Freight Load Management

Use Freight Load Management to review and organize Freight Orders from an operations planning view.

This page helps planners see carrier work, planned dates, execution assignments, and Freight Order workload without opening each document one by one.

Freight Load Management

Before you start

Make sure that:

  • Forwarding Orders and stages exist,
  • Freight Orders have been created or can be created from stages,
  • carriers, vehicles, and drivers exist when you track execution resources,
  • status rules allow the changes planners need to make.

How to work in this page

  1. Open Freight Load Management.
  2. Filter by date, carrier, route, status, or planner-owned workload.
  3. Review unassigned or incomplete Freight Orders.
  4. Assign carrier, vehicle, or driver when the status allows it.
  5. Open the Freight Order when detailed changes are needed.
  6. Review workload before releasing or confirming carrier execution.
