How Shipper Selection Works

  • You must enter at least 3 characters to begin searching for a shipper.
  • The results display up to 5 matching shippers, each showing the City and State from the shipper's profile.
  • Selected shippers appear in a list. You can remove them individually or clear all with the X icon.

Validation Rule

  • If you select Exclude without adding any shippers, the message Select shipper to continue appears until you choose at least one shipper.

Load Alerts and Filtering

Your shipper filters also apply to Load Alerts:

  • You'll only receive Load Alert notifications that match the shipper preferences you've set.
  • This keeps your alerts relevant and avoids clutter from unwanted load offers.
