Adding Lanes

Lanes can be configured to specify transportation legs between sites, cities, states, countries, and regions. The origination and destination can be at different geographic levels. For instance, a lane could be region- to-site, state-to-city, or state-to-region.
Some lanes require multiple stops; you can add multiple stops to a lane using Via-Points. Via-Points can be Site or Partner Site only. Lanes with Via-Points can be used only on Base Rates. Users can add lanes and multi-stop lanes as required.

To add lanes:

  1. On the Administration menu, click Regions and Lanes.
    The Regions and Lanes tab appears with three tabs at the bottom: Regions (default), Lanes, and Zones.
