Carrier Commitments

This feature allows shippers to define the number of loads that a carrier can support on a given day of the week for a specific lane and equipment. During the tender plan generation process, if a carrier is over-committed on that shipping date, then that tender will be inactivated and a warning message will be displayed. These inactive tenders will not be considered during the tendering process. A manager or coordinator can activate such tenders to force the Tendering Engine to consider them.

The Carrier Commitment Capacity report shows the capacity and the committed and uncommitted counts against this capacity for a given Carrier and Equipment. You can view, add, and edit capacity commitments for each carrier by equipment, geo lane, and day of the week.
