TruckMate 2025.2 New Features: Back Office

Several driver pay features have been optimized. These optimizations can be divided into four categories:

Several changes have been made to improve the Appointment Required and Spot Trailer functionality. These changes give you more precise control over client-specific requirements.

You may want to review and update client profiles to take advantage of these new settings.

Customer Profile UI change

The Appointment Required and Spot Trailer options on the Address tab of Customer Profiles have been changed from checkboxes to dropdown lists.

This allows you to select Shipper (S), Consignee (C), Both (B), or None (blank/NULL). These options reflect a database schema update for these fields (TM-181799, TM-181802).

System-wide consistency:

The updated client-specific preferences are now used by:

EDI 204 inbound enhancements (TM-181815)

You can now use Declared Value as a Charge Behavior for vendor accessorial codes.

The behavior matches how the Declared Value type works for client accessorial codes. The only exception is that you cannot set Carrier Charge as Declrd.

Declared Value has also been enabled as a Charge Behavior for vendor accessorial charge codes within the TruckMate Master Data API.

The Master Data API supports these specialEvents for trailers:

These two functions now incorporate SE_DATE.SEDATE_TO as eventEndDate on the specialEvents model base and model.

Freight Board Interface (FBI) has been updated to support the Truckstop.com REST API load board vendor. This feature requires license key 36011. It also requires version 2024.4.2.60 of the FBI application, which is available in the 25.2 TruckMate release.

The Truckstop.com REST API will eventually replace the Truckstop.com SOAP API. This will allow FBI to be used in the Trimble Transportation Cloud (TTC).

To support this, a TTC Configuration tab has been added to the FBI user interface. Here you can enter TTC configuration information.

Previously, each user had to share a common account. Now each user can link to their own unique Truckstop.com username:

Each user will need to authorize the connection, even if they are sharing a Truckstop.com account:

You can now determine which vendors the D83 2 or 3 carrier split logic should consider. A custom procedure has been added to do a custom count. A custom DB2 function was added to be able to restrict the vendors that are being considered.

A caption has been added to the AR Cash Receipts tab in Security Configuration. This caption clarifies that the settings are for Manual Cash Receipts and do not apply to AR Cash Receipt Import.

The COMDATA settings have been updated to follow their new password specifications. Passwords can now be up to 50 characters long.

There was an issue with the Reset My User ID/Password option. Selecting this option could cause an SQL error where the feature conflicted with existing entries.

This issue has been fixed.

There is a new checklist item in the Addition rules category called Set Admin status when checklist applies.

When this option is selected, you can set an admin status code. This status will be applied to a freight bill when the checklist item is added to it.

Additionally, a checklist item has been added called Completion is mandatory before Freight Bill can be assigned or added to a Trip. When selected, you can enter SQL into the Filter trips by SQL Text field.

This SQL adds filtering conditions that must be met before a freight bill can be added to a trip. These conditions apply when you add a trip in Dispatch, Multi Mode Dispatch, or CrossDock.

When creating a checklist item in the Checklist Item Wizard, you can now choose to apply an Admin status and reason code to a freight bill when the checklist item is completed.

You can now filter by user group on the Copy My Pages to Other Users window in Command Center.

In Command Center, when you select Page > Copy Page > Copy To Others, the Copy My Pages To Other Users window opens.

A new filter option called Filter By User Group has been added to this window. When you select search next to this option, the Select Group window opens. Here you can select a user group to use as a filter.

An OK and Cancel option have been added to the Enter Parameter Values to Pass to a Stored Procedure window in Command Center.

Previously, the only way to close this window was to select Close. There was no way to close the window without calling the stored procedure. Now you can select Cancel to close the window without running the stored procedure.

Code was also added to check that a parameter value was entered before the application tries to run the stored procedure. If you select OK without entering a parameter, you get an error:

Additional estimate handling for Pieces, Pallets, and Volume has been added to Customer & Vendor Profiles.

When you select Estimate as your Rating Method, the actual quantity is no longer overridden by the estimate quantity as it is for Weight, Cube, and Cube Policy. Instead, the estimate quantity is just used for rating purposes.

The timing for when STOP_EVENT records are added to the database for a child freight bill has been changed.

When the app config CSERVE.EXE - XStop Popup is set to False, selecting X-Stops in Customer Service creates a child freight bill. Now, a STOP_EVENT record for the child bill is added to the database right away.

Five new fields have been added to the IP record of the EDILink 204 Outbound file:

Their length is 12.2 (two decimals), which starts from position 862. Since the change, the IP record total length has been extended from 861 to 921.

Some rate sheets in Customer Service were showing a different currency than the rate bill.

When you right-click a record on the Details tab grid and select View Current Row in a Window, a Details window opens. On the Rating pane in this window, the Currency value in the Ratesheet column was sometimes showing the rate sheet’s original currency instead of the freight bill’s currency.

This issue has now been corrected.

The TMEDILink214IC.dll and TMEDILink214OC.dll have been updated to include the Interliner field on the OSD Maintenance tab of Customer Service. The Ext checkbox is now also controllable from the flat file.

The OSD Interliner is located in Record 6, col. 266. The Ext checkbox is record 6, col. 276 (Y/N).

You can now do a partial search when using the Find Freight Bill window in Customer Service.

Previously, you had to add either "%" or "_" to a partially entered bill number to do a wildcard search. Now you can search partial freight bill numbers without entering any wildcard symbols.

Two new configs have been added to the CSERVE.EXE section of Application Configurator:

The value you set for these app configs indicates the number of records to be processed before a DB2 commit is issued. By default, a commit is done after every record is processed:

These replace two configs that have now been removed:

In Data Purge, you can now choose which status codes to purge from the Order Status History (ODRSTAT) records.

The filter option for ODRSTAT is mandatory and cannot be cleared.
