time zone than your office.

Adding more stops

There is no limit to the number of stops on an order. If an order is returned or re-routed, add new stops for the return leg rather than editing existing ones.
