Load Requirements tab

Load requirements/conditions specify special criteria that must or should be met when assigning resources (driver, tractor, trailer, or carrier) to an order.

  • A requirement is signified by a must condition. Only a resource that meets the requirement can be assigned to move the load.

  • A preference is signified by a should condition. If the assigned resource does not satisfy the condition, the system displays a warning. It will, however, allow the assignment.

Load requirements/conditions can be attached to a company in its profile. These default load requirements will appear on any order on which the company is used. For more information, see Recording default load requirements.
